Property platforms that do not drown in duplicate listings.
Brokerage tooling, listing platforms, valuation models. We have shipped to broker bases of 3,000+ across the GCC.
The work proptech actually needs.
Property tech is one of the few verticals where the user experience and the regulatory integration matter equally. Listings need to be fast to publish and impossible to duplicate. Broker workflow needs to be 5-minute, not 45-minute. Ownership and identity have to verify against real government registries (MOJ in Kuwait, RERA and DLD in Dubai, GLA in Singapore, county recorders in the US). The MVP that ignores any of these ships once and dies.
What changes when a Metafic pod is in your repo.
Image and address fingerprinting at submit time
Not at moderation review. Duplicates get blocked before they reach a moderator. Most platforms catch them after.
State-machine moderation workflows
Broker self-correct paths instead of full resubmits. Roughly 40% of rejections turn into broker-side fixes.
Government registry hooks at submit
MOJ, PACI, RERA, DLD, or equivalent for ownership verification at the point of listing, not after.
Multi-language content parity baked into validation
Not a separate review step. Arabic and English (or your locales) get checked at the same time the rest of the form does.
Map and geo pipelines that handle Arabic or multi-script addresses
A surprising number of platforms break on this. We test for it.
Who is on the pod for this work.
Pods scale up from here for Enterprise engagements.
Has shipped proptech in production, knows what each region's registry actually requires.
Full-stack, comfortable with maps, geocoding, and image pipelines.
Workflow-test experience. Tests the moderation paths as carefully as the broker-side ones.
Only if AVM or valuation is in scope. Otherwise architect plus engineers cover it.
The bugs that bite this stack.
Address normalization across Arabic and English losing precision
Common. The difference between "Block 7" and "كتلة 7" can be a duplicate that ships.
Listing photos that look identical with different EXIF data
Slips through dedup that uses only file hashes. Image fingerprinting catches these.
Registry rate limits affecting real-time verification
MOJ, RERA, and equivalents do not love being hit 50 times per minute. We design for the API contract.
Time-zone-aware lease calculations crossing month boundaries
Real source of rent-roll bugs in regions that change clocks.
Honest about scope.
We will not build dual brokerage marketplaces and listing portals at the same time in one engagement. They have different user models and conflating them is how products get stuck.
On the Kuwait proptech engagement, the pod's first two weeks were shadowing moderation analysts before writing any code. The proposal that came out of it cut submit-to-live time from 4 hours to under 10 minutes.

Which markets have you shipped to?
UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait. Comfortable with US and UK regulatory contexts. The engineering shape generalizes.
Do you do MLS integrations?
Yes via RESO Web API for the US. Other markets vary by their data-cooperation model.
Do you do iBuyer / instant-offer workflows?
Selective. AVM is a model risk; we integrate yours, we do not build a new one in a 5-month engagement.
Can you handle rental management?
Yes. Rent rolls, lease accounting, maintenance ticketing, payment collection.
Ready to scope it?
A 25-minute call. We will tell you what we would do, what we would not, and whether a pod is the right shape.
Or stay in the loop. One engineering teardown a week.
