About Homerun

What if real estate wasn’t all “suit-and-tie” meetings and convoluted jargon, but more like “game night”—interactive, fun, and just a little competitive? This was the challenge we set for Home Run Website: to create a platform that blends gamication with real estate education,

making it engaging for everyone—from seasoned investors to casual learners and even avid gamers.

Please note: The mobile application for this project was developed by another esteemed agency, Design Monks. Our team was responsible for designing the web version only. The case study presented below exclusively showcases our work on the web experience.

Goals

Our team’s mission was clear: Create an engaging, game-like experience that appeals to real estate enthusiasts, casual learners, and competitive gamers who want to “outbid” everyone else. To ensure the platform hit a home run with all types of users, we identified two primary personas:

  • Real Estate Investors: Experienced pros seeking tools that would teach them efficiently while keeping them entertained.
  • Casual Users: People intrigued by real estate but not interested in being bored by a textbook approach.
  • Competitive Gamers: Users craving rivalry and fun, but still eager to learn something valuable along the way.

Market Research

To ensure that Home Run Website didn’t just blend in within the real estate sector, but truly shattered expectations, we dug into three critical areas: gamification, auction platforms, and real estate education. The goal wasn’t to reinvent the wheel, but to take the best elements from each of these worlds and combine them into a fresh, exciting, and effective user experience.

Here's how we approached the market research process
