Mercers Kensington

Zimbabwe's leading estate agency needed more than a website refresh — they needed an AI-native property platform that works for their trilingual market, automates their social presence, and gives their agents a proper digital workspace.

The Challenge

Mercers had a static informational website that did nothing for their business. Enquiries came through WhatsApp and phone calls that went unanswered outside office hours. Their agents managed listings in spreadsheets, and social media was posted manually — if at all.

Critically, their market speaks English, Shona, and Ndebele. A platform that only served English speakers was leaving a significant share of potential buyers unable to engage comfortably.

What We Built

A full AI-powered property platform — not just a website. The core is a Claude-powered AI assistant that handles property enquiries in three languages around the clock, routing complex requests to the right agent automatically.

We wrapped this with an agent portal, an AI photo studio, automated social content generation, and an SEO agent that keeps their search presence fresh without requiring any manual effort.

Platform Features

Trilingual AI Property Assistant

Visitors can ask questions in English, Shona, or Ndebele and receive accurate, natural-language answers about listings, pricing, and availability — around the clock.

AI SEO Agent

A background agent monitors search trends and automatically generates and updates SEO-optimised property descriptions, meta tags, and blog content to drive organic traffic.

Automated Social Media — Three Languages

New listings trigger automatic social posts across Facebook and Instagram in all three languages, with AI-written captions tailored to each platform's tone.

AI Photo Studio

Cloudinary-powered AI processing enhances property photos, removes backgrounds, adds virtual staging, and generates gallery-ready images without a professional photographer.

Agent & Client Portal

A full-featured portal for estate agents to manage listings, handle enquiries, and communicate with buyers via threaded messaging — replacing scattered WhatsApp groups.
