How to Create an International Real Estate Portal?

Real estate websites play a major role in lead generation efforts of real estate brokerages and companies. Real estate portals are the cornerstone of the property industry in each country and provide lots of opportunities for Realtors and their clients. 

With real estate companies such as RE/MAX and Keller Williams expanding their coverage to different countries around the world, the need for building an international real estate portal is at an all-time high.

What Is A Real Estate Portal and What Features Are Required?

A real estate or property portal is an online platform often based on a domain site that provides all the necessary tools for agents to manage listings and buyers to search for properties. Given the role it plays here, it often requires a high level of security and solid technical foundation. Zillow, RightMove, Trulia, Zoopla and Realtor.ca are examples of property portals. 

An international real estate portal goes even further and requires extra features such as language and currency tools in addition to the ability to connect to multiple resources. Here is a list:

  • Language(s) tools
  • Ability to access to multiple APIs 
  • Ability to upload and manage listings
  • Strong and advanced Search functionality
  • Controlled sign up and membership 
  • Data feed integration 
  • And lots more
