Posted 6 days ago

Summary

I need a detail-oriented internet researcher to build a visual catalogue of real estate MARKET REPORT GRAPHICS from around the world: the charts, infographics, and statistical images published by the real estate industry. We're a Canadian real estate marketing company building a design knowledge base for a data visualization product. WHAT YOU'LL RESEARCH: - Major franchise brands (e.g. RE/MAX, Century 21, eXp, Real, Royal LePage), national and regional offices - Real estate boards and associations (their published statistics packages and graphics) - Individual agents and offices who hire designers for custom market updates - Newspapers and magazines with real estate statistics sections - Starting with US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK, then expanding to other countries and languages WHAT WE CARE ABOUT: the design and visualization, plus which data points each graphic shows (prices, days on market, inventory, anything unusual). 90% of what you find will look the same. We're hunting the rare 10%: the designer or agent somewhere who laid out market data in a way nobody else thought of. WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM ME: - Reference examples at kickoff showing exactly what "interesting" means to us - Targeted instructions and links before each phase - Fast review turnaround between phases DELIVERABLES (each phase): - Saved images with numbered filenames - A spreadsheet row per image: number, source URL, publisher name, publisher type (franchise / board / agent / media), country, data points shown, and a short note, especially anything that made you stop and look twice - A brief written summary of patterns and standouts you noticed WHO YOU ARE: - Genuinely interested in deep, extensive internet research, and organized about it (systematic saving, consistent file naming) - Analytical: you notice patterns and connect dots, not just click and save - Clear, concise written English for notes and summaries - Reliable within a fixed scope and deadline HOW WE'LL WORK: - Phased project: you complete Phase 1 and deliver. We review and send instructions for the next phase. - 4-5 phases total over roughly one week, with a clearly defined end. - Payment structured in milestones, one per phase. Fixed total budget for all phases. - We're paying for YOUR eyes and judgment: manual digging, screenshots, and observations a casual search would miss. - Please confirm your availability this week and turnaround time for Phase 1. TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE: 1. ONE real estate market report graphic you found online right now: paste the link and 2-3 sentences on what works or doesn't work about its design 2. A short description of a research rabbit hole you genuinely enjoyed going down (any topic) 3. Confirmation you can start this week Start your proposal with the word "Benchmark" so I know you read the full posting.
