Visual Similarities
Use AI to find the most similar properties and images
within your market
Search made simple based on intuitive visuals
When a potential home buyer is asked what they want their next property to look like, they commonly respond with some form of “I don’t know how to describe it, but I know it when I see it.” We’re sure you can relate, which got us thinking, “What if there was a more visual way to search?”. Taking cues from social media’s ability to endless feed users personalized content based on their interactions with an app, we set out to build a solution that made finding your ideal next property simple and intuitive.
