Customer Profile Scraping for Real Estate Industry

Azati Labs developed a progressive web scraping platform for a US-based real estate firm. The solution scrapes customer data from various websites and compiles it into a single, interactive dashboard. The project aimed to help real estate agents gain deeper insights into potential customers before they sign contracts, while adhering to strict data privacy laws in Northern California.

Motivation

Real estate agents struggle to get complete and accurate client information before signing contracts, wasting time and risking misinformed decisions. Our objective was to create a platform that automates data collection from multiple sources, bypasses privacy restrictions, and aggregates it into reliable customer profiles, reducing uncertainty and improving lead qualification.

Main Challenges

Challenge 01
Website Restrictions and Privacy Policies

The websites targeted for scraping imposed strict privacy policies and actively monitored abnormal behavior. Detection could result in account or IP bans, making reliable data extraction extremely challenging. Our team had to research user-tracking mechanisms and develop algorithms that mimic normal user behavior to avoid detection.

#1
Challenge 02
JavaScript Rendering and Resource-Intensive Pages

Modern websites use JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue to generate content dynamically, which traditional scrapers cannot handle. Rendering these pages required a dedicated, multithreaded Golang-based engine using WebLoop to efficiently process JavaScript-heavy content without crashing or slowing down the system.

#2
Challenge 03
Data Matching and Aggregation Complexity

Collected data often contained common names or incomplete profiles, making it difficult to correctly identify the right customer. We implemented intelligent matching algorithms that considered usernames, emails, education info, and natural language similarities, combined with partial manual verification to ensure accurate profiles.

Our Approach

Bypassing Privacy Restrictions
We developed algorithms to simulate normal user behavior, combined with proxy rotation and multiple accounts, to bypass detection and prevent bans, ensuring continuous and reliable data collection.
Leveraging Golang and WebLoop for Scalability
Golang was used for its multithreading and concurrency capabilities. WebLoop enabled efficient JavaScript rendering, allowing the scraper to process modern dynamic websites without failures, even on resource-intensive pages.
Intelligent Data Matching
An initial ML-assisted algorithm helped match records across websites, reducing manual effort. The system evaluated similarities in usernames, emails, and other fields, allowing agents to manually verify only the most ambiguous cases.
Phased Development
The project was developed in stages: pre-alpha scripts for initial scraping, alpha integration into a single system, and MVP 1.0 featuring a Vue.js dashboard and basic matching functionality. Feedback from the client guided subsequent improvements.
