Powering CommissionsHub — A New Frontier in Real Estate Tech
Transforming property transactions through verified connections and seamless tech.
The Background
When CommissionsHub approached LabFox, they weren't just looking to build a real estate app. They had a bold mission: to redefine how realtor buyers and sellers interact with listings and each other. Their key differentiator? Transparent access to a powerful but often hidden data point — commissions earned per property. They envisioned a modern, mobile-first platform where real estate professionals could list, verify, and explore properties while staying fully informed. And they wanted to do it fast, securely, and with a user experience that matched the best in consumer tech. With a roadmap in place for early 2024, CommissionsHub needed a development partner who could go beyond just writing code. They needed a team that understood product strategy, UX finesse, and real estate compliance. That's when they partnered with LabFox.
The Partnership
LabFox hit the ground running with a dedicated team of product strategists, full-stack developers, UI/UX designers, and security & compliance consultants. Together, we translated CommissionsHub's vision into a detailed build plan — and chose to develop a Progressive Web App (PWA) to enable faster go-to-market, seamless cross-device performance, and app-like usability without the friction of app store deployment.

Key Features Delivered:
Secure Onboarding & License Verification
A multi-layer authentication system to ensure only licensed realtors could access the platform, with real-time license checks and manual verification for added security.
Intuitive Property Listings
Verified sellers could quickly list properties with details such as location, photos, seller commission percentage, and current listing status.
Advanced Property Search for Buyers
Realtor-buyers could filter listings by region, location, commission rates, and other key attributes, helping them make faster, data-driven decisions.
Cross-Platform PWA Development
Built for seamless usage across mobile, tablet, and desktop browsers with near-native performance, ensuring accessibility without download friction.
Tackling Challenges Together
While LabFox handled much of the overhead Sarus sought to avoid, the partnership was not without its hurdles:
Authentication Complexity
Integrating national databases and building a secure, privacy-compliant verification system took precision and smart data engineering.
Frictionless Onboarding UX
We balanced a clean UI with the need for detailed data input, creating a flow that reduced user drop-off while maintaining listing integrity.
Native vs. PWA Debate
LabFox guided CommissionsHub through the decision-making process, ultimately choosing a PWA for speed, maintainability, and cross-platform reach.
The Result
In just a few months, CommissionsHub launched a fully operational, secure, and scalable real estate platform built to serve verified professionals. With its PWA foundation, users could instantly access the app from any device — no downloads, no delays. The application allowed realtor sellers and buyers to connect, list, search, and transact with new levels of transparency and trust. From professional license verification to smart search tools, the platform set a new bar for what real estate apps could offer.
What's Next
With Lift-Pro successfully launched, Sarus is exploring next-gen features:
Automated license re-verification
Built-in marketing & CRM tools
AI-driven matching algorithms for listings
The groundwork is laid for Sarus to scale into a category leader — and LabFox remains a key partner on that journey.
