The challenge
Why most real estate websites lose leads to Zillow.
IDX feeds that lag behind the MLS by hours
When your website shows listings that sold yesterday or misses new properties for hours, buyers learn they can't trust your data. They go back to Zillow. Real-time RETS/RESO Web API integration with 15-minute sync intervals keeps your inventory fresh and gives buyers a reason to search on your site instead.
Property search that frustrates instead of filters
Most IDX plugins offer basic dropdown filters that return hundreds of irrelevant results. Buyers want map-based search, polygon drawing, school district overlays, and saved search alerts. When your search experience is worse than Zillow's, your website becomes a lead generation dead end.
No virtual tour or media-rich listing experience
Buyers expect 3D walkthroughs, video tours, and high-resolution photo galleries with floor plan overlays. Listings with only six compressed photos and no virtual tour get skipped. Your website needs to present each property as a rich, immersive experience that makes buyers want to schedule a showing.
Agent pages without lead routing or CRM connection
Your agents have profile pages, but inquiries go to a generic inbox that someone triages manually. By the time the right agent responds, the lead has contacted three other brokerages. Automated lead routing based on listing, geography, or specialization ensures the right agent responds within minutes.
Our approach
Real estate platforms built to outperform portals.
We build custom real estate websites with real-time MLS data, advanced map search, virtual tour integration, and automated lead routing — giving your brokerage a competitive digital experience that rivals national portals.
01
Real-time IDX/MLS integration
We connect to your MLS through RETS or RESO Web API with sync intervals as low as 15 minutes. Listing data is normalized, indexed for fast search, and rendered as static pages for SEO. New listings generate automatic alerts for registered buyers with matching saved searches.
02
Advanced map-based property search
We build interactive map search with polygon drawing, neighborhood boundaries, school district overlays, and real-time filtering by price, beds, baths, and dozens of custom criteria. Results load progressively as users pan and zoom, keeping the experience fast even across large inventories.
03
Virtual tour & media integration
We embed Matterport 3D tours, video walkthroughs, and high-resolution photo galleries with lightbox zoom and floor plan overlays. Each listing page loads the hero image instantly with lazy-loaded media below, maintaining fast Core Web Vitals scores while delivering a rich visual experience.
04
Agent CMS & automated lead routing
We build an agent management system where each agent updates their profile, specializations, and testimonials. Inquiry forms on listing pages route to the listing agent automatically, while general inquiries are distributed by round-robin or geographic rules. CRM integration with Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, or BoomTown ensures instant follow-up.

Web Development for Real Estate — common questions
We integrate with any MLS that supports RETS or the RESO Web API standard — which covers the vast majority of MLSs in the US and Canada. We handle data normalization, media download, and incremental sync. For brokerages in multiple markets, we can aggregate listings from several MLS feeds into a single unified search experience.
We index listing data in a search engine like Elasticsearch or Meilisearch that returns filtered results in under 50ms. Map tiles load progressively, and listing cards render from pre-built data snapshots. Even inventories with 50K+ listings feel instant because the search infrastructure is purpose-built for real estate queries.
Yes. Registered users save search criteria and receive email or SMS alerts when new listings match. Alert frequency is configurable — instant, daily digest, or weekly. Each alert links directly to the listing page on your site, driving repeat traffic and keeping buyers engaged with your platform instead of a portal.
We build multi-office architectures with office-specific landing pages, agent rosters filtered by location, and lead routing rules that respect office territories. Each office can have its own branding variant while sharing the global listing search. Admin roles control what each office manager can edit.
A brokerage site with MLS integration, map search, listing pages, agent profiles, and lead capture takes 10 to 14 weeks. Adding virtual tour integration, saved search alerts, and CRM connection extends the timeline to 14 to 18 weeks. We deliver the listing search experience first so you can start capturing leads while advanced features are built.
