About JAY Properties

The problem we started from

Every national portal is built around flats. You can filter by bedrooms and by budget, and that is about it. If you are looking for a showroom, the questions that decide whether a place works are different ones: how wide is the frontage, how wide is the road it faces, is it on the ground floor, is it a corner. For a shed it is the sanctioned power load and whether a truck can turn. For a plot it is the declared land classification.

None of that is searchable anywhere, so people fall back on phone calls and visits to rule out properties that a filter should have ruled out in a second.

What we do differently

• Category-aware search. The filters change with what you are looking for, because the facts that matter change with it.
• Every listing is reviewed by a person before it appears, and we say plainly what that review does and does not check.
• Declarations are labelled. If a lister says a unit suits a restaurant, it is shown as their statement, not as a fact we have verified.
• Stale listings are demoted. Listers confirm availability periodically; the ones who stop confirming stop ranking.

Where we are

Rajkot first, properly, before anywhere else. The platform is built so that opening a new city is a row in a table rather than a release, but breadth without depth is what we are trying to avoid.
