How it works

From "where should we move?"
to "we found it."

Most people start with a question. Some start with a map. PickYourPlace works either way — and bridges between them so you never have to think about which tool to use.

An example

Sarah is moving from Toronto to Calgary.

She's never been. She has a four-year-old, a $700k budget, and two weeks before their flight. Here's how she narrows from "everywhere in Calgary" to a signed offer.

  1. Step 01·Ask

    Sarah opens Ask and types her situation.

    "We're moving from Toronto with a 4-year-old. Budget around $700k. Where should we look in Calgary?"

    She's never been to Calgary. She doesn't know the difference between Tuscany and Tuscany Springs, let alone what a quadrant means. So she just describes her life — and Ask handles the rest.

    What happens
    Ask returns 6 ranked neighborhoods, scored on safety, schools, and family fit.
  2. Step 02·Compare

    Ask offers an action card. She taps it.

    "Compare top 3"

    Sarah doesn't have to know which tool to open. Ask routes her to Compare with all three neighborhoods pre-loaded — no manual setup, no second-guessing.

    What happens
    Compare opens with Midnapore, Signal Hill, and Glenbrook side-by-side.
  3. Step 03·Ask

    She narrows to two and asks a follow-up.

    "Which has better schools for kindergarten?"

    Compare is open. She types into Ask without leaving the page — the conversation knows what she's comparing, so no re-explaining. Ask answers, then offers another action card.

    What happens
    Ask: "Glenbrook has 3 elementary schools within 1km, all rated 8+. Want the full report?"
  4. Step 04·Analyze

    She generates a full report on Glenbrook.

    "Analyze Glenbrook"

    Analyze opens with school data front-and-centre because Sarah's profile says she has a kid. The report is personalized — not generic.

    What happens
    47-page report covering value, safety, accessibility, demographics, and climate risk.
  5. Step 05·Explore

    She bookmarks 3 properties and shares with her partner.

    "Save to shortlist"

    On her phone, walking to lunch, she opens Explore and pins three Glenbrook listings she likes. Sends the shortlist to her partner. They book a flight.

    What happens
    Three properties saved. Sight-unseen offer made two weeks later.

Open Ask
Two ways in

Most people just ask. Some prefer to drive.

Both work. The tools talk to each other either way, so you can switch tracks without losing context.

Track 1

Start with Ask.

Type your situation. Ask returns answers, recommendations, and inline action cards that route you to the right tool when chat isn't the format. Most users never have to think about which tool to open.

Best when
  • You don't know where to start
  • You're new to the city
  • You want to explore options before committing
Track 2

Drive the tools.

Pick a tool — Explore, Analyze, Compare — and drill in directly. Open Ask any time you want a quick answer or a second opinion. Familiar territory if you use spreadsheets or analytics tools daily.

Best when
  • You know what you're looking for
  • You're comparing a short list
  • You're an agent or doing this for clients
The tools

What's available, when you need it.

Four surfaces, one shared dataset. They talk to each other.

The conversational front door. Ask anything about a neighborhood, property, or your situation — and Ask routes you to the other tools when chat isn't the right format.
