Haven - Advanced Laravel Real Estate Management System

Haven is a premium, multi-role Real Estate Management System built on Laravel. It is designed for real estate agencies, property owners, and independent agents to list, manage, and sell or rent properties seamlessly. Built with a robust package-based modular architecture, Haven offers high performance, maintainability, and easy scalability.

How It Works

Haven supports four distinct user roles, creating a complete real estate ecosystem:

• Admin: Full control over the platform, users, transactions, and settings.
• Agents: Can list properties, manage inquiries, schedule visits, and earn commissions.
• Owners: Can submit their properties, track their status, and receive payouts.
• Customers: Can browse properties, save to wishlist, chat with agents, schedule site visits, and make milestone payments (Token/Final/Rent).

Key Features

• Phased Payment System: Innovative milestone payment workflow allowing customers to pay a "Token" (booking amount) and later the "Final Payment" or "Rent".
• Live Chat & Inquiry System: Real-time communication between customers and agents directly on the platform.
• Site Visit Scheduling: Customers can easily request and schedule property viewings directly from the chat interface.
• Advanced Commission & Payout Logic: Automated split of payments between the Admin, Agent Commissions, and Owner Payouts based on dynamic milestones.
• Multiple Payment Gateways: Integrated with Stripe and Bank Transfers with automated financial synchronization.
• SEO Optimized: Built-in SEO settings for individual properties to boost organic reach.
• Role-Based Dashboards: Intuitive, data-rich dashboards tailored for Admins, Agents, Owners, and Customers.
