In 2019, around 5.34 million existing homes were sold in the United States. While there are plenty of options to view properties, such as Zillow, Redfin, and Open Door, there are few that allow you to work together with your real estate agent to find the home of your dreams. Remine’s consumer platform was designed to empower real estate agents while delivering a delightful way for consumers to view and make offers on properties.

Property listing pages house a massive amount of information including photos, school districts, valuations, commute times, and other details. Since the page is so long, the right hand side is a floating action bar including a dropdown where consumers can select which set of details they would like to see and can always move forward with making an offer, contacting their real estate agent, sharing, or adding to favorites. My team and I decided it would be best to have these actions always available to drive more user interactions.

One of the 5 top pain points for first time home buyers is understanding the finances of buying a house. With the “What You’ll Pay” feature, users can interact with the payment calculator to get a clear understanding of their monthly expenses as well as what they will have to put down during their closing transaction.

Comparative Market Analysis (aka CMA) is one of the best ways to determine if a house has a fair market value. Empowering users to be able to complete these comparisons themselves is especially important considering 93% of buyers use the internet in their home search and 50% found the house they ended up purchasing online. Not only was this feature designed for buyers to evaluate if they are offering a fair price, but also for sellers to determine their listing price.

Making an offer on a house is an exciting but overwhelming multistep process. Some of the top pain points for homebuyers include understanding the finances and paperwork involved, putting in an offer before someone else outbids you, and planning the closing time. This flow was designed to guide a buyer through each necessary step of making an offer while having their real estate agent review and verify all of the details. Having a buyer submit an offer themselves can cut down on the time a broker would spend gathering this information which will streamline the offer process to ensure a quick bid that can easily transform into a sale.

In an effort to breakdown some of the complexities of valuations and timelines, I made sure to include plenty of visual elements and explanations of each step. In the closing schedule example, I added a skip button in case a buyer is unsure about filling out these preferences so they could review it with their broker.
