Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate, highly-rated local estate agency in Birmingham, UK, led by Asif Kola. External search confirms the business has excellent reputation and awards (e.g., 'Best Real Estate Agent in Birmingham'). However, the PoU submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims (audience reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and missing critical data. While the service has real-world utility as a bespoke agency, it lacks the technical innovation, scale, or broad impact required for a high score. The project is a standard service business rather than a technology innovator.

Project Details

Description
Faith Can Move Mountains. Thank you for looking me up. I’ll get straight to the point. If your reasons for choosing an agent are based on competence, rest assured, I’m as competent as the ‘best’. But, it’s not enough! Most vendors don’t have all the facts when they choose any agent. They hope it will be the right decision, but they need reassurance – that the agent they choose can be trusted. They need transparency. Transparency that is often in short supply. So, this is Who I am and this is what matters most to me. Family – without their love and support, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. Faith – Religion is at the forefront of my mission. I embrace faith and trust that we are here to serve and protect one another. Loyalty – to those I work with and to those I am privileged to call clients. Compassion – helping those who can’t help themselves and people from all walks of life who are simply in need of some kindness. Responsibility – as in care, protection, duty and guidance. It’s a core tenet of my faith and one which I try to practice constantly. I’m an estate agent who believes in being different; one that I believe vendors/landlords can trust. Faith can move mountains. Faith will better help you move home. I’d love to help. Asif Kola. A Different Name in Estate Agency.
