Villeos simplifies the home-buying journey by integrating essential features and optimizing workflows. It offers a seamless, all-in-one solution for prospective homeowners.
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 is 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.
Starting with a mobile-first approach, these wireframes gradually expanded to encompass web screens. After completing the wireframes, we presented them to Royal Sundaram for feedback, ensuring alignment with their goals before moving on to the visual design phase.
We developed a unique set of icons that ensure clear, intuitive navigation, enhancing both functionality and visual consistency throughout the app.
The UI design focuses on a clean and intuitive interface, featuring simple, user-friendly navigation for buyers, agents, and collaborators. It includes integrated communication tools like chat and video calls, along with an in-app calendar for scheduling. Additionally, collaboration tools and task tracking are easily accessible to enhance teamwork and efficiency.
The project successfully delivered a robust real estate platform that meets the diverse needs of buyers, agents, and collaborators. The platform enhances communication, scheduling, and collaboration, streamlining the home-buying process.
