Eastern Peak is a real estate app development company working with property owners and brokerages, and with proptech startups building products for them. Our real estate mobile app development covers the whole product: design, native or cross-platform builds, the backend and admin panel, and the feeds and devices the app connects to.
Our real estate app development solutions are designed around how renters look for a home and how agents work away from the office. We build them for proptech startups launching a first product, and for property companies adding mobile apps to the way they already work.
Real Estate Apps We Build
Most products start with one of these apps and add the others once the first one is in use.
Renter and buyer apps
Map search with saved homes and alerts that fire the moment a match is listed. Applications and documents go through the app too, so a lead doesn’t drop off between seeing a listing and calling about it.
Self-guided tour apps
Renters book a slot and unlock the unit with their phone when they arrive, with no agent on site. Your leasing team sees each tour as it happens and follows up while the interest is fresh.
Resident apps
Lobby and apartment doors open from the phone, and guests get keys that expire. Rent payments and maintenance requests live in the same app, connected to your property management software.
Agent and broker apps
New leads reach the agent’s phone with their history attached, and listings get updated from the property instead of back at the office. Showings sync with the agent’s calendar.
Investor and owner apps
Owners check occupancy and cash flow for each property and download statements without emailing anyone. Investment platforms add investor onboarding and identity checks.
Smart access apps
Apps for smart locks and video intercoms, built together with the firmware when the hardware is yours. Vendors and visitors get time-limited keys, and every door that opens is logged.
Real Estate App Projects
SelfTour IQ
Self-guided tour app
Renters book a tour in the app, open the unit’s doors with their phone when they arrive and apply on the spot. We built the iOS and Android apps and the platform behind them. Walk In IQ reports it cut vacancy loss by 25% across Goldfarb Properties’ portfolio.
Goldfarb Connect
Resident app
The residents’ app for Goldfarb Properties, a New York landlord with more than 7,000 apartments. Residents open lobby and apartment doors from their phone and send guests a temporary key. It has been on the App Store and Google Play since October 2024.
Technologies & Integrations
We build on a widely used, well-supported stack and connect each app to the services around it.

AI in Real Estate Apps
We add AI where people notice it in the app, and a person stays in charge of anything that goes out under your name.
Search in plain words
Buyers type what they want, like “two bedrooms near the park with room for a home office”, and the app turns it into filters and ranks the results.
Listing copy and photo tagging
Drafts a listing description from the property details and tags each photo by room. The agent checks both before the listing goes live.
Lead triage for agents
Sorts incoming inquiries by how ready each person seems to buy or rent, so agents call the warmest leads first.
Tour follow-ups
After a self-guided tour, the app drafts a follow-up about the unit the renter saw and suggests similar homes if they didn’t apply.
Our Real Estate App Development Process
Discovery
We map who uses the app and what they need to get done in it, and check which data and hardware it depends on. You get a scope and a budget range before the build starts.
Design and prototype
Clickable prototypes, tested with the people who will use the app before anyone writes code.
Build and integrate
Two-week sprints with working builds on your phone. Listing feeds and lock connections come first, because they carry the most risk.
Launch
We take the app through App Store and Google Play review and release it to a first group of users, or one building, before everyone gets it.
Support and growth
Updates for every new iOS and Android version, plus the features users ask for once the app is in their hands.

REVIEWS
We wanted to enhance our shipping solutions by migrating our desktop-based platform and its users to a new web application. Good KPIs met our expectations, generating plans for future collaboration with Eastern Peak.
interview on Clutch
We had a development challenge, as well as a business one. We needed quality people quickly, so we decided to approach Eastern Peak. The results were excellent and we were able to exploit the full potential of the IoT.
interview on Clutch
Eastern Peak assumed responsibility for their results and never tried to deflect it. They stood behind their promises and were very pragmatic. We have received input on app development as well as on our general business model, which helped a lot.
interview on Clutch
We needed to find people who were experienced specifically with startup schedules. Most of the people I’ve worked with had experience of five or six startups, and they’re in their mid-20s. These guys have a good reputation, and I just got very lucky to work with them.
interview on Clutch
They gave me the knowledge, expertise, and experience I needed to launch everything from the beginning and to support it further. They’re like a partner in terms of thinking and creating new concepts, new features, and new ideas.

FAQs on Real Estate App Development
1. How much does real estate app development cost?
It depends on how many audiences the app serves and what it has to connect to. A single cross-platform app on an existing backend costs a fraction of a platform with separate apps for renters and agents, MLS feeds and door access. Listing feeds and lock hardware add the most work.
2. How long does it take to build a real estate app?
A first version for one audience usually reaches the app stores within a few months. Bigger products go out in stages, so real users try the app early and shape what comes next.
3. Can you show MLS listings in our app?
Yes. We connect to MLS data through the RESO Web API or the IDX feed your brokerage is licensed for, and build in that MLS’s display rules. The MLS approves access itself, and approval takes time, so we start that paperwork with you early.
4. Can the app work with the smart locks we already have?
Usually, yes, as long as the lock maker offers an API or SDK, which most commercial brands do. If you are building your own hardware, we write the firmware and the app together.
5. Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the store listings, take the app through review and release updates under your developer accounts, so the apps stay yours.
6. Do you support the app after launch?
Yes. The team that built it stays on to keep it working with each new iOS and Android release and to add the features your users ask for.
