To make sure that properties you visit hold no surprises, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg is launching Myvisit, a real digital checklist for prospective buyers. From roofing to plumbing, wiring and insulation: Myvisit lists everything to consider during a visit. When they create a profile, users can save the description of each property visited, insert pictures and comments, receive insights, generate a report and enter scores, making it easier to compare homes and reach a decision. And they can easily share each project. The service is completely free. To discover Myvisit, go to <a href="https://www.bil.com/static/myvisit/en/index.html" target="_blank">myvisit.lu</a>.</p>
<p>Mike Schwörer, Head of Housing Advisory at Banque Internationale à Luxembourg, commented: “<i>Financing, location and property: for such a big endeavour, buyers should leave nothing to chance. At BIL, we help future buyers throughout the process. Visiting a property can be stressful for anyone who isn’t in the construction industry. Myvisit is the perfect digital resource to make sure you don’t forget anything. You just need to take your smartphone or table, and that’s it!</i>”.</p>
<p>To develop Myvisit, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg relied on the expertise of Konkretly. Founded by researchers and entrepreneurs, with its digital checklist Konkretly helps buyers through the decision-making process during their visits. Present on the German market since spring 2021, Konkretly quickly established itself as the leading digital app for visiting properties.</p>
<p>Zoltan Horvath, co-founder of Konkretly, added: “<i>Konkretly developed the digital tool behind Myvisit based on a year of international benchmarking and close cooperation with real estate experts. We wanted to make buying a home less stressful for everyone, by giving them access to these insights, effortless organization, and easy sharing of property information.</i>”</p>
