Real Estate App Development

A focused first version — one user type, one core job — typically runs on real devices within 30 days, built for iOS and Android from one codebase, with a production release in 90. App store review usually adds a few days at launch, and more if the app handles payments or sensitive data.

Both, in most cases, from a single cross-platform codebase — your agents, tenants and clients will be on both. Fully native apps make sense when the app leans heavily on offline work, device hardware or demanding performance, and we will say so if that applies.

Yes, under your MLS agreements. The same display rules that govern listings on a website apply inside an app, including attribution and what fields can be shown, and each MLS sets its own. We establish those rules before designing the search experience.

It happens, usually for predictable reasons: features that feel incomplete, a login screen with no demo account for the reviewer, unclear privacy details, or payment flows that break store rules. We prepare every submission with those in mind, which is most of what separates a first-time approval from a rejection.

Not on general home search, and it is rarely worth trying. Real estate apps win by serving a niche, a region or a user the big portals under-serve — agents, renters of a particular kind, new-build buyers, landlords — and by doing something for them the portals do not.

Apple and Google release major operating system updates every year, and apps that are not maintained start to break. We provide ongoing support, monitoring and releases so the app keeps working, and so new features ship on a regular rhythm rather than in occasional large jumps.
