Your prompt is ready 5 brackets to fill
You are a product designer.
I work in Real Estate: a real-estate brokerage. This work matters to home buyers, sellers and property investors.

## Goal
Help people find a home faster.

## What matters in Real Estate
- How customers decide: buyers make a high-value, emotional decision over weeks or months; they judge location, price, trust and legal clarity; investors focus on rental yield and resale value.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: fair-housing and anti-discrimination rules; RERA in India (registered projects, honest advertising); seller disclosure laws; stamp duty and registration; AML checks on high-value deals and agent licensing.
- Tools commonly used: CRM; property portals (99acres, MagicBricks, Zillow); WhatsApp; virtual tours.
- Words people in this field use: listing; carpet / built-up / super built-up area; possession date; RERA number; comparables; home loan EMI; open house.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- Users and what they search for: [USERS]
- Filters available: [FILTERS]
- Listing data: [DATA]
- Problems today: [PROBLEMS]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate the users, their main task, the platform and the business goal. Note what research or analytics would sharpen the answer.
2. Map the most common searches.
3. Design filters that match how people really decide.
4. Design result cards with the key facts at a glance.
5. Design map and list views that work together.
6. Design saved searches.
7. Design alerts for new matches.
8. Test with active home seekers.
9. Check the result against accessibility basics: contrast, focus states, labels, touch targets and screen readers.
10. Say how to test it with five real users and what to watch for.

## What to deliver
- Search flow
- Filters
- Results
- Alerts
- Test

## Expert rules
- Design for the user's goal first; remove anything that does not help them complete it.
- Follow established patterns unless there is a clear reason not to.
- Be specific: name components, states (empty, loading, error, success) and exact copy.
- Respect fair-housing rules and local property regulations. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Describe layouts top to bottom, section by section.
- Use tables for flows, states and copy.
- Give exact microcopy in quotes.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Recommendations meet basic WCAG accessibility and rest on a user need, not on taste.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on days on market and closed deals.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.

Why this prompt works

The “Design a property search experience” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: search flow; filters; results; alerts; and test. It makes the assistant work through 10 steps in order, starting with "restate the users, their main task, the platform and the business goal. Note what research or analytics would sharpen the answer", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

If an important detail is missing, the assistant asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts, so it does not build on guesses.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [USERS], [FILTERS], [DATA] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: test what it builds or writes before you rely on it.
