About
The Project

It provides free property listings, effortless lettings, and advanced features like personalized search filters, EMI calculators, and Augmented Reality property views. The app streamlines property discovery, enables seamless communication between users, and allows saving favorites for future reference. Hoffr empowers users to make informed property decisions while enhancing transparency and convenience in the private property market.
Process We Followed
After lining up salient details related to the project, our team outlined a course of action that would be followed to develop a comprehensive solution. The process comprised of identification of problems, considering the relevant factors of the solution, taking note of common challenges faced, technology stack to be used and coming up with the outcome in the end.
1. Problem Identification
Users struggled with property consultations and bookings; Hoffr app simplifies this by connecting buyers and sellers directly, offering search filters, free/low-cost listings, and an EMI calculator for smarter property decisions.
3. Solution Implementation
We conducted user research and a product discovery workshop to understand needs, behaviors, and project scope, while analyzing competitors to identify market gaps, ensuring the Hoffr app delivers a user-focused, competitive property solution.
2. Feasibility Study
We assessed project feasibility, covering phases, budget, and compatibility, aiming for a property app that connects buyers directly, with Facebook login, touch-based listings, open home viewings, offer submissions, and favorite property saving.
4. Challenges Faced by QSS
Developing Hoffr posed challenges like seamless admin management, merchant communication, advanced search filters, transparent pricing, AR property views, and map integration to ensure a smooth, user-friendly real estate experience.
5. Final Outcome Achieved
Hoffr app delivers a seamless property experience with AR views, verified buyer connections, personalized seller support, detailed listings, push notifications, cost calculators, and easy social sign-in for an enhanced real estate journey.
Problem Identification
There were times when people were tired of making roundabouts to property dealers’ offices for just either a property consultation or booking advice. Online property booking apps have leveraged many property finders and have made the job easier. Now, what we intend is to take this private sales and lettings marketplace to a whole new level with the new property app.
- Connecting buyers and sellers without an intermediary or letting agents
- Provide users with filters and customer keyword search
- Making the property available at a free or ultra-low-cost
- EMI calculator feature to assist buyers with a home loan
Feasibility Study
The viability of the project was already looked over; now it was time to go through the level of expertise required and qualitative assessments of other essential components. We touched every critical point such as major phases, implementation, total cost budget, compatibility and so on. We aimed at developing a property solution that connects buyers with real people.
- Making loginization easy with Facebook connect
- Easy listing of property with “details-on-touch” feature
- Open home feature for hassle-free property viewing
- Easy for buyers to make offers via the app
- Allow users to save favourite properties to refer back later
Solution Implementation
Before diving into user research, our team structured a clear roadmap for Hoffr by analyzing project scope, defining success metrics, and identifying potential technical challenges. This preparation ensured a focused, efficient approach to delivering a user-centric property solution.
User research
User research plays a vital role in enhancing UX and making them interact with the interface in a more determined way. By carrying out research, we gained an understanding of user behaviours, needs and identified a problem which can be resolved by launching a one-of-its property solution.
Product discovery workshop
The best way to kick-off the project as planned is through a product discovery workshop. The discovery workshop helps the project development team to find out everything about the digital solution that is going to be developed which mainly involves customer-oriented approach, practical insights, product's vision and functionalities. A research workshop for the app development cycle is part of the planning phase.
This product discovery workshop was led by the product manager in the presence of the client and the project development team. After discussing definite scope and the budget of the project, the app developers outlined a free-hand structure of the project, defined the success indicators, expected user behaviour, challenges etc.. The discovery workshop answered many key questions which were essential for app development.
Competitor Analysis
The mobile app industry is one of the most highly competitive industries at the moment. By examining the market and get a list of competitors in a similar business, we can determine the strengths and weaknesses of the competitors within the market.
Challenges Faced by Team QSS
An app without a challenge is an app not carefully studied. It is nearly impossible to not come across any difficulties while developing a digital solution. Our team of experienced programmers too face a challenging situation while carrying off the project.
- Seamless management of admin panel
- Allow contacting merchants through email and messages
- Search filters to refine product discovery
- Provide transparency in prices of properties
