Introduction
One of the biggest industries in the world is real estate, and there is growing demand for real estate mobile applications. The objective is to create a mobile application that lets users purchase, lease, and handle real estate. Users of the app can register as individuals, corporations, or landlords. The software must offer a seamless user experience, be effective, and be simple to use.
Overview
RealtyProx is a lifestyle application that was created mainly to make estate management and activities surrounding it as seamless and digital as it can be.The platform eradicates the stressful manual search for properties and provides access to best, quality properties out there. Every activity happens on the platform, and so you can forget about security issues.

Research
We began by conducting online surveys with people who had lately looked for rental or purchase properties. They were questioned on their real estate app usage experience, their preferred property search criteria, the value of property information, and their hopes for communication and security in a real estate app.
According to the results of the study, users frequently have trouble locating properties that meet their requirements and value comprehensive property information, including photos, videos, and floor plans. Users also stated that they value security and privacy when using real estate apps, and that they would like to be able to interact directly with property owners or real estate agents through the app.
Design
Based on our research, we developed an information architecture that would be intuitive and easy to navigate. The app is divided into 3 main sections:
Individual section
Corporate section
Land lord section
Wire-frames
We created wireframes based on the information architecture and user personas. We used a simple and clean design that emphasizes usability and accessibility. We also made sure to use a font and color scheme that are easy to read and understand.
Visual Design
We created a visual design that is clean, contemporary, and simple to comprehend. The color scheme is based on the colors of the company, with blue and white taking center stage. To improve the user experience and make the app more aesthetically appealing, we used images and icons.
Prototype
We created a prototype of the app using Figma. The prototype included all the main features and sections of the app, including the property search, property details, saved properties, account management etc.
Resposibilities
I was involved with the following stages of this project:
Conducting user research
Creating user flows
Information architectures
Sketches and wireframe
Prototyping
Usability testing
Online survey
To better comprehend people's needs and problems with purchasing, renting, and managing properties, we also did in-depth interviews with individuals, corporates and landlords.
Through these interviews, we discovered that when it comes to real estate applications, people value simplicity of use and effective search. They want an app that makes it simple for them to quickly filter and sort their search results because they frequently have specific criteria in mind, such as area, price, and property type. Corporates, on the other hand, value the ability to search for properties in particular areas or neighborhoods and give priority to finding properties that suit their business needs, such as office or retail space. When managing their properties, landlords place a high value on efficiency and usability. They seek an app that makes it simple for them to list, update, and connect with prospective renters.

Usability Testing
We conducted user testing with individuals, corporates, and landlords to validate our design and ensure that it met their needs and expectations. We provided participants with a series of tasks, such as searching for a property, saving a property to their favorites, and updating their account information. We observed their interactions with the app and asked for feedback on its functionality, usability, and design.
From user testing, we found that users were able to easily navigate the app and complete their tasks. They appreciated the app's clean and modern design, and they found the property information to be detailed and informative. Users also noted that the app's customization features, such as the ability to save favorite properties and set search criteria, made it easy to find properties that matched their needs. Overall, user testing confirmed that the app we designed met the needs and expectations of our target users.
Challenges and Limitations
While conducting research and designing the app, we faced several limitations and challenges:
Time constraints: One of the biggest challenges we faced was time constraints. We had a limited amount of time to conduct research, design the app, and conduct user testing. This meant that we had to prioritize certain tasks and make quick decisions, which could have limited the depth and breadth of our research.
Limited access to participants: Another challenge we faced was limited access to participants, particularly for the landlord and corporate user groups. We found it difficult to recruit participants who fit these user groups and who were willing to participate in our research. This made it harder to gather insights specific to these user groups and to ensure that our design met their unique needs.
Complex user requirements: Designing an app that meets the needs of multiple user groups with complex requirements was also a challenge. Individuals, corporates, and landlords have different priorities and use cases, and designing an app that caters to all of these groups required careful consideration and planning.
Technical limitations: Designing a real estate app that incorporates a wide range of features and functionalities can also present technical limitations. We needed to ensure that the app was responsive and user-friendly on different mobile devices, and that it could handle a large volume of data and transactions. This required working closely with developers and considering technical limitations throughout the design process.
Competitive market: The real estate app market is highly competitive, with many established players offering similar services. This meant that we needed to design an app that stands out and offers unique value to users. We also needed to ensure that our app was able to compete with established players in terms of features, functionality, and user experience.
Overall, while designing the real estate app, we had to work within these limitations and challenges to deliver a solution that met the needs and expectations of our target users.
Conclusion
In conclusion, designing a real estate app that enables users to buy, rent, and manage properties on mobile devices requires careful consideration of user needs, technical limitations, and competitive factors. Through online surveys, in-depth interviews, and user testing, we were able to gather insights on the preferences and pain points of individuals, corporates, and landlords, and design an app that met their unique needs. Despite facing challenges such as time constraints, limited access to participants, complex user requirements, technical limitations, and a competitive market, we were able to deliver an app that provides a seamless user experience, intuitive navigation, and a modern visual design. With our app, users are able to easily search for properties, view detailed property information, communicate with property owners or real estate agents, and manage their account information. Overall, we believe that our real estate app provides a comprehensive solution for buying, renting, and managing properties on mobile devices.
