Facts

Purpose: Frontstead Kit is an open-source, MLS-ready development kit for building branded real-estate portals, including portals for golf, waterfront, and other niche lifestyle markets.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Components: The kit includes a Next.js public portal, an Express 5 and Prisma REST API, and a separate RESO Web API synchronization worker.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Portal features: The public portal supports property search, listing pages, inquiries, consumer accounts, and favorites.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
MLS integrations: The RESO Web API connector lists MLS Grid, Trestle (CoreLogic/Cotality), Bridge Interactive, and Spark API (FBS) as supported vendors.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Search: Typesense is optional for typo-tolerant search, and the kit falls back to PostgreSQL search when Typesense is not configured.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Requirements: The kit requires Node.js 22.12 and PostgreSQL; Redis and Typesense are optional.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Deployment: Docker Compose is the documented portable deployment baseline, and Frontstead says the kit does not assume a specific platform.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Compliance controls: MLS display controls default to off, and an unregistered MLS board fails at configuration load rather than assuming that attribution is unnecessary.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Security boundary: The agent API is disabled by default; Frontstead says keeping unused routes unmounted reduces avoidable attack surface.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Commercial CRM features: The separately licensed Agent HQ adds contacts, transactions, tasks, campaigns, market reports, AI chat, CMA report generation, and Gmail and Google Calendar integration.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Support: The documentation describes the kit as community-supported and directs users to public repository issues for reproducible defects and feature requests.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
Intended users: Frontstead says it works with developers and agencies deploying the kit for brokerages and niche markets.frontstead.com · 4 Oct 2026
