Dormer Real Estate Agency App

Overview

Dormer is a real estate agency's own app: one agency's homes for sale and for rent in one calm, photo-first app. People search by map, by list or in plain words, see every room and the floor plan before they go, book a tour in three taps, save homes in lists, and message their agent. Owners can ask what their home is worth, and an agent prepares the valuation by hand.

It is made for an independent brokerage, a property manager or a new-build developer that wants its own branded app. The agency earns on sales and leases, so nothing is paid in the app. It opens on a sample agency in Denver: four agents, ten homes and ten neighborhoods, with dates built from today so open houses are always this weekend.

Key features

• Home: the newest home for the person's search as a big photo card, then their next tour

  

• Describe it: a sentence becomes filters the person can edit, with the matching homes and why each fits

  

• Listing: the photo gallery, price with a monthly mortgage estimate, facts, open houses, features, floor plan and price history

  

• Tour: in person or video chat, the next days with the times still free, and a note to the agent

  

• Saved: a photo grid of saved homes, lists such as Shortlist and Maybe, notes, and Compare for two or three homes

  

• Agent tools: today's tours as a timeline, requests to confirm, leads with Call and Text, and listing views

  

Screens

Welcome, four onboarding questions (buy or rent, neighborhoods, budget over a histogram of the agency's homes, rooms and home type) and the search built from them, sign-in with a 6-digit code, Home, Search, Filters, Map, Describe it, a listing, its photos by room, Schedule a tour, a tour, Tours, Saved, Compare, Inbox, a conversation, Mortgage, a neighborhood guide, Our team, an agent, Sell and the valuation request, You, Settings, About, Terms and Privacy, and Agent tools (today, client messages, leads, a listing's views): 37 screens, light and dark.

AI and backend

Supabase keeps the agency's agents, neighborhoods, listings with their photos, history and open houses, and each person's saved homes, searches, tours, conversations and valuation requests, each readable only by its owner and the agents it concerns. The database refuses a tour that overlaps another of the same agent, falls outside opening hours or lies in the past, and an agent's reply or confirmation reaches the other phone at once over Realtime. Describe it runs on one Edge Function with your Gemini key against a daily allowance; in sample mode an on-device parser reads prices, rooms, neighborhoods, home types and features. Both leave out words about people and say so.

Monetisation

None in the app, by design: no in-app purchases, fees or card details. Rents show per month with the deposit and lease terms and are paid to the landlord, never in the app. The mortgage screen is an estimate from the person's own numbers, labelled as one.

Setup

It opens on the sample agency with no setup. Connect Supabase and apply the three migrations for accounts, tours and messages in the cloud, add your Gemini key and deploy the ai function for Describe it, then replace the sample agency with your own agents, neighborhoods, homes and photos. Tour reminders are local notifications on the phone.
