The Opportunity

Problem

Real estate photography freelancers are frustrated with scheduling tools that fail to handle property access codes and last-minute changes, leading to missed shoots and inefficiencies.

Solution

PropSync creates a shared workspace for real estate agents and photographers to co-manage shoots, with live code updates and mutual availability views. Last-minute changes are proposed and approved collaboratively, reducing miscommunications. Built for seamless teamwork without switching apps.
