About BuyLetLive

BuyLetLive is a leading PropTech platform connecting property seekers, sellers, agents, and developers across Africa. With over 35,000 properties listed for rent, sale, and shortlet, and 7,000+ onboarded agents and developers, BuyLetLive has transformed how people discover and transact real estate.

The challenges

No Established Platform

As a startup, BuyLetLive had no existing system or digital infrastructure. The platform needed to be built from the ground up, and a lot of decisions had to be made around the platform's architecture, features, and user experience.

Diverse Stakeholder Needs

The platform needed to cater to a wide range of user types, including property seekers, agents, landlords, and developers. Each user type had different needs and expectations, and the platform needed to be designed to meet their specific requirements.

Unclear Monetization Path

The platform needed subscription plans and advertising opportunities to generate revenue from agents and developers. However, the monetization path was unclear, and the platform needed to be designed to support different revenue streams.

Unclear Product Roadmap

There were a lot of features to be built, and prioritization was a major challenge. The platform had to be launched as an MVP with the most critical features first to engage users and visitors.

We built BuyLetLive from the ground up.

Our collaboration with BuyLetLive focused on creating a seamless presence and engaging customer experience. We developed a user-friendly web app and mobile app that enabled users to easily search, compare, and choose properties seamlessly, while also catering to all other user types.
