App for real estate agencies: catalog, property search and realtor chat in one screen.
An app makes sense for an agency with a large property catalog and repeat clients — investors, tenants, buyers on installment plans. For a single office with 10–20 properties, we'll honestly recommend a PWA or a well-built mobile-friendly website.
Real estate is one of the few industries where a buyer returns to search again and again: browsing new listings, comparing prices, waiting for the right option for months. An app turns this process into a system: a push notification «a new property matching your budget has appeared», saved favorites with browsing history, quick chat with a realtor without searching for a contact in messengers.
For an agency with a rental portfolio, an app solves an operational problem: a tenant renews their lease, pays and reports issues through the app without calling a manager. This reduces the load on the team and improves tenant retention.
We build apps natively (Swift, Kotlin) or on Flutter, with our own backend and admin panel for managing properties and realtors. Our experience in 1Study and 1Work products — apps with catalogs, payments and notifications for thousands of daily users.
What an agency app must have.
Filters by deal type, development, district, number of rooms, price and mortgage programs. Property card with photos, floor plan, video and map.
Save properties, compare two options, browsing history. The realtor sees what the client viewed and creates a personalized selection.
Push notification when a property matching saved parameters appears: district, budget, number of rooms. The buyer finds out before the property reaches krisha.kz.
Payment calculation for Otbasy, 7-20-25 and Baspana Hit programs directly on the property card, with a link to a consultation request.
Built-in chat or WhatsApp redirect with property context: the realtor immediately sees which property the question is about, without asking.
Choose a time from the realtor's schedule, push confirmation, reminder one hour before. The viewing is automatically logged in the CRM.
Kaspi Pay for reservation and deposit, document upload for the deal, transaction status in one screen.
Manage properties, realtors and notifications; view and inquiry statistics by property and staff member.

Honestly: who won't get ROI from an app.
A small agency with 5–10 realtors and a client base of a few hundred won't get ROI from an app: buyers won't install it for a once-in-a-lifetime transaction. The tasks of catalog, search and communication are covered by a mobile-friendly website and CRM with WhatsApp at 10–15% of the app's cost.
An app pays off for an agency with a large rental portfolio where clients return regularly, or for a large developer with several developments and a buyer base in the thousands. If you're somewhere in between — we'll suggest a PWA: catalog and chat functionality in the browser without publishing to app stores, 2–3 times cheaper.
How we build it and how long it takes.
Brief and screen prototypes — 1–2 weeks. Design — 2–3 weeks. Backend development, iOS and Android, CRM and Kaspi Pay integration — 8–12 weeks. App Store and Google Play submission with review — 1–2 weeks. Total: 12–16 weeks for the first version; we then iterate based on usage data and team feedback.
What affects the app price.
iOS and Android app with catalog, search, chat and Kaspi Pay — from ₸2,500,000, from 8 weeks. PWA without app stores — from ₸1,200,000. Support and ongoing development — under a separate agreement.
Cost increases with: krisha.kz and CRM sync, mortgage calculator with multiple programs, parameter-based notification system, payments and document flow. Base prices are on the mobile apps page.
The short version.
How much does an app for a real estate agency cost?
Native iOS and Android app — from ₸2,500,000; PWA without app stores — from ₸1,200,000. Timeline — from 8 weeks. We provide an estimate after screen prototyping.
Will the app sync with krisha.kz?
Yes, via XML feed: properties from the app catalog are automatically sent to krisha.kz with current prices and statuses.
Can buyers pay a deposit through the app?
Yes, via Kaspi Pay: the buyer reserves a property and pays a deposit directly in the app; the agency receives a notification and logs the reservation in the CRM.
Will buyers actually install the app?
They install it when there's a benefit: notifications about new properties matching their parameters before krisha.kz, favorites with history, quick realtor chat. We motivate installs with a bonus on the first in-app inquiry.
Who publishes to App Store and Google Play?
We do, under your name: we set up developer accounts (Apple — $99/year, Google — $25 one-time), go through review and release updates.
