Our work transforming the critical platform relied on by hundreds of real estate professionals, highlights how the right technology can revolutionize property research.
Let’s explore how we tackled the challenges, and delivered solutions, and how we can do the same for your organization.
Project Description
This was a WordPress website enhancement project for a real estate parcel search platform.
The main objectives were to improve site performance, fix membership level issues, integrate a new ESRI map replacing Google Maps, implement mobile optimization, and resolve various technical issues.
The project involved working with third-party APIs (CoreLogic), custom plugins, and membership management through Restrict Content Pro (RCP).
Understanding the Challenges Real Estate Professionals Face
Imagine this:
You’re a land investor who’s just received a tip about a promising property.
You need to quickly research parcel data, ownership history, and zoning information.
But your research platform is sluggish, taking minutes instead of seconds to load critical information.
Every delay means another investor could beat you to the opportunity.
This was the reality the website users were facing. The platform, essential for property research, was struggling to keep up with the demands of modern real estate professionals:
- Slow Searches: Property data took too long to load, delaying crucial decisions.
- System Downtime: Peak usage often caused timeouts, leaving users frustrated.
- Outdated Tech: Legacy systems created bottlenecks and compatibility issues.
- User Frustration: Professionals couldn’t rely on the platform during critical moments.
The platform needed a transformation, and we took on the challenge of delivering results.
