01.Overview

Redesigning a complex real estate CRM to improve usability and product adoption

PropAI CRM was designed to help real estate sales teams manage leads, meetings, inventory, contracts, reports, and communication workflows in one platform. Through user interviews and usability analysis, I worked on restructuring the experience to simplify complex workflows, improve usability, and increase product engagement across both web and mobile platforms.

Solving usability issues that affected engagement and retention

Solving usability issues that affected engagement and retention

After interviewing multiple real estate sales agents, I discovered that users were struggling to manage the large number of actions inside the CRM. Key features such as leads, meetings, tasks, inventory, contracts, reports, and chatbot interactions felt overwhelming and difficult to navigate.

Some of the biggest pain points included:

  • Complex and unclear workflows

  • Difficult-to-understand reports and data visualization

  • Confusing modals for adding and editing information

  • High cognitive load across core CRM actions
