Property search, 3D visualisation, listing management and transaction tooling. Real estate software lives or dies on listing data that is current and search that returns the right property in under a second. That is where most of the engineering actually goes.
Map, filter and saved-search portals for buyers and renters
Configurators, virtual tours and in-place AR previews
Agent and brokerage back office for inventory and media
Offers, disclosures and e-signature workflows
Rent, maintenance requests and document access
Mortgage, affordability and comp calculators
Photo, floor-plan and video ingestion at listing scale
Schools, transit and points-of-interest overlays
Sync cadence and conflict handling so a sold property is never live
Geospatial indexing that stays fast as inventory grows
Responsive, lazy-loaded media: listing galleries are the page weight
Model budgets that hold framerate on a mid-range phone
Search and ad targeting reviewed against fair-housing constraints
Display, attribution and refresh terms each feed imposes
Agents lose signal inside buildings. The app should not
Audit trails on anything a party signs
Ranges, not quotes. Scope, integrations and compliance work move these, so the number we give you after a discovery call is the one that means something.
A search-focused MVP on a single feed runs $50,000-$95,000. A full platform with an agent back office, CRM routing and both mobile apps runs $95,000-$180,000. Adding a 3D configurator, AR, or multi-brokerage tenancy moves it to $180,000-$300,000+. The listing feed and the number of integrations drive the range more than screen count does.
Yes, through RETS or the newer RESO Web API, and through IDX feeds where a brokerage has one. Access is granted by the individual MLS to a licensed participant, so we work against your credentials and build to that MLS's display, attribution and refresh rules. Those differ by market and they are contractual, not optional.
Scheduled incremental syncs against the feed's change log rather than full re-imports, with conflict handling for records updated in both systems and alerting when a feed goes stale. The requirement that actually shapes the design is that a sold or withdrawn property must disappear quickly: most MLS agreements set a maximum refresh interval.
Yes. That ranges from embedding Matterport tours to custom real-time 3D, as we built for Pergola Cave. The engineering constraint on custom 3D is the mobile device: model complexity, texture size and draw calls have to fit a budget that holds framerate on a mid-range phone, which is a design decision made early, not a late optimisation.
Four to five months for a search MVP, six to nine for a full platform, nine to fourteen for enterprise or heavy 3D work. Feed access is the usual scheduling risk: MLS approval can take weeks and is outside our control, so we start that paperwork during discovery rather than at integration time.
