Mental BoundThe challenge
An Athens-based property agency serving both Greek and international clients needed more than a listings website. They needed a fast, scalable platform capable of handling property search and discovery, lead generation, and inquiry management — all wrapped in a polished multilingual experience that could reach buyers across five languages.
Their previous setup couldn't keep pace with the volume of listings, the diversity of their audience, or the complexity of matching the right property to the right buyer.
What we built
A full-stack real estate platform on a modern JAMstack architecture — Next.js on Vercel for edge delivery and continuous deployment, with Supabase powering the backend: database, real-time data synchronization, and secure file storage. Forms are protected via Google reCAPTCHA, and the application is fully GDPR-compliant.
An AI-enhanced property-matching system recommends listings based on user preferences and market data, adding an intelligent discovery layer on top of standard browsing.
Property search and map integration
The core feature is a dual-mode property discovery interface. Users browse through a responsive card grid or an interactive map powered by Leaflet and OpenStreetMap, with both views synchronized in real time. Filtering spans multiple dimensions — transaction type, category, subcategory, price range, and surface area — alongside sort controls.
A geo-based "Search this area" function lets users query directly from the map viewport for intuitive spatial exploration. Pagination follows a seamless "Load more" pattern that keeps the experience fluid.
Property detail pages
Each listing has a dedicated page featuring a multi-image gallery with branded watermarks, floor plan displays, structured metadata, and rich editorial descriptions. An inline inquiry form comes pre-populated with the property reference code, minimizing friction between browsing and conversion. Breadcrumb navigation maintains clear context throughout the listing hierarchy.
Five-language internationalization
The entire application supports five languages across all content layers — listings, page copy, UI components, navigation, and dynamic data. Language switching is accessible globally from the header, and the URL structure reflects the active locale for clean, SEO-friendly routing per language.
Supported languages: English, Greek, Chinese Simplified, German, and Hebrew.
Content architecture
The site is organized into clearly scoped sections:
- Homepage — cinematic full-screen hero, featured listings carousel, company values, service overview, and collapsible FAQ
- About — editorial company story
- Services — six service pillars presented through icon-driven cards
- Careers — talent acquisition across departments
- Contact — structured forms with spam protection
- FAQ — comprehensive question/answer page
- Property Valuation — dedicated request flow wired directly into navigation
Design and visual identity
The visual language is refined and consistent — a dark navy and white palette, generous whitespace, and high-quality photography throughout. Each section carries a contextually matched full-width hero image, and property photos display a uniform branded watermark.
Typography, spacing, and component design maintain cohesion across every page. The layout is fully responsive, transitioning from a desktop navigation bar to a mobile slide-out drawer with touch-friendly property cards.
