Real estate app design for brokers, developers and proptech founders
I'm Maniruzzaman Jubayer, and real estate app design is work my team and I do end to end: property search apps, agency and developer websites, and the dashboards agents and managers run the business on. I plan every listing around what a buyer checks first, what the regulator wants on the ad, and how the enquiry reaches the right person. Then we design it in Figma and build it in production code.

04 problems
The problems property teams bring me
Four I hear in almost every first call with a broker, a developer or a proptech founder, and what I do about each.
Problem 1: Every listing looks like every other listing
Same photo grid, same price badge, same contact button as the portals, so your own site gives a buyer no reason to stay. I start from the questions a buyer asks in order (where is it, what does it cost, can I trust it, who do I talk to) and design the card and the page to answer them faster than a portal does.
Problem 2: Leads go missing between the portal and the agent
An enquiry lands in a shared inbox, a WhatsApp tap leaves no record, and nobody knows which listing or campaign it came from. I design the enquiry as a flow, not a form: the listing, the source and the consent travel with the lead into the agent's view, so follow-up starts with context. My landing page conversion guide covers how I measure it.
Problem 3: Buyers who read Arabic and buyers who read English
In the Gulf one listing has two audiences, and the Arabic page is often a late translation with broken numbers and a missing permit block. My team designs both reading directions in the same sprint, with prices, permit numbers and phone numbers kept left to right inside Arabic text, so neither version lags the other.
Problem 4: The regulator reads your ads too
Permit numbers, verification QR codes, broker details, material information, fair housing wording: each market asks for something on the ad, and a missing field can take a listing down. I write those fields into the scope before design starts, so the publish button knows the rules and nobody finds them in launch week.

Start a projectWhat I design and build for real estate
The six kinds of property product my team works on, from the buyer's phone to the manager's desk.
Property search apps
Map and list search, filters that don't overwhelm a first-time buyer, saved homes, alerts and a listing page that ends in one clear way to get in touch. Designed for iOS and Android, and built in React Native or Flutter.
Agency and developer websites
Listing pages that rank and convert, project pages for developers, agent profiles and a CMS where every listing carries its permit record. See website design for how I run these projects.
Operations and CRM dashboards
One view of properties, agents, customers and revenue, so a manager stops switching between three tools. Emura, one dashboard for a real estate operation, is the kind of platform I mean.
AI property advisors
Matching, comparison and recommendations that show their reasons, because a buyer won't act on a score they can't understand. My team designed Lyvio, website and product screens for an AI property advisor in the UAE market.
Project launch landing pages
Pages for an off-plan launch or a paid campaign, with one action, the project's proof beside it and a slot planned for the permit. Homelo, a landing page for a real estate company, shows the structure.
Property law and conveyancing sites
Firms that handle leases, disputes and transfers need practice areas that read plainly and a quick way to get in touch. My team designed JurisLex, a website for a real estate law firm.
Property advertising rules I design listings around
Each card names the rule, what it changes on screen and the official page it comes from (all read on 14 October 2026). This is design guidance, not legal advice: your broker licence holder or legal adviser approves the final wording.
Dubai: Trakheesi permits and the Madmoun QR code
Dubai Land Department, Madmoun service to verify real estate ads via QR codes (18 April 2023)Dubai Land Department issues a Madmoun QR code for every advertising permit through the Trakheesi system, and since 24 April 2023 companies are expected to put it on their ads so buyers can check the ad is approved by RERA. On screen I put the permit number and a tappable QR beside the price, rendered from the permit's own validation link. My Dubai real estate website guide has the full spec.
Abu Dhabi: Madhmoun listings and the three-broker limit
Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC), FAQs: MadhmounADREC describes Madhmoun as the first government multiple listing service in the GCC: only verified properties are listed, and advertising is limited to at most three approved brokers per property. In the CMS that means a permit field on every Abu Dhabi listing and a broker picker that stops at three.
Saudi Arabia: REGA advertisement licences
Real Estate General Authority (REGA), Real Estate Advertisement License Inquiry Service (16 May 2024)Since May 2024 REGA's Real Estate Advertisement License Inquiry Service lets brokers, owners and buyers check whether a property ad is valid, using the licence number, the brokerage contract number or the ownership document. I store the licence number with each Saudi listing and show it as text a buyer can copy into that service.
UK: material information on the listing
National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agency Team, Material information in property listings: Part A (July 2022)National Trading Standards treats the price or rent, the council tax band and, for sales, the tenure as material for every property, with ground rent, service charge and lease length for leaseholds. Portals flag a listing when those fields are empty. I make them required fields in the listing template, shown on the card or the page, not in a PDF.
US: Fair Housing Act advertising
eCFR, 24 CFR 100.75 Discriminatory advertisements, statements and noticesUnder 24 CFR 100.75 it is unlawful to publish a housing ad that indicates a preference or limitation because of race, colour, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin, and that includes photos, symbols and the choice of where ads run. So I check filter labels, lifestyle tags and any AI matching for wording or targeting that steers groups of buyers away.
UAE: consent on lead forms
UAE Government portal (u.ae), Data protection laws: Personal Data Protection LawThe UAE's Personal Data Protection Law, Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, in force since 2 January 2022, bars processing personal data without consent outside listed cases, and gives people the right to correct their data and to restrict or stop its processing. On enquiry forms I keep a separate, unticked marketing box, log what each person agreed to, and make withdrawing as easy as agreeing.
How I run a real estate project
The same four steps on every project, with the checks a property product needs built into them.
- 01
Free 30 minute intro call
We talk through your listings, who buys them, which markets they sell in and which regulator reads your ads. I ask where leads come from today and where they get lost. No slides, just an honest view of whether I can help.
- 02
Written scope and one fixed quote
The scope names every flow, the languages, the permit or licence fields per market, and the feeds to your CRM or the portals. You get one fixed quote for the whole project, with no retainer and nothing billed by the hour.
- 03
Weekly design sprints in Figma
Listing card first, then search, the listing page, the enquiry flow and the agent side. You get a written update in Slack every 48 hours and a review call each week, with Arabic and English drawn side by side where you need both.
- 04
Rules check, handoff and build
Before handoff I walk each market's listing flow against its rules with your compliance lead or legal adviser. Then a documented design system goes to your developers, or my team builds the front end in React and Next.js, or the app in React Native or Flutter.
What you get from a real estate project
Everything a property team needs to launch listings that buyers trust and agents can work from.
Search and map flows
List and map views that stay in sync, filters in the order buyers think, saved searches and alerts, on phone and desktop.
Listing cards and pages
Every state, from new to reduced to sold, with a regulatory block for the permit, licence or material information each market asks for.
Enquiry and viewing flows
Short forms, WhatsApp and call options that still record the lead, viewing requests, and consent that is separate and provable.
Agent and manager screens
Lead inboxes, listing status, permit expiry and the numbers a manager checks first, designed as one dashboard rather than three tools.
A bilingual design system
Components and tokens named the same in Figma and in code, with Arabic and English type, spacing and right to left rules set once.
The listing data model
A written spec for the permit or licence record, the publish check, expiry and the portal feeds, so developers build the rules, not guess them.
Developer handoff, or the build
Annotated flows and a walkthrough with your engineers, or the product built by my team. See development.
Services for real estate teams
Most property projects need two or three of these together.

