Deal Dock
Homebase is a mobile app that guides home buyers and sellers through every stage of their real estate transaction alongside their agent. We built the full product for iOS and Android, including a stage-by-stage client journey, a document hub, smart milestone notifications, and a dedicated agent control panel. The platform replaces scattered texts and emails with one clear, organized view of exactly where a deal stands and what happens next.

Project overview
Overview
Buying or selling a home is stressful, and most of that stress comes from silence. Clients rarely know what their agent is working on, what's coming next, or whether anything is actually happening behind the scenes. Homebase solves that by giving every buyer and seller a personalized, stage-by-stage view of their deal, guided entirely by their agent. We built the complete mobile app and agent dashboard from the ground up.

Challenge
Real estate transactions involve dozens of small moving parts, documents, deadlines, inspections, closing steps, spread across texts, emails, and phone calls that are easy to lose track of. The challenge was building a client experience simple enough to show only what matters right now, without overwhelming users with the entire process at once, while giving agents full control over pacing and communication. We also needed separate, tailored journeys for sellers (16 stages) and buyers (11 stages), since their processes differ significantly.

Key Challenges
Replacing scattered texts with one clear view.
Showing only the current stage, not everything.
Supporting distinct buyer and seller journeys.
Giving agents full control, without complexity.
Keeping document sharing secure and easy to use.
Building trust through consistent automation.
Designing invite-only onboarding, not open signup.
Solution
We built a cross-platform mobile app using React Native, paired with a React-based agent control panel. Agents create client profiles and send an invite, then manage every stage of the deal from their dashboard, uploading documents, setting deadlines, and advancing progress as the real transaction moves forward. Clients open the app to see their current stage, a document hub, live checklists for key moments like closing prep, and click-to-call access for their agent, lawyer, or utility providers. Sellers automatically receive market updates and smart deadline reminders keep everyone on track.
