Custom Lobby Display System with Live MLS Listings for Coastal Realty
Coastal Realty Ltd. - Real Estate Brokerage, BC
The Problem
Coastal Realty Ltd., a Century 21 affiliate, wanted a way to make their office lobby work harder for them. Their reception area had nothing to show walk-in clients — no live listings, no agent profiles, no brand presence. The team was managing seasonal promotions and lobby content manually with no system in place, and they had no way to display live MLS listings to prospective buyers walking through the door.
Our Solution
Live MLS Listing Display
We built a real-time property listing carousel that pulls live data directly from the MLS/DDF (Digital Data Feed), displaying current listings with high-resolution photo collages, pricing, property details, and QR codes so walk-in clients can immediately access full listing information on their phone. The display updates automatically as listings change, so staff never have to manually manage what's on screen.
Agent Profiles and Seasonal Overlays
The system rotates through agent profile cards, showcasing the Coastal Realty team to every visitor who walks through the door. We integrated AI-powered seasonal overlay generation so the display automatically updates with holiday and seasonal themes throughout the year, keeping the lobby fresh without any manual effort from the team.
Admin Panel and Content Management
We built a full admin console that allows non-technical staff to manage display intervals, upload custom seasonal images, and control what content appears on screen. A regional news ticker pulls live local headlines to keep the display dynamic, and the system was designed from the ground up for unattended operation — it runs reliably all day without anyone monitoring it.
The Result
Coastal Realty's lobby now runs a fully automated, professional display system that showcases live listings, highlights their agents, and presents a polished Century 21 brand experience to every walk-in client. The office team no longer spends time managing lobby content manually, and prospective buyers can immediately engage with current listings the moment they walk in the door.
"Our lobby used to be just a waiting room. Now it's working for us every hour the office is open. Ripan built exactly what we described and it's been running perfectly."
