Real Estate Industry Challenges We Solve
We understand the unique demands of the real estate and property technology sector and build solutions that address them head-on. With a market size of $32B in global PropTech investment, thereal estate sector demands technology partners who truly understand the industry.
MLS Integration & Property Listings
Real estate platforms must integrate with hundreds of MLS systems across the US, each with different data formats, update frequencies, and access requirements. RETS/RESO Web API standards help but implementations vary widely, requiring robust data normalization and sync strategies.
Virtual Tour & 3D Visualization
Post-pandemic buyers expect immersive property experiences: 3D virtual tours, interactive floor plans, drone footage, and AR-powered furniture staging. These features require sophisticated media handling, WebGL rendering, and mobile-optimized delivery.
Lead Management & CRM Systems
Real estate is a relationship business. Agents need CRM systems that track leads across long buying cycles (average 4-6 months), automate follow-ups, score leads by engagement, and integrate with marketing automation — all while being simple enough for non-technical agents.
Property Management Automation
Property managers handling hundreds of units need software for tenant screening, lease management, maintenance tracking, rent collection, and financial reporting. Multi-property, multi-owner accounting adds significant complexity.
