The Client
Our client is a well-known multiple listing service in the United States, helping users discover properties listed for sale across different states. Their platform had evolved into a popular real estate marketplace serving a growing base of property seekers.
The Challenges
A Growing Platform Held Back by Legacy Technology
The client needed to modernize its property listing experience while maintaining existing functionality and handling increasing traffic.
Outdated Technology Slowed Platform Growth
The existing services were built using older technologies and outdated infrastructure, making the platform difficult to scale and limiting the team's ability to introduce new features efficiently.
Complex Property Search Created Friction
Users needed more precise ways to discover properties. The existing experience lacked the advanced filters and cross-property search capabilities needed to quickly narrow down relevant listings.
Growing Backlog With Limited Internal Capacity
The client's in-house team was already working at full capacity. Building and shipping the growing list of features required additional engineering expertise without slowing ongoing development.
Limited Property Insights Reduced Engagement
Users needed clearer access to property details, public records, analytics, and owner information. The platform required richer data presentation to make property discovery more useful.

FAQs
The team used a progressive modernization approach, building new capabilities with newer Angular versions while continuing to support services running on older technologies. This let the platform evolve without a full rewrite.
The team separated newer feature development from legacy services, allowing new capabilities to be built on more efficient technologies while preserving existing functionality. This created a path for incremental scaling rather than a disruptive platform rebuild.
The platform combined granular property filters, cross-property search, public records, maps, listing details, and property-specific information into the user journey. This reduced the effort required to find and compare relevant properties.
The team worked with the client's roadmap and user stories to organize development into two-week sprints. This let the team deliver high-priority capabilities incrementally while keeping the broader modernization effort moving forward.
An extended team adds engineering capacity without the time and overhead of building an entirely new in-house team. In this engagement, five engineers worked directly with the client's CTO and existing team to accelerate product development.
