Case Study: Real Estate All-Stars — Broker Competition Platform

Client Context

A regional real estate association launched “Brokers Got Talent” — a competition where brokers submit video pitches and receive public votes.

Problem

• No digital platform for contestant registration and video submission
• Vote counting done manually with fraud risk
• Payment for vote packages handled offline
• Needed fully bilingual (EN/AR) experience for regional audience

Solution

Built Real Estate All-Stars on Laravel 10:

• Phone OTP registration via BeonSMS
• Multi-stage video upload with php-ffmpeg processing
• Daily vote limits with interest toggling
• Fawaterak payment gateway for vote package purchases
• CMS-driven marketing pages with separate RTL/LTR CSS

Business Impact

Metric	Result
Registration	Paper forms → digital with OTP verification
Video submissions	Email/USB → 150MB online upload with staging
Vote integrity	Manual counting → system-enforced daily limits
Payments	Cash/offline → Fawaterak with webhook confirmation
Reach	Single language → full bilingual EN/AR platform
