Client:
Clifton Homes, a leading technology-driven real estate brokerage in Ghana. Clifton Homes is a strong and growing market for high-end properties, luxury apartments, and gated communities. These are especially popular among high-net-worth individuals, young professionals, and the diaspora, as they offer enhanced security, premium amenities like gyms and pools, and high-quality finishes.
Challenge:
The market intelligence teams at Clifton Homes faced significant obstacles. They relied on manual, weekly data pulls to identify shifts in buyer preference, such as changes in preferred neighborhoods, house size, or budget caps.
This long lag time meant that marketing and listing strategies were always reactive to trends, never proactive. Furthermore, without a predictive understanding of what buyers would want next, agents wasted time showing properties that were poor matches. The crucial agent-to-property matching process was based on guesses rather than solid data, leading to notoriously low conversion rates. Compounding these issues, the legacy SQL database couldn't handle the high volume and velocity of real-time search and clickstream data, often leading to slow report generation and frequent system crashes during peak load.
Goal:
The goal of Clifton Homes is to overcome these challenges, Clifton Homes established clear objectives. They aimed to establish a central Data Lake/Warehouse to unify all buyer behavioral, listing, and transactional data.
The second key goal was to develop a Propensity-to-Buy Machine Learning Model driven by real-time behavioral data. Finally, they wanted to implement self-service BI dashboards for market managers and sales agents to visualize emerging trends instantly.
Solution:
We designed and implemented a scalable data architecture that consolidated all buyer, listing, and transaction data into a centralized data platform capable of handling high-velocity real-time inputs. On top of this foundation, we developed a Propensity-to-Buy machine learning model driven by live behavioral signals, enabling predictive buyer profiling. Self-service BI dashboards were deployed to provide instant visualization of market movements, buyer preferences, and listing performance, allowing agents to act on insights immediately.
Result:
The results were transformative for Clifton Homes. The trend identification reaction time was slashed from five days to just one hour, enabling agents and marketers to act instantly on shifts in neighborhood demand, listing prices, and property features, thereby maximizing revenue.
