The challenge

Harbor's buyers lived on their phones, but the firm had no app — listings, documents and agent messages were scattered across email and texts. Serious buyers cooled off between showings, and deals slipped to competitors who felt more responsive.

Our approach

Rather than build two native apps and double the cost, we used cross-platform engineering to ship to both stores from one codebase, focusing the experience on the moments that keep a buyer warm: new matches, saved homes, and instant agent contact.

The solution

A fast, polished app delivers personalized listing alerts, offline-ready saved searches, and deep links straight into a conversation with the agent — so momentum never stalls between visits.

What we delivered

  • Single React Native codebase for iOS and Android
  • Personalized push alerts for new and price-changed listings
  • Offline-ready saved searches and favorites
  • Deep links from notifications into agent messaging
  • Secure document sharing for offers and disclosures
Buyers used to go quiet for days. Now they're in the app every morning. It keeps us top of mind exactly when decisions get made.
