The route() helper method is used to generate a URL to a named route. In 
your case, it's looking for a route called "properties". Do you have 
that defined in your routes/web.php file?

More information on creating named routes can be found in the Laravel 
documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/routing#named-routes
