Caribbean Property Technology Research, Market Intelligence and Data Analysis

Real Estate Beyond the Online Shop Window

We investigate how people discover, market and evaluate property—and publish what the evidence shows.

Beginning in Barbados. Expanding across the Caribbean.

The Property Journey Map: a working map of the eight stages a property seeker passes through, and who supports them at each — 1 Discover (real estate agency), 2 Compare (property platforms), 3 Enquire (real estate agent), 4 View (agent and property owner), 5 Finance (mortgage provider), 6 Verify (conveyancing), 7 Transact (banking and finance), 8 Complete (land registry).
