Connect millions of property seekers with thousands of real estate professionals!

Real estate app development has driven the industry to a greater extent. Property search apps have the potential to replace traditional brokers and other agents. With the recent advancements in technology, particularly in augmented reality and virtual reality it becomes very important that if you are operating in a real estate business you should have a real estate app.

According to a study by the National Association of Realtors, 73% of home seekers use digital applications to search homes. So statistics already show the scope of real estate digital applications.

Why should you have your own real estate app?

Increasing Demand in Semi-Urban Cities

No doubt, the real estate market in the large cities is booming but the demand for homes in the semi-urban areas is on the rise especially in the last decade. The real estate market has risen in many cities and is expected to grow at a fast rate in the upcoming years.

Commercial & Residential Sector Growth

The pandemic has significantly influenced both the commercial and residential sectors. 

As companies resumed operations to address the backlog of work accumulated during the pandemic, there has been substantial growth in the commercial sector. 

Simultaneously, individuals have increasingly sought out residential areas, leading to growth in that sector as well.

People also started traveling to cities for better career opportunities. These people are constantly on the hunt for better home options at a fair price, and online rental property management applications are always there to assist them.

Must Have Features in Real Estate Apps

Login & Registration: The procedure of registration needs to be simple and minimalistic without any irrelevant questions. This should also include options to sign using their phone numbers, email address and social media accounts as well.

Property Profiles: This is very important from property seekers point of view to have enough information and photos for each property listed on the application to give a general concept of it.

Agents Listing: Not only for successful interaction but also for building trust it is very important to have agents listings in real estate apps that will include a brief description with a photo of the agent, the number of properties, the location and the sources of reliability.

Categories & Filters: Without this feature it will become very frustrating & time consuming to find a suitable property. Therefore, It is very important to have this feature so that users can filter based on numbers of parameters like ratings, price, location, and other relevant options. Advanced search will also help which is based on specific criteria.

Maps & Geolocation: Maps and Geolocation are extremely useful for individuals looking to rent or buy an apartment. With this feature users will be able to see surroundings and infrastructure on the maps.

Favorites List: Adding this feature will help home seekers to create a shortlist of the things they prefer and their preferences will be stored in their profile menu section and later on whenever they make their mind to buy or rent properly they can easily navigate their preferences.

Price Calculator: From an affordability point of view, the calculator feature will allow the home seekers to calculate the estimated price of the property. They can even calculate loan interest rates with multiple banks, and payback duration.

Calendar & Scheduling: Implementing calendar and scheduling features will make appointment booking very easy. Important note here is that this feature should be available to both agents and clients to give a more personalized and better experience.

Push Notifications: Push notification should be a standard feature in your Property finder app. This feature will be programmed to notify customers and agents of meeting time, price change, property update and other relevant & important features. This feature can also be merged with AI-powered notifications by studying user behavior and their preferences and then making personalized recommendations. This will increase user engagement.

User Review and Rating: Using this feature users can rate the property based on their personal experience. It will maintain transparency & trust among the users regarding property and agents.
