About the Client
UrbanNest Realty is a fast-growing real estate brokerage with 5,000+ agents across Texas, known for adopting technology to give their agents an edge.
The Challenge
Their on-premise listing platform couldn't handle peak traffic, virtual tours were laggy, and infrastructure costs were spiraling. They needed a cloud migration strategy.
