Creating home search, agent search, and market trend platforms, we dig into local data to give you an accurate understanding of the neighbourhood you're interested in. We can go as far as telling you the type of car your neighbours typically drive, what they watch on tv, and what books they read. I initially created the entire product, eventually growing the team to 4 Designers.

Users can then dig into the listing page for detailed home information, photos, as well as school, crime, trend, and neighbour information.
