Real Estate Property Management Application Using Coldfusion

ColdFusion is a commercial, enterprise level, application server product from Adobe. ColdFusion is designed to be a high availability, rapid application development platform for web applications. In addition to technically superior features what make ColdFusion more useful and relevant are its tight integration with Flex/Flash/AIR and other Adobe technologies. Plus in-built monitoring tools and frequent releases make it a favorite among enterprises.

At Mindfire we have been working in ColdFusion for a long time now and over the years we have accumulated a lot of knowledge in the technologies and frameworks involved. We have hands on experience in working in frameworks like ColdBox, FuseBox, MachII and ColdSpring. Having worked for so many years in ColdFusion application and ColdFusion Web Application Development, we know the benefits of using this technology for application development. Instead of highlighting all the features of CF let me put up a small write up on a real life client situation. This would give you a real life idea on what all can be done using CF.

Our client, who is a US based Real Estate Marketing company, had come to us with the following need: They wanted to build a Real Estate Property Management application which should have good search features, plus should have Social Media Integration and chat facility and option to show property images to end users in Google map.


The solution we gave for the search index part is explained below:

We used IDX search. This part of the application is built with the IDX Search engine that allows users to search any property related information. One advantage of this search engine is that user can save any search in this web site. In addition to storing search results IDX search engine has advance functionalities like comparing different property and sharing property information in different social networking sites like -Facebook, twitter, Pinterest. In addition to the search part the application had a lot of other features too, for example the Control Panel, which contained the search option.

This part deals with the managing of all real estate customers by admin (agents/offices) and super admin. Using this module admin can directly track the activity of every user on the site. It keeps track of the user activity in the user’s timeline, a feature similar to the timeline feature of Facebook. This Control Panel has the functionality to publish any message for any user or to different admins. Different admin have different access rights to view user’s data and answer their query. It uses different scheduling algorithm for Agent-Lead (customer) assignment.By using control panel one supper admin can create different web sites for a third party vendor and can provide access to control panel to manage their search engine and the third party vendor will have their own agent and lead.


The technologies that we had used for executing this project are:

Server Side Language: ColdFusion 9
Database: MS SQL Server 2008, SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS), SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS)
Scripting Language: Kendo UI, jQuery


In addition to the above we have done a host of ColdFusion projects and in all cases clients were very happy with the final product that was built and delivered. You can hire Coldfusion developers for your existing Projects.

To know more about our expertise in Custom ColdFusion development services or Hire Coldfusion developers to fulfill your coldfusion requirements, please contact us at sales[at]mindfiresolutions[.]com or call 1-248-686-1424. We will be glad to help you.

Why customize DNN Modules?

Customizing DNN modules sure needs skills in the framework. DotNetNuke as it is popularly called is one of very robust Content Management System (CMS) product having lots of features which helps to build a complete product quickly and without a lot of programming hassles. One can build his application/product to support his business with the free version of DotNetNuke (All versions of DotNetNuke are available free at dotnetnuke.com website).

And if one needs to develop something more sophisticated or personalized than what DNN officially provides in the free version, he would need to go for the Professional version of DNN. The professional version of Dot Net Nuke comes with a host of additional features such as DotNetNuke Document Management, Advanced Content Approval Process, Granular User Permissions, Mobile Website templates, Azure and Amazon S3 Support etc.

But to be able to use these tools effectively, it sure needs advanced DotNetNuke Development skills to customize the application build. There are many third party modules available freely in the web.
