Build Custom Real Estate Apps for Any Brokerage

Adalo is the no-code app builder that pairs AI-powered generation with a visual multi-screen canvas, so entrepreneurs and business teams can design, build, and publish custom database-driven apps to the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and web from a single project — no code, no developers required.

Yes. Adalo's no-code app builder requires zero coding. Tell Ada (Adalo's AI builder) what your brokerage needs and Magic Start generates a complete app with property listings, search, and agent tools. Then visually customize everything on the canvas by pointing at elements and directing changes. Makers routinely build and publish real estate apps to the App Store and Google Play without writing a single line of code.

Adalo's paid plans start at $36/mo with unlimited usage—no caps on listings, leads, agents, or storage. Compare that to custom development at $80,000–$250,000 or Zillow-style premium placement at $500–$3,000/mo. A 20-agent brokerage on Adalo pays $36/mo total (not per agent), with native iOS and Android apps included. The free plan includes 500 database records so you can prototype your property app before committing.

Adalo can connect to MLS feeds via External Collections if your MLS provider offers a REST API (RETS or RESO Web API). However, MLS access varies significantly by region and provider—many require IDX agreements, specific compliance requirements, and approved vendor status. For brokerages with direct MLS API access, Adalo can display that data. For those without API access, you can manually enter your own listings or import them from Google Sheets via SheetBridge.

Yes. You can build a viewing scheduler where buyers select available time slots and agents receive push notifications for each booking. Connect to Google Calendar or Outlook via Zapier so that confirmed viewings automatically appear on the agent's calendar. This eliminates the back-and-forth of scheduling by phone and email.

Yes. Adalo builds true native iOS and Android apps. Agents can add new listings, upload photos, update pricing and status, and manage their lead pipeline directly from their phones. This is particularly valuable for agents who spend most of their day at showings and open houses rather than at a desk.

Portal sites give you visibility but at a cost: your listings appear alongside competing agents, leads are often shared or sold to multiple agents, and buyers associate the experience with the portal brand rather than yours. With Adalo, you build your own branded app where buyers interact exclusively with your brokerage's properties and agents. The trade-off: you don't get the portal's existing traffic. Most successful agents use both—portals for visibility and their own app for client retention and referrals.

Adalo excels at building custom property listing and agent management apps, but it's not a replacement for enterprise real estate platforms. Built-in map views with property pins, automated MLS synchronization, in-app document signing (like DocuSign), virtual tour embedding, and mortgage pre-qualification calculators require additional tools or custom API integrations. Adalo also doesn't provide direct MLS access—you need your own IDX agreement. For brokerages that want a branded client-facing app with listings, search, and viewing scheduling at a fraction of custom development costs, Adalo is the practical choice.
