NeueBuild—real estate startup for new build homes

TL;DR

A real estate startup for taking advantage of a market gap

How to Start a Startup

We began working with a family of realtors to develop a unique open niche in the real estate market.

Searching for and purchasing a new construction home is different than other real estate properties. The majority of new construction homes are not listed on websites like Zillow or RedFin. So, the new homes are found by other means.

We stepped in to develop a brand, user experience, and technology stack to make the search for new build properties as easy to use as any other online real estate marketplace.

Our approach to startup technology

Technology can make or break a startup. Startup apps need to be stable, easy to maintain, capable of growth, and be clearly documented. At Spacetime, we always use common, well-known technologies. We avoid any type of "proprietary" code or platforms and opt for open source code.

Here are some of the tools and services we used for NeueBuild:

  • Ruby on Rails
  • React JS
  • Heroku
  • Postgres
  • Amazon S3
  • Stripe
  • Frontend development
  • Mobile first development
  • Responsive web design (RWD)
  • Google Analytics
  • MailChimp integration

Branding

We worked to create the business name, logo, and brand identity.
