Dado was created to radically improve the home buying process. Our iOS app (coming soon in Android) helps simplify the home search process by allowing buyers to pull in and view important information on the homes they have decided to visit with their agent. While buyers tour the homes over days or weeks, they can snap their own pictures to remember certain features, take notes on the home within the app, and rate the many features of the home such as location, value for money, condition, and room attributes. As consumers move from home to home and week to week of searching, DADO eliminates all the MLS listing sheets and the hand note taking, keeping all the information secure and easily organized. DADO also allows spouses and their agent to share their pictures and compare their ratings with each other and other family and friends. Through the tool, buyers can arrive at a better discussion on which homes they liked and why, ultimately leading to better data driven decision on where to make an offer and for how, much reducing the stress in a process that is full of emotion.
