Case Study: Better.com launches a multi-faceted home-bidding platform with Southleft

Better.com launches home bidding platform in record time with Southleft

Better.com, a digital homeownership company on the brink of its IPO, needed to rapidly develop a comprehensive platform for home bidding, mortgage exploration, and insurance offerings to bolster its market valuation. Southleft was tasked with building this multi-faceted solution against an exceedingly tight and dynamic deadline.

Southleft adopted an agile approach, using a monorepo structure and technologies like Next.js and React for rapid development. They integrated off-the-shelf solutions such as Airtable for user-friendly database management, OAuth for authentication, and Formspree for email functionalities. The final product was a resounding success, providing a platform for users to bid on homes and for realtors to receive real-time updates, which greatly satisfied the client and helped them exceed their project goals ahead of their IPO.
