How a real estate platform redesign helped a co-ownership startup scale customer acquisition
About the project
CoHome partnered with Lazarev.agency to scale its digital presence and grow market share in the competitive real estate co-ownership space. The objective of the real estate platform redesign was to increase user engagement, improve conversion performance, and position the platform as a trusted entry point for fractional real estate investment.
Through strategic UX improvements and funnel-driven website architecture, we built stronger acquisition flows, elevated credibility, and delivered a scalable platform designed for sustainable growth.
Applied a minimalist design system to simplify investment decisions
We introduced a clean, minimalist UI with light backgrounds, refined typography, and generous white space. This approach reduced visual noise and improved readability, making complex investment information easier to consume and helping users move confidently through the decision-making process.

Structured the homepage around a sales-driven conversion funnel
As part of the real estate platform redesign, we rebuilt the homepage as a performance-focused funnel. From the first interaction, users are guided to explore properties and calculate potential returns. This structure immediately engages visitors, shortens the path to value, and increases the likelihood of conversion.
Implemented tools to drive client engagement and growth
To support new and existing users, we introduced advanced features like a detailed investment calculator and referral program. Clients can explore properties with rich visuals, accurate financial projections, and smart filters, while agents gain access to training materials and marketing resources to drive growth. This real estate platform redesign strengthened acquisition funnels, improved user engagement, and delivered a scalable platform built for long-term growth.
