“The task was to create a fast-loading and user-friendly SaaS for real estate. The SaaS needed to include features allowing users to view the real estate property and communicate with the homeowners.
Codica carefully approached the SaaS platform development and implemented the needed functionality. We put maximum effort and technical knowledge into achieving the goals set in the specification.”

Background
As part of their activities, the company needed to create a property search website displaying real estate listings. The entity offers the services of making 3D tours that accompany property listings. So, it was necessary to include 3D tours along with the real estate SaaS functionality. This way, the visitor can get a realistic impression of the property.
Our goal was to create a multi-page custom SaaS platform for real estate that displayed listings from homeowners. The platform needed to be fast-loading, responsive, and intuitive, with the possibility to add images and 3D tours.
Business challenges
- Develop a responsive and intuitive real estate portal that handles various data about the property.
- Create two versions of the portal in English and Hebrew languages.
- Include the possibility of adding and showing images and 3D tours around the property.
- Build and implement functionality for admin and user account management of the portal.
- Deliver a fast-loading online real estate platform that performs equally well on all types of devices.
Value delivered
- Codica created a real estate SaaS that presents property with different details in various locations and within a certain price range. The website helps to place and find real estate property with the given parameters, such as property type, number of bedrooms, and location.
- Our team added the feature of 3D tours that enable you to see the apartment or home on the SaaS-based platform before going onsite.
- We included helpful forms for homeowners, agents, and tenants that allow easy communication. After looking through the property description, users can submit their questions to the homeowner.
- Developers introduced the JAMstack approach, including the Gatsby technology, which helped us deliver a responsive, fast-loading, and intuitive SaaS for real estate. These technologies were especially valuable as the platform needed to handle much data.
- The SaaS solution for real estate loads smoothly on desktop and mobile devices, delivering the best user experience.

Solution delivered
A fast-loading platform for all types of devices
We delivered a platform with prompt loading of pages. Thanks to our approach, the real estate portal presenting many property listings with images and 3D models works seamlessly. So, users can easily access many pages on the portal from devices of any type.
Versatile user account management
A user can view and change the details of their accounts and listings. We created a step-by-step form that allows listing a property. You can enter all the needed information on the SaaS-based platform, such as property type, size, number of rooms, amenities, selling price, and dates. Also, you can add photos and 3D tours to present your property fully.
3D tour presenting the property in detail
This feature enhances the user experience with the real estate SaaS, letting them see the whole property on the screen. This allows you to get the first impression and have a detailed look at the property without going on site. 3D tours save users time by being accessible 24/7 through various platforms.
Intuitive page showing the property details
We included the pages with all details that are relevant to the property. For example, you can view the price and other fees needed to buy the property on the real estate SaaS platform. Also, we included the display of amenities accompanied by minimalistic icons.
Map integration revealing the neighborhood
Integration with maps allows seeing the property neighborhood. Hovering on a location on the map, you can highlight the relevant property and go to the property page. If a user has questions on the property, they can submit them in a form and send them to a homeowner.
Swift search displaying the needed property
We delivered the search system that brings up the available property by location. We integrated the map search showing the property locations. You can see the property address and price when hovering on the location point.
Simple switch between English and Hebrew versions
The custom SaaS platform for real estate presents its features and property listings in English and Hebrew. We successfully implemented right-to-left and left-to-right writing. Also, we adapted both language versions for mobile devices.
How it works
The SaaS platform offers a convenient viewing of the listed real estate. As a homeowner or an agent, you can enter the necessary details and, thus, list the property. You can add 3D tours that show your home or apartment in detail. As a tenant, you can view the property and contact the owner or agent for details. The custom real estate SaaS platform is adapted both for desktop and mobile devices.
“When the client turned to us asking to develop the platform, we were excited to solve the problem. We applied the Gatsby technology for the SaaS platform development. It helped us create a portal that loads fast despite the many elements it handles.
Our team made the interface that is easy to use and provides all the necessary information to get an impression of the property listed. We enjoyed working on the project as it brought us new experience and knowledge that we can apply in the future.”

“We introduced the JAMstack technology group to organize the solution architecture. This approach enabled us to deliver a flexible, scalable, and secure solution that is easy to update, patch, and maintain.
