Why this system had to exist
I developed Realiadad State as a lightweight, specialized property CRM designed to offer small real estate brokerages high-performance lead tracking. Traditional CRM platforms (like Salesforce) are expensive and require extensive customization, making them inaccessible for small agencies. These brokerages need a simple, self-hosted database to store property listings, track client interactions, and manage lead lifecycles. The setup required designing a vertical SaaS platform that runs efficiently on low-cost edge servers with near-zero maintenance. The goal was to build a responsive React frontend and a secure Express backend backed by SQLite. This self-contained setup provides property agents with a fast, private database to manage property leads and sync listings without high infrastructure costs.
