This template defines Property, Inquiry, Agent, and Notification with real-time features and ownership rules so teams can implement property management quickly.

Core Real Estate CRM Features

Every technology card in this hub uses the same real estate CRM backend schema with Property, Inquiry, Agent, and Notification.

Property listings and management

Property class stores address, price, description, and agent assignment.

Inquiry tracking and management

Inquiry class links property, client, and status.

Agent management

Agent class stores name, contact, and assigned properties.

Real-time notifications

Notification class stores agent, inquiry, and message.

Why Build Your Real Estate CRM Backend with Back4app?

Back4app gives you property, inquiry, agent, and notification primitives so your team can focus on property management and client interactions instead of infrastructure.

  • •Property and inquiry management: Property class with details and inquiry class for client interactions supports real estate operations.
  • •Agent and notification features: Manage agents with contact details and allow them to receive notifications easily.
  • •Realtime + API flexibility: Use Live Queries for inquiry updates while keeping REST and GraphQL available for every client.

Build and iterate on real estate CRM features quickly with one backend contract across all platforms.

Build with AI Agent

Use the Back4app AI Agent to generate a real estate CRM app from this template, including frontend, backend, auth, and property, inquiry, agent, and notification flows.

Back4app AI Agent
Ready to build
Create a real estate CRM app backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. Property: address, price, description, agent (Pointer to Agent, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
2. Inquiry: property (Pointer to Property, required), client (String, required), status (String, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
3. Agent: name (String, required), contact (String, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
4. Notification: agent (Pointer to Agent, required), inquiry (Pointer to Inquiry, required), message (String, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).

Security:
- Only the assigned agent can update/delete their properties. Only the agent can create/delete their inquiries and notifications. Use Cloud Code for validation.

Auth:
- Sign-up, login, logout.

Behavior:
- List properties, create inquiries, assign agents, send notifications, and manage inquiries.

Deliver:
- Back4app app with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for property listings, inquiries, agents, and notifications.

Press the button below to open the Agent with this template prompt pre-filled.

This is the base prompt without a technology suffix. You can adapt the generated frontend stack afterward.
