🏠 EstateFlow - Multi User Real Estate Management System

EstateFlow is a full-stack Real Estate Management System built using the MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js).

The platform allows buyers, agents, and administrators to interact in a secure environment where users can browse properties, agents can manage listings, and administrators can oversee the entire platform.

This project demonstrates industry-level architecture, authentication, CRUD operations, image uploads, role-based authorization, responsive UI, and scalable backend APIs.
