Niche real estate listing site?

I started using Square Online to promote my knife sharpening service with limited sales. Having built this, I now wonder if could start a second website for a different company unrelated. I have an idea for a real estate listing service that would target a niche market. One is not being served even by huge companies like Realtor-dot-com or Zillow. Could I do something like this with Square online? How would my customers be able to upload pictures or videos of their properties? Would the site be limited to how much storage it can access on Square's servers?

@Jayv2251 I can say that the only way to accomplish this would be a custom solution that you pay someone to do and use square to process payments.  Real estate is highly regulated and if you are brokering the sale of any property, you must be licensed.  If customers are uploading photos and you using this for listings/consignment, then I don't think the system was ever designed for that type of use case scenario.  You could have someone e-mail, share link, etc to get customer items like a consignment store, but you would be doing the uploading etc.

 

But, I would just caution you, listing any real estate (real property) is regulated in every state.

The idea I'm thinking of I'm not brokering anything. It's more like a niche version of Facebook Market Place or Craigslist real estate listings.
