Zyprus is a comprehensive property platform, the analog of zillow.com and zoopla.co.uk for Cyprus region.
Why Drupal was chosen:
Flexible and extendable basis was needed.
Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome):
Zyprus goal is to help users with better-informed decision making regarding real estate financial operations like
- purchasing,
- selling,
- renting
It's the first on-line real estate database in Cyprus where estate agents can list properties, which visitors view on a map showing their location. This type of technology was first used by Zillow in the USA and then Zoopla in the UK.
To find properties for sale or rent user inserts the name of the town, village or area where he's looking to buy/rent and search. All the properties for sale in the area are shown on a Google map.
Advanced features include:
- Dynamically filled catalogue of real estate objects;
- Advanced search for apartment seekers (like find homes based on travel time from user place of interest, or drawing the search area);
- Calculator for realty items cost, processing various parameters (property type, land size, etc.);
- Affordability calculator, processing users financial data to suggest the property they are able to purchase
Product database (MySQL) is replenished daily by a vast number of estate agents.
AWS services (S3, EC2, ECS, RDS, Elasticache, Route53) are used to support the product.
