RealHouse Android App

An app for for sale by owner buyers and sellers to exchange information and participte in open houses.

By Kate Byars

Description

Created during my tenure at Epicodus, Portland in the Android Track

To View This Project

You should:
Clone the git repo to your computer.
Open in Android Studio.
I used Firebase to authenticate users and keep databases. You may need to go to ![Description]this site(https://developers.google.com/android/guides/client-auth) to get a SHA key in order to open this in Android studio.

Although the traditional housing market is well served by apps like Zillow and Trulia, there are very few automated resources for sellers and buyers who want to do business without a realtor. This app links both parties. Currently, I am working on the MVP as my capstone project. Features in progress, additional features, and features which would be implemented past the capstone, are outlined below.

Wireframing and Thought Process

This project began with a series of wireframes and user personas, as outlined below.

I determined two personas : The buyer and the seller, and a short list of features they might both want. Description

I created a mock up of what each screen would look like: Splash Activity and Activity Login. Description

Main Activity and List My House Activity. Description

House Detail Page and the overall look of the app. Description
