The brief

Rowe sells homes on about forty blocks of Brooklyn and knows every one of them. Most agent sites look the same: a search bar, a map and a grid of listings that could be anywhere. Ben wanted a site that sounded like him walking you down the street.

Nine weeks, and a photographer who would shoot every new listing on the same light and the same angles, so the pages could look like one set.

What I did

Three legs, in the order we flew them.

Weeks 1–3

Homes before words

The homepage opens on a stack of real homes that shuffle on their own. Listings live in a collection, so a new sale is a photo, a price and a sentence about the block.

Weeks 4–6

Three neighborhoods, known well

One guide per neighborhood, written as a Saturday morning rather than a data sheet: where the light is, where to get coffee and which co-op boards move fast.

Numbers an agent can stand behind

Recent sales, days on market and asking versus closing price, drawn from real closings and updated by Ben in a few minutes a month.

Outcome

The site launched in time for the spring market. Sellers now ask for a valuation after reading a neighborhood guide, and Ben adds each new sale to the page himself the day it closes.

Past results, not a promise.

“People tell me the site sounds like me walking them down the block. That's what I asked for, and I never have to call anyone to add a listing.”
