House-hunters want three things: a fast search, details that feel trustworthy, and an easy way to ask for a tour. We build real estate sites inside WordPress that do all three—map search that flies, listing pages that answer questions, and forms that route leads to the right agent.
A quick search bar. Filters that make sense—price, beds/baths, type, neighborhood, school zone, pets, parking. Results update fast without reloading the whole page. Map and list stay in sync. Each listing page shows the facts first: photos, price, status, key features, floor area, HOA/fees, taxes, and a clean map. Then the story: highlights, nearby places, and open-house info. “Ask a question” and “Schedule a tour” are always in reach.
A tidy dashboard to add and edit listings, set status (active, pending, sold), schedule open houses, and mark featured properties. Bulk import from a spreadsheet when you’re starting out; bulk edits when prices change. Clear lead routing: assign by office, area, or listing agent. Simple moderation for photos and remarks. Role-based access so staff, agents, and partners only see what they should.
Where board rules allow, we can connect an approved IDX/MLS feed through a compliant vendor. We follow your association’s branding and display rules. If IDX isn’t available, we’ll model a direct listings workflow that still looks polished and is easy to manage. Either way, data stays consistent and pages stay fast.

Two simple paths on every listing: Ask a question and Schedule a tour. Form submissions route to the right person—listing agent, on-duty agent, or office inbox—with auto-reply and calendar links. We can add lightweight screening (financing, timeframe) without scaring people off.
Publish open-house dates that show up on the listing, the search grid, and the site-wide calendar. For tour requests, we can block times to avoid double-booking and send reminders so no one misses a showing.
Give each office and agent a clean profile page with bio, photo, current listings, and recent sales. Keep brand elements consistent while letting agents add a human touch. If you sell new builds, we can add “communities” with plans, elevations, and availability.
See which neighborhoods people search most, which filters they use, and which listings convert. Track lead sources, open-house RSVPs, and agent response times. Export clean CSVs for your broker or connect a lightweight dashboard if you want daily snapshots.
Your site, your domain, your content. Listings live alongside community guides, school info, and buyer/seller resources. Blog posts and neighborhood pages link naturally into the search and listing experience. If you add a companion app later, WordPress remains the point of truth so listings and saved searches stay in sync.
Every market and data source is different, but these ranges help with planning:
Add to an existing site: $2,500–$8,000
Search, filters, maps, listing templates, lead forms, open houses, agent/office pages, and baseline reports. Typical timeline 5–10 weeks.
Part of a new website:
Included in your website project. See WordPress websites for ranges and timing.
What affects cost? IDX/MLS vendor and rules, number of listing types, custom fields, polygon search, saved-search alerts, agent/office structure, and any custom dashboards. We outline this in a one-page plan before you commit.
We import a sample set, tune search and maps, and run end-to-end tests: browse → save search → email alert → tour request → agent routing. Your team gets a short walkthrough and a simple guide for the tasks they’ll do most: add a listing, change a price, schedule an open house, and export leads.
Email/SMS: alerts, confirmations, and appointment reminders
Calendars/CRM: route leads and block showings on agent calendars
Analytics: track search behavior and conversion paths
Apps: extend to iOS/Android later with WordPress as the point of truth
Can we mix IDX listings with our own exclusives?
Yes. We’ll keep the display consistent and mark exclusives clearly.
Will search still be fast with thousands of listings?
Yes. We index fields properly and optimize images so filtering stays smooth.
Can we gate “advanced features” for registered users?
If you want to, yes—saved searches and private remarks can sit behind a simple login.
What about fair housing and MLS display rules?
We follow your board’s guidelines and keep templates compliant.
Can agents manage their own listings?
Yes. Role-based access lets agents update their pages and listings without breaking brand layout.
