Timeline
Role
Aug 2022 - Jul 2023
UX/UI Designer
Frida is a real estate platform for agents, who are constantly changing and growing, which means that keeping track of all of their clients, leads, and activities is a challenge.
Frida manages this by providing them an easy-to-use interface that allows them to quickly track their activity,
and focus on what matters most:
selling houses, not
managing their calendars.
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
How can we improve the real estate agents' experience, allowing them to better monitor and assess their progress and prioritize tasks more effectively?
Real estate agents are increasingly feeling the strain of having to manage numerous clients, leads, properties and activities.
This is resulting in less time being available to focus on the actual sales process, leading to less productivity and efficiency. It's becoming increasingly difficult for them to stay on top of everything and to prioritize which tasks need to be completed first.
As a result, their sales process is suffering, which can have a detrimental effect on their bottom line.

DESIGN PROCESS
We wanted to understand the goals, needs, and pain points of real estate agents regarding how to manage their activities more efficiently.
To gain insight into what they require to do this, we conducted focused surveys asking questions about the tools they use, the issues they face, and ideas for improvement.
We analyzed the answers, looking for overall trends and specific insights, and grouped them by types of needs (e.g., technology, marketing, training, social), the source of the pain points (e.g., lack of resources, competition, difficulty finding clients), and the types of goals (e.g., increasing sales, expanding into new markets, improving customer service).
Finally, the team conducted customer interviews with agents in order to better understand user needs and their opinions about existing solutions.
COMPETITIVE AUDIT
The insights gained from the competitive audit provided a comprehensive understanding of the digital tool landscape. This allowed us to identify potential opportunities for improvement, competitive advantages, and customer preferences and satisfaction.
In addition, we were able to gain a greater understanding of the competitive landscape and identify potential partnerships or collaborations.
