Awada Realty Group

Real estate is the most template-saturated category on the web. Every competing Ottawa agency runs the same stock theme with the same stock search widget bolted on, which means differentiation cannot come from styling — it has to come from the product actually working better. A listings platform is also a genuinely hard build: inventory changes daily, every listing needs its own indexable page, filters have to stay fast against a live feed, and the agents who manage that inventory are not developers. On top of that, a new brokerage has to look established from day one, without the transaction history a large firm can point to.

We built it as a Next.js application on Vercel with server-side rendering, so every listing and neighbourhood page is a real indexable URL rather than a client-side search state. Clerk handles authentication and gates a dashboard where the team manages listings directly — the site updates itself as inventory moves. The search interface sits at the centre of the product: a persistent filter bar across city, listing type, beds, baths and price, with card and list view toggles and a collapsible sidebar. Around it we built conversion paths for each audience — a dedicated Sellers track leading to a free home evaluation, four neighbourhood landing pages capturing local search intent, and a credibility block carrying the team's track record. The design stays deliberately restrained: black, white and the gold of the Awada mark, letting property photography do the work.
