With twenty-five years experience in real estate, Richard Uzelac
clearly understood the tough competitive challenges Real Estate and Mortgage professionals
face every day. He launched RealtyTech to empower these professionals with specific
tools, and one of the first services RealtyTech offered was building custom websites
to help them gain visibility and provide superior service to their clients. However,
with limited internal resources, they soon hit a wall on how many clients they could
service.
Growing the business while preserving RealtyTech's profitability was paramount for
Richard. This meant that significantly increasing personnel overhead by hiring a
lot of expensive full-time web developers was not a viable option. The expense of
outsourcing locally was above RealtyTech's budget limits.
Initially, RealtyTech chose teams in India to do the outsource
development. Unfortunately, some of their worst fears were realized: "We found the
work was poor in quality and the communication was appalling. I was ready to give
up on the whole overseas experience," recalled Richard.
So they looked for an offshore firm that was rooted here in the U.S.
They found Dimitri Nikouline and Murano Software. "I'd actually known Dimitri Nikouline
for about four or five years. In my experience, he was smart, hard working, honest
and dependable," Richard said. With its U.S. headquarters, Murano’s main development
facilities are in St. Petersburg, the Russian equivalent of Silicon Valley.
Murano engineer assigned to the project adapted to RealtyTech's schedule
and California time zone. Facilitating clear communication is the fact that the
Murano team all speak English. Even the time differential was not a problem during
production, as the regular interaction ensured that RealtyTech got the application
functionality they needed. Even the normal bugs and change of functionality requests
that are part of any development process were handled very quickly and efficiently,
both pre- and post-launch.
The Agent123 application developed by Murano is now one of RealtyTech's two cornerstone
products. "We love it because with Agent123 we can offer our clients high quality,
well-designed and rich featured websites for just $500, where before the cost for
an equivalent site was $2,000 or more."
"Murano followed our directions and really just created what we wanted,” Richard
Uzelac said. ”We got what we wanted, not what they could do, or what they thought
we should have."

We highly recommend Murano Software, and will continue to do so. They are honest. They do quality work and they deliver real value."

What we needed was an instant website builder that would be robust enough to provide
the features our clients required, yet fast and inexpensive enough to reach the
broader market," recalled Richard. "After researching the available products on
the market, though, I concluded that, in order to meet our unique needs, we would
have to build it. But our internal resources were already stretched thin, so we
decided to outsource."
