Case Study

Reverse Marketplace UX for Housing.com

How Housing.com flipped the real estate market to empower sellers

"What if we told real estate agents they could stop chasing leads and let the right buyers come to them? At Housing.com, one of India's leading property platforms, we turned this "what if" into reality by flipping the traditional marketplace model on its head.”

What Did We Solve?

In the traditional real estate market, buyers endlessly scroll through listings while agents spend countless hours pursuing leads that may not convert. Our research revealed:

  • 70% of buyers struggled to find properties matching their needs

  • 65% of agents couldn't effectively understand buyer preferences

  • High bounce rates on search pages indicated user frustration

The solution? Create a system where buyer requirements automatically flow to the right sellers.

My Approach:

    • Conducted comprehensive market research

    • Ran user interviews and focus groups

    • Analyzed competitor platforms

    • Studied platform usage patterns

    • Designed an intelligent lead matching system

    • Created an encrypted chat interface

    • Developed a seamless notification system

    • Built an intuitive seller dashboard
