Property management and listing platforms.
Real estate technology covers property listing websites, agency management tools, and platforms connecting buyers, renters, and agents. This guide covers what a real estate platform typically needs and what it costs to build one.
Common Real Estate Platform Types
- Listing websites — showcasing an agency's properties with search, filtering, and inquiry forms.
- Marketplace platforms — connecting multiple agents/landlords with buyers or renters, often with built-in messaging and scheduling.
- Property management tools — for landlords and agencies managing rent collection, maintenance requests, and tenant communication.
