Extending a Property Management System to Deliver New Experiences for Owners
C.I.A. Services, based in the USA, manages 50,000 properties for 150 clients. During their transition to digital operations, they faced a challenge: property owners required employee assistance to access information, adding to their workload. To tackle this, C.I.A. Services collaborated with Brocoders to develop an app, allowing homeowners and residents to communicate directly with their property owner's association.
Enhancing Condominium Management with a Communication Platform That Improves Living Quality
Brocoders teamed up with a Canadian entrepreneur to create a new version of their software that will meet their customers' needs for the long term. Our team helped develop CondoGenie, a condominium management and communication tool that over 550 condominium and HOA associations use today.
Joining the Team at AreaButler to Build a Geolocation Solution That Enhances Property Sales for Real Estate Agents
AreaButler is a German proptech startup that offers location analysis tools that examine and describe the environment of properties to appeal to potential buyers and renters. They needed a skilled full-stack developer to drive the development of their product. Working closely with the client in an iterative and Agile way, Brocoders blended into their team effortlessly.
ShineUp: ShineUp: Digitalizing the Entire Process of Renovating Apartments from Task Allocation to Completion
Oslo-based proptech company ShineUp provides a digital platform for apartment renovations. Their collaboration with Brocoders resulted in the development of their web platform, with additional support as a hired CTO, and the delivery of AI features.
Proptech platforms we modernized while they kept running
A live condo SaaS, rebuilt and upgraded without a pause
We moved CondoGenie's condo management software from GeniePad to a new platform and migrated 9 years of data run by run while the business stayed live. Since then we released a Ruby on Rails upgrade on Aug. 15, 2025, and the frontend toolchain's move to Node.js 24 LTS is under way between regular releases. CondoGenie case
React, Node.js, and NestJS in production
Lake runs a custom Next.js and NestJS app we built beside the WordPress pages that hold its search rankings. We built AreaButler's features on React and NestJS. CondoGenie runs React on Ruby on Rails. Lake case, AreaButler case
HOA and condo scale
CondoGenie serves 80,000 registered users across its associations, as of October 2026. For C.I.A. Services, an HOA management company with 50,000+ properties, we built MyRedDog, a progressive web app (PWA) for owners and residents to get answers without calling staff. CondoGenie case, C.I.A. Services case, HOA management software development
Years on one platform
We have worked on CondoGenie since 2018. AreaButler's founder said, after more than a year of work together: "Brocoders is fully part of our team." Alexander Timper, founder and CEO, AreaButler CondoGenie case, AreaButler case

We keep a new interface close to the screens people use every week, as on CondoGenie.
The rebuild loses pages that rank
We split the system and keep the content pages where they rank. Lake's homepage, blog, and city pages stayed on WordPress.

“After working together for 4 months Brocoders is fully part of our team. The service delivered is of very high quality. The execution is quick and includes a very close communication. In case of bugs the Brocoders team is super responsive and takes actions also late at night.”
"Software development is complex work that requires considering many points at the same time. The hardest thing, I guess, is to have the same vision of the product, when you are located in different countries. But I think that the team did their best at this point. They set new calls, drew new sketches and produced new specifications to match my requirements.
They listened to me and used various tools to get on the same page with me."
“I am very excited and thankful for the accomplished work. It was great to work with a so professional and well-organized team. All tasks were delivered on time and were well-tested by QA specialists and our users. Reddog backend isn’t ready for all functionality we need, so after finishing it, we return to work on this project with Brocoders and release the full version to production.”
"I had very great communication with the team. Upon launching the project, we were able to increase client satisfaction and provide our clients what they were asking for, improve their workflow as well as make the software more powerful and easier to use than the previous software that was developed."
“It seemed clear that Backbone could profit from an application that supports a large number of the processes, so everyone could find and save their information in the same place. The importance of the applications like these not only lies in advantages in regard to scalability, but also in more insights, unity and efficiency, and therefore a lower workload.“
"The platform has received positive feedback. For such an extensive, complicated project, Brocoders has taken scope changes in stride and has effectively implemented change requests. They're organized and communicative, even corresponding during after-hours. They're a flexible and patient partner."
Emmanuel Bukenya CEO and Fine, Renewable Energy Startup
"When we discussed our ideas, Brocoders reminded us to keep it simple. Usually, development companies want to work on complex projects. Brocoders’ leadership team told us to keep the product simple, which made it better. They also never guessed what we needed. All the other agencies that we interviewed took big chances and told us what they thought we needed. They’re a team of authentic listeners."
“Brocoders is a very productive and effective team. We were happy to meet them in Lagos, where they came to meet Gokada team and test application in a real-time.”

