Open House – Real Estate Marketplace App
Overview
Open House is a cross-platform real estate marketplace built with React Native and Expo for iOS, Android, and web.
I worked on the application to create a complete property experience where users can discover homes, manage listings, save properties, submit offers, communicate with buyers and sellers, and access market insights—all from one platform.
The application supports both sides of the real estate marketplace, with dedicated experiences for buyers, sellers, and users who operate as both.
The Challenge
A real estate marketplace needs to support several interconnected user journeys without making the experience complicated.
Buyers need powerful tools for discovering and comparing properties, while sellers need an efficient way to create listings, manage interest, and communicate with potential buyers.
The goal was to bring property discovery, listings, offers, communication, and market information together into a mobile-first experience that feels consistent across platforms.

What I Built
1. Authentication & User Accounts
I implemented a complete authentication experience with support for different marketplace roles.
Users can register as a Buyer, Seller, or Both, allowing the application to adapt functionality around how they intend to use the marketplace.
The authentication system includes:
Registration and login
Email verification
Password recovery and reset
Persistent authenticated sessions
Secure credential storage
Buyer and seller profile management
2. Property Discovery & Search
I built a property discovery experience designed to help buyers move quickly from browsing to finding relevant homes.
Users can explore properties across categories including:
Condos
Apartments
Luxury properties
Studios
Bungalows
Advanced search and filtering allow users to narrow listings by location, price range, bedrooms, bathrooms, and property type.
Location autocomplete and recently added listings further simplify property discovery.
3. Rich Property Details
Each listing provides buyers with the information needed to evaluate a property before taking the next step.
Property pages support:
Image galleries
Video tours
Property amenities
Location information
Market insights
Price history
Property comparisons
The experience is designed to move naturally from discovery into saving, contacting the seller, or making an offer.
4. Saved Properties & Homelists
I implemented tools that allow users to organize properties they’re interested in rather than relying on a single favorites list.
Users can:
Save properties
Create custom homelists
Organize listings around different preferences
Return to properties they’re actively considering
This creates a more useful experience for buyers comparing multiple homes over time.
5. Seller Listing Management
Sellers can create and manage their own property listings directly from the application.
The listing workflow supports property information, media, pricing, and other details required to present a property to buyers.
Sellers can also manage existing listings and track activity around the properties they’ve published.
6. Offers & Buyer-Seller Communication
I built offer-management functionality that connects property discovery directly with negotiation.
Users can:
Submit property offers
Receive and review offers
Track offer status
View offer history
Communicate through an integrated chat experience
This keeps conversations and offer activity connected to the relevant property instead of requiring buyers and sellers to move immediately to external communication channels.
7. Market Insights & Property Appraisals
Open House extends beyond property listings by providing tools for understanding the surrounding market.
The platform supports:
Property appraisal requests
Price comparisons
Market trends
Location analytics
Community insights
Property performance data
These features provide additional context when users are evaluating a property or preparing one for sale.
8. Real-Time Notifications
I implemented notifications to keep users informed about important marketplace activity.
Notifications can surface events such as:
New property matches
Offer activity
Price changes
Listing updates
Market insights
System notifications
This helps users stay connected to relevant activity without repeatedly checking individual properties.
9. Cross-Platform Mobile Experience
The application was designed around a mobile-first experience while maintaining support across iOS, Android, and web.
The interface includes smooth navigation and transitions, keyboard-aware layouts, safe-area handling, responsive screens, toast feedback, and network-aware functionality.
Reusable UI components and a consistent design system help maintain the same product experience throughout the application.
The Result
Open House brings the core real estate journey into one connected experience:
Discover → Search & Filter → Explore Property → Save → Make an Offer → Chat → Negotiate
For sellers, the platform provides a complementary workflow:
Create Listing → Publish Property → Receive Interest → Manage Offers → Communicate with Buyers
The result is a comprehensive real estate marketplace that serves both sides of a property transaction while maintaining a consistent cross-platform experience.
