How to make an app for a real estate agent
A property dealer's work is matching: an owner in Wakad wants to rent a 2 BHK, a family wants one under ₹25,000 by next month. An app for your office keeps every property, every seeker's needs and every site visit in one list, so you find the match while you are on the phone.

Who uses the app
Usually the agent and one or two field staff who show properties. If they add properties and visits from their own phones, connect your own Supabase database so the office sees the same list. A customer-facing property list also needs that database.
The screens a real estate agent app needs
- Properties: Every property for sale or rent with locality, type, size, floor, price or rent, furnishing, owner and status
- Requirements: Buyers and tenants with budget, size, localities wanted, move-in date and family or bachelor
- Matches: For a seeker, the properties that fit their budget, size and area; for a property, the seekers who fit
- Site visits: Visits by date with the property, the seeker, who showed it and the feedback
- Owners: Each owner's properties, terms, key arrangement and contact
- Deals: Closed deals with the rent or price, agreement date, brokerage due from each side and what is received
Features worth asking for
- Search and filters by locality, budget, BHK and rent or sale
- A property sheet PDF with photos and details to share on WhatsApp
- A WhatsApp button that sends a seeker a visit time and the Google Maps link
- A list of seekers whose move-in date is close
- Brokerage due from owners and tenants, and what has been received
- A list of rentals whose agreement ends soon, so you can call the owner, shown when you open it
- Hide a property's exact address from field staff if you choose
Where the data lives
If only you use the app, the data can stay on your phone. If field staff add properties and visits from their own phones, or you want a property list for customers, connect your own Supabase database from the chat with sign-in.
How to make it with AppCub, step by step
- Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Properties, Requirements, Matches, Site visits, Owners.
- Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
- Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
- Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
- Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.
Copy this request, change the details to match your real estate agent, and paste it into AppCub:
Make an app for my property dealing office, Patil Property Point in Wakad, Pune. Screens: properties, requirements, matches, site visits, owners and deals. A property has rent or sale, locality, BHK, carpet area, floor, furnishing, price or rent, owner, photos and status. A requirement has budget, BHK, localities, move-in date and family or bachelor. Matches show properties that fit a requirement. Site visits have date, property, seeker and feedback. Deals track brokerage from both sides and agreement end dates. Make a property sheet PDF with photos to share. Add call and WhatsApp buttons. Green and white colours.
AppCub also has a page about a real estate app: see it here.
Tips for a real estate agent app
- Start with properties and requirements. Add matching, visits and deals once your list is in.
- Owners' phone numbers and addresses are private. Keep them out of anything you share with seekers, and use sign-in for staff.
- Use the same locality names your office already uses, so search and matching find what you expect.
- Mark properties rented or sold the same day, so field staff don't take seekers to a flat that's gone.
- Add twenty real properties and five seekers first and check that the matches make sense.
What it costs
- Describing your app and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
- A new app usually takes 60 to 110 credits. Start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits, enough for one app and a few changes) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499. Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
- Google Play needs a paid plan (it includes the Play Store bundle and your app’s signing key) and your own Google Play developer account, a one-time US$25 fee to Google.
- Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.
Good to know
- AppCub doesn't connect to property portals or pull listings from them, and doesn't send messages automatically. Properties are added by your team, and messages go out when someone taps WhatsApp.
- AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.
Questions
Can the app match tenants with the right flats?
Yes. Ask for matching by budget, BHK and locality, and the app lists the properties that fit a seeker, or the seekers who fit a property.
Can I share a property with a client from the app?
Yes. The app makes a property sheet PDF with photos and details that you share on WhatsApp from your phone. A plain WhatsApp message link can't carry photos by itself.
Can my field staff add new properties from the site?
Yes, if the app uses your Supabase database. They add the details and attach photos, and the office sees the property on its list.
Can customers browse my properties in an app?
Yes. A customer app can list properties with search and a WhatsApp button to ask about one. It needs your Supabase database, and you choose which details are shown.
Can the app keep track of my brokerage?
Yes. Each deal can record the brokerage due from the owner and the tenant or buyer, and a list shows what is still to be received.
Can properties from portals come into the app automatically?
No. AppCub doesn't connect to property portals. Your team adds properties, noting where each one came from.
