Getting Started with estateTT

What estateTT is, who it serves, and how the platform is organized.

What estateTT is

estateTT is a Caribbean real estate platform that connects buyers, renters, sellers, landlords, developers, agents, brokers, and property professionals — valuators, notaries, and lenders — in one shared workspace.

Instead of chasing documents and updates across phone calls, emails, and WhatsApp threads, estateTT keeps the whole transaction in one place: property search, document readiness, professional services, tours, offers, and closing preparation.

estateTT is not a lender, law firm, or financial advisor. We provide tools to organize and prepare your transaction. Licensed professionals make lending, legal, and valuation decisions.

How the platform is organized

The platform is built around role-based workspaces. When you create an account, you choose the role that matches what you're trying to do, and your dashboard, tools, and guides are shaped around that role:

Buying or browsing — Individual Buyer, Company Buyer
Renting — Individual Renter
Selling — Individual Seller, Company Seller
Managing rentals — Individual Landlord, Company Landlord
Developing — Individual Developer, Company Developer
Representing clients — Individual Agent, Independent Broker, Brokerage Firm (Broker Agent is the member seat inside a brokerage — it comes by invite, not at signup)
Professional services — Notary Public, Valuator, Service Provider
Lending — Bank and institutional roles (provisioned, not self-selectable — institutions start via the lender access request)

Each workspace has its own guide in this library — pick the one matching your role from the sidebar.

Which role do I pick?

The choice is about what you're doing, not who you are:

Buying a home for yourself → Individual Buyer. Acquiring as a firm with a team → Company Buyer (adds shared shortlists and role-based financial access)
Selling one property you own → Individual Seller. Running sales with a team → Company Seller
Renting out property you own → Individual Landlord. Managing a portfolio with staff → Company Landlord
Working alone under your own license → Individual Agent or Independent Broker. Working inside a brokerage firm → the firm adds you as a Broker Agent by invite. Running the firm → Brokerage Firm
Notary or Valuator → sign up for the individual practice; a firm workspace is added once the practice is set up

Pick wrong? A landlord selling a unit uses the Seller workspace; a renter who decides to buy uses the Buyer workspace — roles are workspaces, not identities, and some accounts carry more than one.

Your jurisdiction matters

estateTT is jurisdiction-aware. Your country sets the document requirements, professional workflows, and market context the platform uses. When you create an account, you confirm your country so the platform can show you the right rules, tools, and providers.

Tools like the mortgage calculator and document readiness assessment adapt to the market you're buying in — pricing conventions, local currency, and the document checklist lenders in that jurisdiction typically expect.

The core tools

Three free tools anchor the buyer workflow — all usable without an account:

Mortgage Calculator — estimate monthly payments, total interest, and payoff dates in your market's currency
Document Readiness Assessment — check which application documents lenders typically ask for and which items you still need
Property search — browse active listings; your view history is kept even before you sign up (saving favourites asks for an account)

When you create an account, your view history and readiness work carry into your dashboard so you can pick up where you left off — the readiness assessment even offers to restore your draft when you sign in.

Finding your way

Sidebar — every guide in this library, grouped by category
Search — find guides by role, workflow, or feature
Your dashboard — the workspace matching your account role; the Help icon in its header links back to this library

Start with the guide for your role. If you're not sure which role fits, browse the list — each guide opens with a plain description of who it's for.
