9,400 members. Twelve weeks.
Columbus REALTORS® - 9,400+ members. Full platform delivered in twelve weeks, plus a companion mobile app. Live at columbusrealtors.com.
What they needed
- A public site staff could run without a developer
- MLS listings and monthly market statistics on the site, not in PDFs
- Events, committees, advocacy and awards in one place
- A member directory that stays right on its own
- A companion mobile app
What we built
- Member directory from their member data
- MLS listings and open houses from their feed
- Market statistics as pages and charts by area
- Events calendar, committees, advocacy, awards programs, alerts
- Document library and member-only content
- Companion mobile app
What it looks like
9,400+ members served. The full platform went live in twelve weeks. Classes, committee meetings and events in one view, fed automatically. Member directory sits behind the members' login; news and alerts are public. MLS listings connected through the RESO Web API, with agents, offices and open houses. Monthly housing reports published as pages on the site. Committee rosters and the documents that go with them.
The hard part
Twelve weeks is roughly a third of the industry norm, and the reason isn’t that we worked faster.
It’s that the association-specific parts already existed. Nobody had to invent a member directory, an events system, a document library or an MLS integration on Columbus’s budget and timeline. The work was configuration, design, content migration and the feed.
That’s the whole argument for a purpose-built platform, and Columbus is the evidence for it.
