The user needs

The current landscape in the market comes with a lot of unknowns with valuable information that are hidden behind closed doors. Buyers and renters are not preview to historical facts of the property they're about to purchase or rent. Some information are critical that it can impact their long term experience with the property.

With verified reviews from tenants or occupiers, Property Reviewed believes in providing more power to property seekers through genuine reviews that allow them to take the guesswork out of searching for a property and be able to make informed decisions on their investments.

The business needs

Property Reviewed is the first Australian online review platform for the property industry, providing transparent and unbiased reviews from an end user experience perspective, such as tenants.

We understand that Property Reviewed saw a gap and the opportunity to be a trusted platform that meets the needs of both the buyer/renter and the landlord/agent; with the view of one day being a benchmark to real property reviews and can influence property market value in Australia.

Our approach
Results-focused Design Sprint program

Within 1 month, the team at Property Reviewed and Relab co-designed a solution – a vision of what a great experience might look and feel like. We rapidly understood the landscape, user pain points and frustrations, aligned our vision and finally created a high fidelity design prototype and experience flow that are specific to the business goal and user needs.

Through 1-to-1 user interview sessions, coupled with team observation & note taking in parallel – We were able to gain both qualitative and quantitative insights that helped us with the synthesis and summary presented in this document.

REAL USER FEEDBACK
Qualitative user testing research

Applying the 5 act interview method for the qualitative research, we managed to capture real user insights early on, which were valuable to gain as a reference to structure the newly improved experience and solution. Testers that are gathered have been carefully selected to cover various aspects or traits of the persona.

Visualising the experience

Leveraging from the discovery and research stages, the Design Sprint team mapped out the ideal customer journey stages to ensure that both customer needs and business goals are streamlined. Most importantly, the team decided on a focus area within the user journey, that is seen to be the most important part of the idea to prototype and further test.
