Services · Mobile app development · Real estate apps
Codeeo provides real estate app development in the USA for brokerages, franchise groups, agent teams and residential developers. We build consumer search apps, agent apps and broker dashboards that pull from the MLSs you belong to, handle buyer agreements state by state and keep marketing inside federal fair housing rules. The result is one branded product your agents can use in every market you serve, with each state's rules applied where they belong.
Since the 2024 NAR settlement, how buyers and agents agree terms has changed nationally, and several states have added their own rules on top. Software built before those changes often needs more than a patch. We build for the rules as they stand now, with room to adapt as they keep changing.

What a national real estate app covers
Real estate in the United States is national in brand and local in law. Each state licenses brokers and agents through its own commission or department and writes its own advertising and agency rules. Listing data comes from hundreds of separate MLSs, each with its own license terms for IDX and Web API display. Federal law then sits over everything: the Fair Housing Act for advertising, RESPA for referral relationships with lenders and title companies, the TCPA for calls and texts, and the ADA for accessibility.
The August 2024 NAR settlement changed the center of the buyer side. Offers of buyer agent compensation came out of the MLS, and agents working with buyers in MLS markets now need a written agreement before touring a home. A national app has to carry all of this without becoming a different app in every state. These are the capabilities we build to make that work.
A backend that connects to each MLS you belong to through RESO Web API or IDX feeds, normalizes the fields, removes duplicates where markets overlap and applies every MLS's own display, attribution and refresh rules. New markets are added as configuration, not new code. Feed health is monitored per MLS.
Expansion into a new metro without rebuilding search.
Written buyer agreements are required before touring under MLS rules that followed the NAR settlement, and states such as Texas and California add their own timing, term and content rules. The app picks the right form and workflow for the property's state and blocks steps until the agreement is in place.
One process for agents, correct rules for each state.
Brokerage names, license numbers and required disclosures vary by state. The app stores each agent's licenses and applies the right display on profiles, listings and campaigns, so an agent licensed in two states shows the correct details to each audience. License renewals trigger reminders to the agent and the broker.
State advertising requirements handled automatically.
Listing copy, neighborhood content and push messages pass a wording review for language that signals a preference related to race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. Ad exports use the special housing categories that major platforms require, and no audience is built on protected characteristics.
Marketing at national scale with lower legal risk.
Every call, text and email to a lead is tied to a recorded consent. The app honors TCPA and CAN-SPAM opt outs across every brand and office, and adapts call recording notices for states that require all party consent. Quiet hours follow the recipient's local time zone.
Fast lead follow up without consent problems.
Many brokerages show preferred lenders, title and insurance partners in their apps. We build these sections with the disclosures your counsel requires and without hidden lead fees, because RESPA Section 8 prohibits paying or receiving referral fees for settlement services.
Useful partner features that respect federal referral rules.
More states pass consumer privacy laws every year, from California and Virginia to Texas and others. A single privacy center handles access, correction, deletion and opt out requests, applying the strictest common standard or state specific rules as your counsel decides. Requests are logged with dates so responses can be shown later.
One privacy process that scales with your footprint.
Contracts, disclosures and closing documents are shared in a secure room per deal, with e-signature under the federal ESIGN Act and state electronic transactions laws. The app never sends wiring instructions and warns buyers to verify them by phone with their title or escrow company. Remote online notarization, where a state permits it, is handled by your title partner rather than inside the app.
Closings that are harder for fraudsters to target.
Brand leaders see activity by region, office, team and agent: leads, response times, agreements signed, listings taken and closed transactions. Franchise owners see only their own offices, while the network sees trends across every market. Exports feed your finance and recruiting teams.
Clear performance data from the agent level up.
When a client moves from one of your markets to another, an agent can pass the relationship to a licensed colleague in the destination state inside the app, with the buyer's consent, saved searches and history carried across. Referral agreements between brokerages are recorded with the terms your brokers approve.
Relocating clients stay inside your network.
Who this is for
Most of our US real estate work starts with growth: a brokerage entering new states, a network replacing several local tools, or a builder adding communities in new metros. The first release depends on where the friction is. These are the four starting points we see most often, and how we usually shape the work. In every case, the brokerage or builder keeps ownership of its consumer relationships instead of handing them to a national portal that also sells leads to competitors.
Expansion means new MLS memberships, new license rules and new agents who already use other tools. We design the app so a new state is a configuration task: add the MLS connection, the state's agreement forms and disclosure rules, then onboard the agents. Your existing markets keep working while the new one goes live. Agents in the new market get the same app on day one, with training material adapted to the local forms they will use.
Each new market adds configuration, not a rebuild.
Networks need a consistent consumer brand with local control. We build a shared app with franchise level branding options, data separation between owners, and network wide reporting. Each franchisee controls their agents and leads; the brand controls the experience and the standards. Brand standards for listing photos, descriptions and agent profiles can be enforced in the admin panel rather than by email reminders.
Shared brand, separated data.
Builders selling in several states need community pages, plan and lot availability, agent cooperation and interest lists by metro. We connect to your sales systems so each division sees its own leads, while marketing sees national performance and can compare communities fairly. Model home appointments and agent registrations from the app feed straight into each division's sales process.
Division level control, national reporting.
Many brokerage apps were built before the settlement, with compensation fields, showing flows and agreement steps that no longer match practice. Any real estate mobile app developers in the USA taking on this work have to migrate users and saved searches without losing them. We plan that migration as part of the rebuild. Store listings, ratings and reviews carry over when the new version replaces the old one, rather than starting again from zero.
Modern workflows without losing your existing users.
How we work together
Codeeo has no offices in the United States. Every US engagement is remote: 80+ people in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi work with clients, running discovery, reviews and demos by video call. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and we hold a 4.7 rating from 23 Google reviews. National clients usually start with a pilot market on a fixed scope, then move to a retainer or a dedicated team for rollout across the rest of the country. Scope, release waves and ownership are written down before any work begins.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We build in React Native or Flutter for iOS and Android, with a cloud backend designed for many MLS connections and many tenants. Hosting, identity and analytics run in your accounts so the product stays yours whoever maintains it. Monitoring alerts us when an MLS feed stops updating, before buyers notice.

It depends on markets, MLSs and integrations, not just screens.
The biggest cost drivers are how many MLSs and states the app covers at launch, whether you need separate buyer, agent and broker apps, how many systems it connects to, and how much franchise or division separation is needed. A pilot in one or two markets keeps the first investment smaller and gives you real data before the national rollout. Each new state adds its own forms, MLS approval and agent onboarding, so the rollout plan matters as much as the first build.
