Third eye

Problem

Because of the distance, many find it difficult to visit properties before migrating.

People do not believe it is safe to pay in advance and reserve a property before visiting.

People have reported that the photographs on the app differ from the actual state of the home.

Solution

Allow consumers to virtually tour properties through video call in order to assess the state and validity of the property with the assistance of third-party agents.

They may book the property after a virtual visit and confirm that it is genuine.

Key insights

Key insights derived from the internet research

People are hesitant to pay an advance/deposit before confirming the condition and validity.

Most people have lost money by paying an advance/deposit prior to visiting since they had no choice but to reserve a home before departing.

Going to the location, sleeping in a hotel, and looking for a place to stay are expensive, but most individuals choose to do so rather than fall victim to fraud.
