Property Listings Marketplace

Agents publish listings with photo galleries; buyers search on a map with filters, save searches and send enquiries straight to the agent.

Overview

What it is

A property marketplace where agents manage listings and buyers search on a map. Saved searches send alerts, enquiries go straight to the agent, and viewings are scheduled in the platform.

The problem

Why it was needed

Listings lived on separate portals with slow, cluttered search, and enquiries got lost in email. The client wanted their own marketplace, with fast map search and a clear agent workflow.
