Short answer
A property listing portal lets agents, developers and owners list properties and buyers or tenants search, compare and enquire. Infikey builds portals with map and filter search, listing management, agent subscriptions, lead routing, verified listings and SEO-friendly locality pages. A portal MVP typically costs USD 25,000–70,000.

Compliance for listings
- UAE: Dubai listings need a valid Trakheesi permit number and broker details; portals usually validate permits and remove expired ones.
- India: RERA-registered projects and agents must show registration numbers (and QR codes in some states) on advertisements.
- UK: listings must include material information such as tenure, council tax band and price; portals show agent redress scheme details.
- US: MLS listings shown through IDX must follow MLS display rules and Fair Housing guidelines; RESO Web API is the standard data feed.
Building validation into listing creation keeps the portal clean and protects your agents from fines.

Project blueprint
Local property listing portal for a brokerage network
Based on the requirements we hear most often from buyers like this.
A brokerage network wants its own listing portal for its city instead of paying national portals for every listing, and wants buyers to search, shortlist and contact agents directly.
What we would build
- Listing search with map view, filters and saved searches
- Agent and owner listing tools with photo and video upload
- Lead routing to the listing agent by WhatsApp, call or form
- SEO-ready location and project pages built from listing data
- Paid featured listings and agent subscriptions
How success is measured
- Organic search traffic to location pages
- Enquiries per listing
- Share of leads from the portal against paid portals
- Revenue from featured listings and subscriptions
