Broad incumbents

• ЦИАН (CIAN): Russia's leading real estate classifieds platform with millions of listings. Not a direct agency, but controls upstream demand flow that agencies like EVO depend on for leads, and increasingly offers transaction services that compete with traditional brokers.
• Авито Недвижимость (Avito): Russia's largest general classifieds platform with a substantial real estate vertical. Competes indirectly with EVO for buyer attention and is increasingly expanding into professional services and primary market listings.
• Яндекс Недвижимость (Yandex.Realty): Major Russian real estate search platform operated by Yandex, aggregating listings from agencies and owners. An indirect competitor that captures buyer intent before agencies, while also offering agent matching services in some categories.
• ДомКлик (DomClick): Sberbank's real estate platform integrating listings, mortgage origination, and transaction services. Operates as a vertically integrated competitor that could disintermediate traditional agencies like EVO in primary market transactions.

Direct peers

• Миэль (Miel): Major Russian real estate agency group offering brokerage, rental, legal, and property management services across Moscow and other regions. Shares EVO's full-service model and reliance on commission-based revenue from residential transactions.
• Инком-Недвижимость (Inkom-Nedvizhimost): One of Russia's oldest and largest real estate agencies, headquartered in Moscow with broad service offerings including residential and commercial brokerage, rentals, and legal support. Comparable to EVO in full-service transaction model, though at a larger scale and different geography.
• Этажи (Etazhi): Russia's largest real estate agency franchise with thousands of agents across multiple cities, offering similar services (buying, selling, rental, mortgage brokerage). Directly comparable to EVO in business model and service scope, but operates at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Самолёт Плюс (Samolet Plus): Proptech and brokerage arm associated with major Russian developer Samolet, offering new construction sales, secondary market services, and mortgage brokerage. A vertically integrated emerging player competing for the same transaction flow as EVO.
