2. System Overview

The system will cater to three primary user personas: Buyers/Renters, Sellers/Landlords, and Admins.

The platform will also integrate communication tools to facilitate direct interactions between buyers and sellers.

6. Signature Design Concept

Features:
- Animation: Pencil-sketch transitions to real images on hover.
- Interactive Filters: Sliders and dropdowns embedded into the blueprint design.
- Micro-interactions: Clicking on a property will "zoom in" to reveal detailed floor plans and amenities.

This design will create an unforgettable first impression, blending creativity with functionality.
