Nowadays people face many problems while searching for their dream home. The process takes weeks and sometimes even months of market research. In that reference, modern technologies enable the property search and have become extremely useful in our everyday life. Mobile app services facilitate and guide buyers when choosing the right home, as long as they are comfortable and easy to use, support useful features and user-friendly design.
Basic features of the mobile application for real estate search
The most important features a real estate app should have are described by customerthink.com below:
- User profile - sellers as well as buyers must receive registration quota, as well as login to the account. In this way both parties can view and keep track of their favorite ads, search history, selected properties etc.
- Functional login - users must be entitled to have a personal account in the application. There are three different ways to provide login options: logging through social media accounts such as Facebook etc.; logging through Google account and logging using phone number authorization. There is no obstacle providing all three options, experts say.
- User information - it is important to obtain all necessary information for all relevant users such as email address, residence, telephone number, name etc. This ensures connection between buyers and sellers.
Map and geolocation
There are sufficient opportunities for integration of third parties to help connect the geo coordinates of the listing with the mobile application. Customers will be able to access the property very easily through this feature. Using map search and geolocation enables clients to find neighboring properties. The geolocation function is connected to the user's GPS option.
List of properties
The property application should have as comprehensive database of properties as possible and detailed description accompanied by photographs, price range, number of rooms etc. The basic information should be visible on the main screen along with button for details aside.
Search functions and filters
It is very important for every user to be able to sort the search results by applying different filters. This saves a lot of time spent on irrelevant ads. A good example is the application for iOS and Android of the international property platform Domaza.org, on which, in addition to the standard filters for country, city, district etc., you can search for properties by metro station and current location.
The viewing function must be captivating
It is very important for the client to see the properties both inside and outside, so that he can narrow his preferences. If the mobile application is interactive, it will definitely help the user to make narrow assessments. A virtual reality function can also be applied, which will play a significant role in showing how the environment will be after the completion of a construction project, for example, such as roads, surrounding homes, landscapes etc. 3D layouts can also be present through AR and VR technologies, which will give more realistic idea to the buyers.