Real estate app design: questions brokers and founders ask
Straight answers to what property teams ask before they start.
How much does real estate app design cost?
It depends on the platforms (iOS, Android, web), the user roles (buyer, agent, manager), map search, the number of languages, any AI matching, and the integrations: a CRM, portal feeds or a regulator's API. After a free 30 minute intro call I write a scope and give you one fixed quote for the whole project, so you know the cost before you commit. There's no retainer. My app design cost guide explains what moves the number.
What features should a real estate app have?
For buyers: map and list search, filters in the order people think, saved homes and alerts, a listing page with photos, price, size and the permit or licence details your market requires, and one clear way to enquire or book a viewing. For agents: a lead inbox that shows which listing and campaign each lead came from. I'd ship those well before adding chat, tours or AI.
How long does it take to design a real estate website?
It depends on the page types and languages. A focused landing page can take a few weeks: on Homelo, research took one week, design two, testing one and the presentation one. A listing site with search, a CMS and two languages takes longer. The written scope after our intro call sets the timeline page by page.
Can you design a property website in Arabic and English?
Yes. My team designs both reading directions in the same sprint, with Arabic type, spacing and mirroring rules in the design system, and prices, permit numbers and phone numbers kept left to right inside Arabic text. The permit block and QR code appear on both versions. My page on website design in Dubai shows how that works in one market.
Do you only design, or do you build the app too?
Both. I design the product and stay with it into production. My team builds websites and web apps in TypeScript, React and Next.js, and iOS and Android apps in React Native or Flutter, working from the same documented design system. If you have developers, you can take the design system and handoff to them instead, and I stay on hand while they build.
Can you connect our listings to our CRM or the property portals?
I design the listing data around one permit or licence record that the website, the app and the portal feeds all read from, so an expired listing comes down everywhere at once. My team builds the front end and the integration where your CRM, the portal or the regulator offers an API. The scope says exactly which feeds are included before work starts.
Do you work with real estate companies outside the UAE?
Yes. I work remotely from Dhaka with teams in the Gulf, Europe, the US and Asia, and the rules change by market: REGA advertisement licences in Saudi Arabia, material information in the UK, Fair Housing advertising rules in the US. I map the rules for your markets in the scope. To start, book a free 30 minute intro call.
