00 · The short version

One platform, two very different users.

Leads Den is a real estate web platform for the Australian market. Buyers discover properties by suburb, type and specification. Agents list and manage many properties at once. Both live in one product.

  • The problem

    Listing data overwhelms buyers, and listing tools slow agents down. One product had to serve both.

  • The team

    One designer, one developer and one stakeholder, over two months. I owned UX, UI, structure and the prototype.

  • The result

    A responsive website with separate buyer and agent flows under one system.

01 · Who it's for

Buyers want trust. Agents want speed.

Two groups with almost opposite needs, sharing one platform.

  • Buyer

    Needs clarity and trust

    Fast decision support, reliable listing data, and a low-friction path from discovery to inquiry.

  • Agent

    Needs speed and control

    Efficient listing creation, flexible property management, and visibility over the whole portfolio.

02 · What shaped it

In Australia, a property search starts with a suburb.

Search behaviour depends heavily on suburb, property type and availability. So the product had to follow that order, not fight it.

  • Goal 01

    Clear property discovery with fast filtering and location-based search.

  • Goal 02

    An agent-friendly listing system for uploading and managing many properties.

  • Goal 03

    Less friction between browsing, inquiry, booking and purchase intent.

So the brief wrote itself

How might we help buyers qualify a listing at a glance, and let agents list fast, without the two getting in each other's way?

03 · The problems

Four problems, pinned down.

04 · Key decisions

Search first. Everything else second.

  • 01

    Search-first structure

    Discovery starts with suburb and specification filters above the fold, matching how Australians actually search.

  • 02

    Clear listing hierarchy

    Type, size and price appear early on each card, so buyers qualify a listing without opening every page.

  • 03

    Dual user logic

    Buyer and agent journeys are separate flows under one system, each focused without competing for UI space.

05 · The final UI

Here's where it landed.

Switch between the agent dashboard and the buyer experience, then try both flows in the live prototype.

06 · What it does

From first search to booked visit.

  • Property search

    Search by suburb, county and specification, from 1BHK and 2BHK to larger homes across Australia.

  • Property details

    Specs, location, price history and agent contact, structured for quick decisions.

  • Booking flow

    Request a visit, express interest and start booking, all from the property page.

  • Agent listing

    Upload and manage many listings with details, images and specifications through a structured form.

The takeaway

I started with two users pulling in opposite directions. I wanted one product that gives each of them exactly what they came for.

  • Search-first structure matched how people really look for property.
  • Clear listing cards let buyers qualify a home at a glance.
  • Separate flows kept buyers and agents focused inside one system.

Marketplace products need a strong balance between two user groups. Search behaviour often decides success more than visual choices, and property decisions depend on clear information hierarchy, not on the number of features.

That's a wrap
