Over the last few months, I noticed that real estate has become our biggest use case and a lot of our feature requests have also come from our real estate business users. So we have been working on a new premium template that was designed based on the Zillow's map interface.
So, you have a real estate business and need to build a map like Zillow’s?
With No Code Map App, you can make a Zillow like real estate listing map in 3 simple steps:
Pick the "real estate" map template
Import your data with spreadsheet, Google Sheets, Airtable or Webflow
Customise the map to suit your use case and branding
Step 1 - Select template
In the "Template" section, simply select the premium Real estate template.
This template was designed and built to rival industry leading maps like Zillow's, where you can:
show your listing in two columns
allow users to share each listing
custom filters generated based on your data like "Price", "Home Type", "Amentities" etc
custom calls-to-action to supercharge your lead generation

Step 2 - Import data
Once you have loaded the template, now you can feed in your data. In "Data" section, you can import your data in 4 different ways:
Copy and paste from your spreadsheet
Sync with Google Sheets
Sync with Airtable
Sync with Webflow CMS
If you are syncing your database, then you can also setup auto-data sync which means you won't have to sign back in to update your map data.

Once your data has been imported, you will see a screen where you can select which data fields from your dataset you would like to use for your map.

Our builder will then automatically map your data and everything will be auto-generated, including image, audio, map filters, calls-to-action etc.
Step 3 - Customise
Now the fun part - customise your map! And it is super simple, all you have to do click and click, no coding and no drag and drop.
You can customise almost everything on your map, including side bar list view, map filters, pop up box, calls-to-action, colour, font, marker, zoom level, language translation and more!

Publish your map anywhere
You can embed your map by using the embed code we provide. You can embed your map anywhere on the web.