FAQ
What proptech software development services does Brocoders provide?
Brocoders provides proptech software development including custom property management systems, resident and client portals, electronic payment and accounting integrations, tenant screening tools, electronic rental and leasing applications, real estate CRM development, online maintenance ticketing systems, property inspection tools, financial reporting platforms, and AI agents for property management that work inside the rules you set. We work with funded early-stage proptech startups, scaling proptech businesses with technical debt or architecture challenges, and mature real estate enterprises that need to augment their engineering teams to accelerate product delivery. Our proptech work includes CondoGenie, Lake, AreaButler, and MyRedDog for C.I.A. Services. For a wider view of vendors, see our list of proptech software development companies.
What is the starting point for engaging Brocoders on a proptech project?
We recommend starting with a technical audit before committing to a full development engagement. The audit assesses your current technology stack, code quality, and architecture, delivering specific recommendations and practical fixes to address performance issues, scalability bottlenecks, and technical debt. It also lets us demonstrate our capabilities directly before you commit to a full team. The code audit costs $5,000 for 5 business days, or $9,900 for 10 business days on a platform 3 to 10 years old, and it produces immediate value whether or not you proceed with a full engagement.
What technical challenges does Brocoders solve for proptech companies?
Common technical challenges we solve for proptech clients include: removing the double data entry and multiple log-ins your customers complain about when the product doesn't sync with their PMS or accounting tools, eliminating technical debt that has accumulated from rapid early-stage development, improving application performance and scalability to support growth without infrastructure rewrites, upgrading outdated technology stacks that have become difficult to hire for or maintain, improving team delivery productivity through process improvements and code quality standards, and building new product capabilities such as AI agents with approvals, tenant portal features, and financial reporting tools. 60% of Brocoders staff are senior engineers, so we approach these challenges with the experience level they require.
What property management system features has Brocoders built?
Our proptech development experience covers the core feature set of property management platforms: resident and client portals with self-service maintenance request submission and status tracking, electronic rental and leasing applications with e-signature integration, tenant screening workflows with background check service integration, online rent payment processing with multiple payment method support, property inspection mobile applications for field inspectors using React Native, financial reporting dashboards with property-level and portfolio-level views, maintenance ticketing systems with assignment and escalation workflows, and real estate CRM tools for tracking leads, prospects, and owner relationships.
Named client examples include:
HOA Management Application for C.I.A. Services, a full-service HOA management company with approximately 150 clients and more than 50,000 properties across Houston and San Antonio, in business for 30+ years. Brocoders built an application allowing homeowners and community residents to directly access property information, documents, and services without requiring staff involvement.
CondoGenie, a condominium management platform for a Canadian client serving residents, condo boards, and property management companies.
AreaButler, a German PropTech startup for which Brocoders provided team augmentation, supporting a SaaS platform for personalized location analysis and presentation used by brokers, real estate consultants, property managers, and appraisers.
How does Brocoders structure proptech team engagements?
Proptech team engagements at Brocoders are structured with the team working exclusively for your product, with you managing the team directly. The initial team size starts from one full-stack developer and scales up as needed. We provide an all-inclusive fixed yearly rate divided into 12 equal monthly payments, which makes cost planning predictable. An Account Manager handles business and financial communication. The technical work requires a Product Owner or Tech Lead on your side to devote approximately 2 to 6 hours per iteration for requirement clarification and sprint review. We prepare a detailed communication plan after the engagement starts to establish the collaboration rhythm.
What AI capabilities does Brocoders implement for proptech clients?
We build AI agents into proptech products that act inside the product's rules: they answer tenant questions about maintenance status, payments and bookings, route requests to the right person, and hand anything outside their rules to staff for approval. Each action is logged with who approved it, and resident data stays in your own environment. We also build AI-powered document processing that extracts data from leases, inspection reports and financial statements into structured records. In products we worked on, Genie drafts announcements in CondoGenie's news module, AreaButler generated location texts with GPT, and Lake hosts get ChatGPT drafts of property descriptions, which they review and edit before publishing.
Can you build AI agents into our PMS product?
Yes, as agents that act inside your product's rules and leave decisions that matter to people. Genie drafts CondoGenie announcements from a short prompt and a manager publishes them; Lake hosts edit ChatGPT drafts of their property descriptions before they go live.
How do you handle payments, resident data and compliance?
Card payments go through a payment provider, never through your product: CondoGenie bills through Stripe, Rotessa and Xero, and MyRedDog sends owners to their bank's payment page. Resident data is split by role: MyRedDog has 4 access levels, from owner to staff. Fair housing and local rules come from your counsel; we build the rules they set into the product.
Can you build multi-tenant billing per unit or per plan?
Yes. CondoGenie runs 4 subscription tiers on one multi-tenant platform, with self-serve plan upgrades and prorated annual billing on Stripe.
Have you built PMS integrations?
Yes. On Lake we worked with the middleware's API team twice a week on the PMS sync and resolved the core sync issues. We also built a module that lets each host choose the channels a property appears on, such as Lake, Booking.com, or Airbnb. Before we quoted the Lake build, our CEO asked to speak with its integration partner.
How do you rebuild a platform without losing its users?
We move the data in runs while the old system keeps serving customers, and we keep the new interface close to the old screens. That is how CondoGenie moved off GeniePad.
Can you upgrade Rails or Node.js on a live SaaS without pausing releases?
Yes. We released CondoGenie's Rails upgrade in August 2025 between regular releases, and its frontend toolchain's move to Node.js 24 LTS runs the same way.
We manage properties. Is this page for us?
This page is for companies that build or sell proptech software, and for real estate companies that need engineers on their own product. If you manage properties or associations and need portals or tools on the system you run, see property management software development.
