Laravel

PropGrowth API — Provider-Agnostic Real-Estate API

2026

Overview

About the project

A reusable back end for PropGrowth’s web, native and partner front ends. /api/v1 property, community, market-stats and mortgage-calculator endpoints sit on thin controllers, FormRequests, DTOs and API Resources. The Utah provider is bound in the container and cached, a queued job refreshes market reports, and city data is pushed to the Megaphone content platform.

Challenges & solutions

Challenges

01Tying the API to one MLS feed would force a rewrite for every new market
02The upstream feed is slow and rate-limited

Solutions

01Controllers depend only on services and DTOs; the Utah client is swappable through the service container
02Cached provider calls plus a queued market-report refresh job

All Projects Work with me on something like this
