Build a Maintenance Request System for Real Estate

Property sales, rentals, and property management businesses. A maintenance request system solves a core problem: submit and track maintenance requests with assignment and status updates.

Real Estate professionals deal with managing multiple property listings across platforms and coordinating inspections and open homes. A purpose-built maintenance request system handles communication, status tracking, assignment, so you can focus on the work that actually matters.

MVP features (launch in 4-6 hours):

- Request form

- Status view

- Basic assignment

Advanced features (add later):

- Work orders

- Vendor management

- Preventive scheduling

- Analytics

This maintenance request system is moderate complexity, achievable in a focused sprint. We recommend starting with the MVP and iterating based on real user feedback from your real estate clients.
