Case Study

Rocket Homes Real Estate

A mobile real-estate contribution on iOS and Android, designed for browsing, decision support, and native usability at a high-intent moment.

Quick Overview

Mobile Application

An iOS and Android mobile contribution in real estate, representative of our work on high-intent consumer mobile products.

The Problem

What needed to be fixed.

Home shopping happens in stolen moments — on a couch, in a car, in line somewhere. A real-estate app that can't render a listing quickly, save it reliably, and come back fresh the next time loses users to faster competitors. The app had to carry the brand's trust while feeling as quick as any consumer product people already use.

What We Did

How we tackled it.

We contributed to the Rocket Homes iOS and Android apps, focused on listings that render quickly, maps that behave natively, and a saved-properties flow that never feels broken. Native components handle the heavy parts — imagery, mapping, filters — so the app stays smooth in the short sessions home shoppers actually spend with it.

How We Built It

The approach and structure we used.

Here's how we thought about the implementation, the choices we made, and how we delivered it—without sharing anything that would compromise client privacy.

01

Approach 1

Tuned listing and map performance so browsing stays smooth on real mobile devices and data.

02

Approach 2

Built the saved-properties flow to work reliably across sessions, which is table stakes for home shoppers.

03

Approach 3

Used native iOS and Android components for search, filters, and media to keep the app fast.

04

Approach 4

Kept the visual language aligned with the Rocket brand without fighting platform conventions.

The Results

What this created for the business.

  • Listings render fast enough that users stay in the app instead of bouncing to a browser.
  • Saves, filters, and maps feel reliable enough to use during a serious home search.
  • The app feels native on both iOS and Android, not like a ported experience.
About the Metrics

We share what matters, keeping the sensitive details private.

App-store and engagement data stay with the client, but listing render speed and saved-session reliability improved post-rebuild.
