Overview
Montesol Realty is a Florida real estate brokerage built around its Realtors, offering 100% commission, weekly training, and full marketing support. Founded by Altinay Prado Cancio and Santiago Monteagudo, the brokerage needed a complete digital platform to match what it already offered in person.
The project: a full-stack brokerage platform with a public marketing site (bilingual ES/EN), Montesol University with 19 professional development courses, a searchable Realtor directory with 166+ active agents, live MLS/IDX property search via RealtyFeed, and a private Realtor Portal with Supabase auth, profile management, and an AI-powered career plan generator.

The Challenge
Montesol had no digital platform, everything was fragmented. Realtors couldn't access their training catalog, update their public profiles, showcase the brokerage's value to new recruits, or let clients search properties, all from one place. The relationship between the brokerage and its agents existed entirely offline.
"How do you build a platform that serves two fundamentally different audiences at once: prospective clients searching for a property or a Realtor, and licensed agents evaluating whether to join, or stay with, the brokerage?"
The brokerage needed more than a website. It needed complete digital infrastructure: public-facing to attract buyers and recruit Realtors, private-facing to serve and retain current agents.
The Approach
Two Layers, One Platform
The solution was a unified platform with two distinct layers sharing one brand and design system, but serving completely different user journeys.
The public layer, the marketing site, handles the brand story, the "Why Montesol" value proposition for prospective Realtors, Montesol University's public-facing catalog, the Realtor directory, live MLS property search, and a join application form.
The private layer, the Realtor Portal, is gated behind Supabase auth. Inside it, active Realtors can manage their public-facing profile (with a visibility and publishing workflow), access the full course catalog, and use the AI career planner to generate a personalized action plan based on their current goals.
Key Design Decisions
AI Career Planner in the Realtor Portal
Inside the private portal, Realtors describe their professional goals and current obstacles, then receive a personalized 30/90-day career plan. The AI surfaces relevant courses from Montesol University's actual catalog, not generic advice, but real content the brokerage has available. The tool saves generated plans so Realtors can return to them. It was not in the original brief; it came out of a conversation about what Realtors actually needed once they logged in.
Live MLS/IDX Integration
Property search pulls live listings via RealtyFeed IDX, buyers get real, current inventory instead of a static placeholder grid. Realtors get a credible public tool to share directly with clients. The integration handled filtering by city, property type, bedrooms, and price range across South Florida.
Montesol University Catalog
19 courses organized into 6 professional development tracks: Transaction Process, Financing & Mortgages, MLS & Professional Access, Investment & Commercial Real Estate, Legal & Insurance, and Marketing & Technology. Each course includes video access and downloadable PDF resources. The catalog is publicly visible to attract Realtor recruits; the content itself is locked behind the authenticated portal.
Built with AI: Lovable + Supabase
The full platform, public site, university catalog, Realtor directory, MLS property search, authentication, private portal, profile management system, and AI career planner, was built in Lovable with Supabase as the database and auth backend. RealtyFeed provided the MLS/IDX data feed. The entire build, from first component to production, was done without a separate engineering team.
"When a client says 'we need a website,' they often mean 'we need a platform.' Montesol taught me to map all user types first, Realtors, clients, admins, before touching any component. The complexity is manageable when the architecture is clear from the start."

What I Learned
"The AI career planner was not in the original brief. It came out of a conversation about what Realtors actually needed once they were inside the portal, not just a profile page, but something that actively helped them grow their business. The lesson: don't stop at the brief. The most valuable feature often appears one conversation later."
