The project aims to design a comprehensive digital platform for the U.S. real estate market, facilitating the buying process for homebuyers, agents, and collaborators. The platform integrates chat, video calls, and an in-app calendar to streamline communication and scheduling.

During the discovery phase, we identified the primary users of the platform: buyers, agents, and collaborators. Each user group has specific needs:

• Buyers: Need access to a list of houses, live walk-ins, detailed property pages, and tools for collaboration.
• Agents: Require features to manage appointments, interact with buyers, and recommend properties.
• Collaborators: Need visibility into the buying process and the ability to contribute to decision-making.

The primary challenge was to develop a user-friendly platform that seamlessly integrates all the necessary features for buyers, agents, and collaborators. The platform must cater to the specific needs of each user type while maintaining a cohesive and intuitive design. It should facilitate smooth communication through chat and video calls, support detailed property management, and allow for efficient appointment scheduling and tracking.

The platform will provide:

• Buyers: Access to property listings, the ability to schedule and manage appointments, collaborate with others, and track the buying process.
• Agents: Tools to accept or reject buyer requests, manage appointments, recommend properties, and communicate with buyers.
• Collaborators: A dual-view system allowing them to contribute to buying decisions and manage collaboration groups.
