Work Alma Realty
Client Real estate · South Florida
Alma Realty
A bilingual real-estate site where visitors search every MLS listing in South Florida and every enquiry lands with the agent.
· The brief
What it had to do
Alma needed a site that looks like a brokerage, not a template: photography up front, search that finds real homes, and the same care in Spanish as in English. The agent wanted to change her own listings, photos and contact details without calling anyone.
· What we built
MLS search
Every active listing in the area, searchable through IDX Broker. The agent's key stays on our server, answers are cached for two hours, and if IDX limits us the site shows the last good results.
English and Spanish
Every page in both languages, with a switch that remembers the visitor's choice.
A CMS that fills the page on the server
Listings, photos and contact details are edited in a private admin. The server writes them into the page before it's sent, so Google reads the real phone number and nothing flashes.
Listings that are never empty
The homepage shows MLS results first, then the agent's own listings, then placeholders. It never shows invented homes.
Replies and leads
Each form has its own automatic reply, and every submission is kept in a leads list in the admin.
Keys kept safe
Email and IDX keys are pasted into the admin, stored encrypted, and never shown again.
