What We Build
Platform Options
**Cross-Platform (React Native)** - Build once for iOS and Android. Essential for real estate where you want maximum reach for buyers, sellers, and agents. Recommended for most real estate apps. **Native iOS (Swift)** - Premium experience for luxury real estate targeting high-end buyers who primarily use iPhones. Requires Android development for agent coverage. **Native Android (Kotlin)** - Optimized for Android-heavy markets or international real estate. Requires iOS development for complete buyer coverage. **Our Recommendation:** React Native for real estate apps. Buyers, sellers, and agents use both platforms. MLS integrations and property search work identically cross-platform, making React Native the cost-effective choice.
Tech Stack
**Frontend:** React Native with TypeScript for cross-platform real estate UI **Backend:** Node.js with Express for MLS sync, listings, and lead management **Database:** PostgreSQL with PostGIS for property data and location-based search **MLS Integration:** IDX/RETS or modern MLS APIs (Bridge Interactive, RESO Web API) for real-time listing sync **Maps:** Google Maps Platform or Mapbox for property locations, boundaries, and neighborhood exploration **Virtual Tours:** Matterport or Zillow 3D Home API integration for immersive property viewing **Document Signing:** DocuSign or HelloSign API for digital offer signatures and contracts **Push Notifications:** Firebase Cloud Messaging for new listing alerts and price change notifications **CRM Integration:** Salesforce, Follow Up Boss, or custom CRM for lead routing and management
Why Build Custom
**No-Code Limitations:** Real estate app builders offer basic MLS webview wrappers with poor UX, slow search, and limited customization. Custom apps deliver fast, branded experiences that convert leads. **MLS Integration Depth:** Sophisticated property search requires custom filters, advanced mapping, predictive search, and real-time sync that generic platforms don't provide. **Lead Generation Focus:** Custom apps let you design lead capture specifically for your market - the right filters, CTAs placed strategically, and follow-up workflows that match your brokerage process. **Full Ownership:** Own your real estate technology and client relationships. No monthly platform fees per agent. Control branding, features, and data without vendor limitations.
