How would your search for a home change If…

Summer in Crete, and I’m out searching for the perfect home. It sounds easy—sunshine, sea, maybe a great “opportunity.”

Mr. Tasos Michaelides from Michaelides Family—Buy and Sell Estate Agency—did everything to help me. The houses all had character, but every new place brought new questions: numbers, lists, ChatGPT, and real estate words I sometimes knew from experience, sometimes had to learn right then and there.

Who really has the time or the patience for buying seminars? No matter how prepared you think you are, there’s always something you miss—and you end up spending your time on notes, comparisons, and endless conversations.

Later, in Belgium, the office of Sophie Beguin in Ronse helped me once again. I was lucky to have real professionals by my side through the whole process. But even in “organized” markets, if information isn’t available in your own language, the stress stays.

How many of us feel the same déjà vu—chasing the same numbers, asking the same questions, often in a language we don’t fully speak?

What if there was a tool, right next to every listing, that answered your questions before you even started looking? Something that makes the professional smile, the buyer relax, and the whole experience feel more human?

At first, technology is impressive. Then, it just helps you. And one day, you forget what life was like before. Like when you turn on the light with a switch, or your washing machine works while you’re away.

Technology isn’t here to impress—it’s here to make important things simple, whether it’s language or all those terms that can make or break a good deal.

Until I find the perfect home for me… I want to know there’s always someone (or something!) to “translate” whatever gets in my way.
