Sotheby's International Realty 12+

I generally like this app; it’s a bit slow & there’s some randomness in the layout choices, but overall it works with one massive exception: there’s NO back button from the detailed listing view. You have to literally start a new search, OR scroll way to the bottom of the listing page and tap “continue search,” which is inexcusable.

I’m going to be generous and assume this was an oversight, but it needs to be fixed yesterday. Users should always have basic wayfinding navigation. I’ll update my ranking if this gets fixed but the app is not usable as-is.

I want to buy real estate in a number of countries, everything is in place except for this app. Sotheby’s, a name of excellence, what gives??? I cannot wait for the morning I wake up to see an update (or whole new app) so I can seamlessly select my properties and contact the selling agents. As it sits, this thing is attempting to give one a stroke.

Feels like a template design purchased over the counter. Not in the least bit consumer-centric like other well-known real estate apps. Basic IDX functions that consumers expect in 2022. Basic information that one could find anywhere. Doesn’t show school info, nearby amenities, events, detailed tax data, average rents in the area, or really anything at all besides the pretty pictures, 3D Tour and a link to “area info” that isn’t nearly granular enough to be useful for consumers wanting to know the neighborhood better. Do better Sotheby’s, come on!
