Challenge

Search that understands the buyer.

Property search in Albania is spread across agency sites, social media posts and word of mouth. Listings are duplicated, prices are inconsistent, and a buyer who wants a two-bedroom flat near a school with parking has no way to ask for that in plain words.

The platform had to work for agencies with hundreds of listings and for a family selling one apartment, on a phone, over an average connection, without a sales call to get started.

The approach.

  1. Discover

    Interviews with agencies and buyers in Tirana; a survey of every listing source; a golden set of two hundred real search questions to grade against.

  2. Design

    One ingestion pipeline that de-duplicates, geocodes and tags listings with AI, feeding a single index that both filters and plain-language search read from.

  3. Build

    Weekly releases behind feature flags. Search quality measured against the golden set on every deploy; anything below the previous score does not ship.

  4. Operate

    Infrastructure as code, dashboards for ingestion lag and search latency, and alerts that page only when a buyer would notice.

AI features.

AI

Plain-language search

Ask for a flat near a school with parking under a budget; the assistant turns it into filters and explains what it understood.

AI

Listing enrichment

Every listing is tagged for light, noise, renovation state and transport access from photos and text, so filters work on what matters.

AI

Duplicate detection

The same apartment posted by three agencies becomes one listing with all three contacts, not three results.

AI

Price sanity

Listings priced far from comparable ones are flagged to the buyer and to the agency, quietly.

AI

Agency tools

Bulk import, lead routing and a dashboard that shows which listings get seen and which get ignored.
