Overview


Nowadays, real estate websites or apps are widely used for home buyers, sellers, renters and realtors. As my husband and I decided to move to a new house, we chose Zillow to browse and contact an agent. While we were using their service, we had come a cross a few pain points while navigating through the app. Therefore, I wanted to research what other pain points exist and how they can be remedied. In order to find adequate solutions and test ideas faster, I conducted a 5-day sprint method. I redesigned their Home page menu, filter, and how the property detail page shows based on the research.
