AI-Powered Property Photo Analyser
An AI-powered application that uses image recognition to detect property features and enable advanced search and ranking based on detailed characteristics.
Challenge
In real estate market, where renters and buyers begin their property search online, photos are an essential part of the home research journey, and good quality photos play a crucial role in property listings.
93% of home seekers form their first impression based on property images, and 94% of buyers are more likely to view a property with high-quality photos
Despite the importance of images in the home-search journey, current property search platforms fail to use photos to identify key house features, leaving renters and buyers to navigate an overwhelming number of listings on their own.
Solution
The solution, Home Match AI, uses AI-powered visual analysis to extract valuable information directly from property images and rank listings based on specific characteristics. The goal is not to replace existing real estate platforms but to complement them and integrate where possible. Initially focused on the UK real estate market, the solution will expand to the Greek market, with scalability to adapt to new markets and property dimensions as market needs evolve.
Key Components
- Fine-tuned visual AI model trained to identify specific property features
- Multi-dimensional ranking model for property listings
- Tailored prompt engineering to interpret images and provide highly specific, real estate-relevant analysis

My Role
As the Product Manager, I lead market and user research efforts while defining and managing the development roadmap. I also act as the AI and Technical Lead, responsible for the solution’s architecture, including developing the AI algorithm and fine-tuning the model. Leading a team of two engineers, I oversee the technical implementation of the solution. Additionally, I manage the communication strategy and promote the solution, pitching it to real estate agents and key stakeholders to drive adoption and success.
Results
The solution has been integrated into the internal system of a UK-based real estate agency, enabling agents to filter and prioritise properties more effectively and efficiently for their clients.
17% reduction in time spent on properties that are not suitable for renters
My team and I continue to enhance and expand the solution by collaborating closely with key stakeholders in the real estate market.
