I am looking for a complete and fully functional Real Estate information site (with DataBase). The main features I require are:
1.A simple real estate database so Realtors (real estate brokers) can log in and add/remove their featured properties list (redirection to MLS URL links only) to their subscribed personal web hosting service. Single login for all brokers subscribing to our services. (additional services will be defined before project contract). NOTE: no information database for "PROPERTY DETAILS" since it will just be a link to an external page hosted by another Multiple Listing service ([login to view URL]).
[login to view URL] membership subscription by broker / user as well as auto termination at the end of the subscription period (an online purchase).
3.A more "corporate-like" rather than a "Portal-like" appearance on the main page. News block, upcoming events block, newest threads block: open for discussion & artistic interpretation with web designer. web structure will be provided. Detailed sections will be defined before web design.
[login to view URL] content fields (news/ articles/ tips) must be dynamically updateable via admin area.
[login to view URL] of client access:
[login to view URL] : allow visitors to conduct free and anonymous information & property searches: links to [login to view URL] search database or internal mirror DB server and/ or links to external public content.
[login to view URL] user: require registration/ contact information/ account information & passwords if the visitor wants email alerts for new properties or to save search results in their profile. His profile locally cached but has a copy of this profile in our database - for data mining.
[login to view URL] Broker: require registration/ contact information/ account information & passwords if the broker wants user referrals: referral fees will be billed to broker & administered by Admin account via web interface.
[login to view URL] user: content management & accounts management via an interactive web access.
6. 2 simple Real Estate financial calculators done in-house & other dynamic links to mortgage calculator sites (for complex calculations).
[login to view URL] integration is of the essence for all outside links: please explore other methods - other than framing.
[login to view URL] for billing (I.E. Pay pal, Visa, Master, etc.) : we may use outside billing providers.
[login to view URL] platform / technology: Linux, PHP, MySQL, XML, flash, html, macromedia, Java , stc.
[login to view URL] components & scripts needs to be original creations, with full ownership and redistribution rights
[login to view URL] engine optimization. I need the site optimized for the best placement within the genre. Should be displayed in at least the first 200 entries of search engine (Google only) for relevant "key word" searches. key words defined before implementation.
[login to view URL] technical feature: "cut & paste" disabled on anonymous users: enable subscribed users.
[login to view URL] feature: "form fields" & all contents - admin section managed via web access.
[login to view URL]'s inquiries redirected to a corresponding admin account. >>> Future plans
[login to view URL] an automated follow up email with new listings that match Visitor's criteria. All of these transactions with detailed logs for data mining / CRM. >>> Future plans
Project time frame: mid Dec 2004 >> open for discussion depending on designers work load.
All of the graphical elements will be provided by the designer. some small elements or icons(simple foreground & background web content) may need to be created. The main design will be decided upon a few design proposals by you. We want a programmer with creativity that can work alone with his own design concept.
We will retain sole ownership of all codes developed except in cases where there is third party software integrated into the site (when unavoidable & noted in writing to us). Communication will be handled through either Yahoo Messenger and email. You must be available to communicate progress on a daily basis (or bi-weekly basis) regarding work progress & be able show how project is coming to completion via web access (for webmaster). Payments will be made (not advanced) after percentages of work is done according to project plan & discussions. Startup deposit is negotiable (but this is kept minimal).
6-months maintenance contract will be awarded to the same party if project is completed under-budget & within the timeframe. Any maintenance cost to be discussed after creating the site. Possible partnership deal after 6 months from project completion: a part of service Real Estate broker subscription compensation will go to the designing company within maintenance agreement.
IMPORTANT! Only programmers who provide links to relevant examples of their past work will be considered. Please post according to your best and most relevant works. Critical completion date Dec 2004.
