Solution 1: An All-Encompassing User-Friendly Solution for Real Estate Management

The platform prioritizes user-friendliness, allowing agents to buy subscriptions for client communication and activity tracking. Clients gain access to financial tools for planning property purchases through saved searches, vendor recommendations, and budgeting features. They can browse real estate listings, leave notes, and connect with agents via multiple channels. Properties can be sorted by price, size, location, and rating for a streamlined experience. Clients can also choose between renting or purchasing a property. Lastly, Ruuster simplifies home visits by enabling clients to select specific dates and times, making the process easier and less stressful.

Solution 2: Safe Communication Tools

Safe communication was the top priority during the development of Ruuster. The client’s goal was to create a home-buying platform with some of the best security tools on the market. We helped them achieve this goal by using leading encryption technologies and performing rigorous testing to remove any potential security gaps in code. As a result, all information users share on the platform is kept confidential between the clients and their agents.

Solution 3: Integration with Leading MLS Platforms and CRM Systems

We have integrated the platform with leading MLS platforms and CRM systems, achieving a very high level of coverage for them. In the US, Ruuster integrates with 95% of the MLSs on the market. As for Canada, it works with 75% of the existing platforms in its market. Our team has also managed to provide near-complete integration with leading CRMs and website/marketing platforms via both native and Zapier-based tools.
