White Label Real Estate App: Listings, Viewings and Tenants

Published November 3, 2022 · 6 min read

A real estate business runs on listings, viewings and, after the deal, tenants. Most agencies handle the first on a portal they do not own and the last on a spreadsheet. A white label real estate app puts all three under the agency's own name.

White Label Real Estate App: Listings, Viewings and Tenants

The white label real estate app is a finished app that GBCORP rebrands and configures for an agency, a developer or a property manager: listings, search, alerts, viewing bookings, enquiries, and, for managed property, tenant and owner portals. It runs on iOS, Android and the web under the business’s own brand, with rent and fees settling to its own gateway account, and is live within days at a flat monthly plan.

Listings that convert

A listing loads fast with the photos sized for the phone, the price and the map on one screen, and a single tap to book a viewing or ask a question. Saved searches send an alert when a matching listing appears, which is how an agency keeps buyers who are not ready today. Every listing has its own web address so it appears in search results under the agency’s domain rather than a portal’s.

Viewings without the phone tag

The buyer picks a slot from the agent’s availability, the agent confirms, both get a reminder, and the feedback form arrives an hour after the viewing. The console shows viewings per listing and the feedback beside them, which is the conversation an agent wants to have with the seller.

After the deal: tenants and owners

For managed property the same app becomes the tenant’s portal: lease, rent, receipts, maintenance requests with photos, and documents. The owner sees statements and approves repairs. Rent is paid in the app to the agency’s own account. The property manager runs it all from the console and stops answering the same three phone calls.

Configure or build

Agencies, developers selling their own projects and property managers fit the white label real estate app and are live within days. Portals with thousands of agencies, valuation engines or integrations with a listing-syndication system are custom work, scoped in a week and quoted per release on the same engine.

Checklist before launch

  • Listings exported with photos, plans and details; or a feed from the current system.
  • Agents with availability for viewings.
  • Lease templates, rent schedules and maintenance workflow for managed property.
  • Payment-gateway account in the agency’s name.
  • Store developer accounts in the agency’s name, or a note for GBCORP to create them.
  • The three numbers to watch: enquiries per listing, viewings booked, rent paid on time.

The numbers to expect

Live within one to five working days on the web, store listings after review, a flat monthly plan with no commission on rent or fees. Customised or more complex functionality is quoted separately before any work starts.

Developers selling their own projects

A developer launching a project uses the same app as a sales channel: units with plans, prices and availability, a reservation flow with a deposit paid in the app, a buyer portal with construction updates and documents, and a hand-over checklist at completion. After hand-over, the buyer portal becomes the owner portal for the managed building, so the developer’s app outlives the sale. All of it is configuration on the engine, and the unit inventory updates the moment a reservation is paid.

Reports an agency principal reads

Listings live and days on market. Enquiries per listing and the source. Viewings booked, held and the feedback. Offers and conversions by agent. For managed property, occupancy, rent collected against due, maintenance open and closed, and owner statements sent. Exports for the accountant. All of it in the console, and none of it needs the spreadsheet the agency currently keeps on Friday afternoons.

Multi-market agencies

An agency listing property in two countries runs one app with two configurations: language, currency, measurement units, tax and the payment provider set per market, with right-to-left layouts as a setting. Listings are tagged to a market and buyers see the one they chose. Agents and branches are grouped per market in the same console, and the reports roll up to the principal.

Maintenance without the phone

A tenant reports a fault from the app with a photo and a preferred time. The property manager sees it in the console, assigns a contractor, and the tenant sees the status change. The owner approves a cost above a limit from their own portal. The contractor’s completion photo closes the request and the invoice attaches to the property file. Response times per request type are reported, which is the number an owner asks about before renewing a management contract, and the number the agency can now show.

Questions we hear first

Can listings sync with the portals we already use?

Where a portal offers a feed or API, syndication is quoted as an extension; otherwise listings are managed in the console and exported.

Do tenants need a separate app?

No. The same app shows the tenant portal to signed-in tenants.

Can we run several branches?

Yes. Branches, agents and listings are grouped in one console.

Who owns the leads?

The agency, in a dedicated cloud project, exportable at any time.
