Home Junction

Home Junction (now part of ATTOM Data Solutions) is a leading geospatial data provider for the real estate industry.

Challenge

Home Junction offers a complex ecosystem with many plugins, themes, widgets, and tools. The main IDX solution was no longer usable due to outdated technology. Lack of support on mobile devices created user inconveniences and potential losses in the customer base. Our main challenge was to come up with a solution that would solve these problems and incorporate best industry practices, creating a tool that could be used as part of the ecosystem and independently.

Lack of data to make a decision
Before buying a house, customers not only research information about the property but also about the neighborhood, schools, demographics, and much more. Most small IDX providers offer limited data beyond the MLS feeds because of the high cost.
Provide user-friendly interface
With the previous solution, the users had to install browser plugins to make the IDX work due to a lack of native support. Extra actions complicate the use of the platform and make barriers for seamless application use. The challenge was to develop an application that is easy to use, with a simple interface and implementation of all the best industry practices.
Accessibility on mobile devices
The previous version of the platform was not optimized for mobile devices. The accessibility on any device would allow meeting users' needs at any time and on any device. The goal was to provide a mobile version while providing the best experience on such devices.
Integration with other systems
Home Junction provides a WordPress ecosystem with many plugins, widgets, and tools. The team had to develop a solution with flexible integration capabilities. The application should work independently, but also integrate seamlessly with other systems. The client will be able to integrate the IDX solution into any page of the site or provide it to other clients.
