About this plugin
Property listings, search and enquiries for an estate or letting agency. The
fields on a property follow the market you set: a UK agency gets tenure and
council tax band, a Spanish agency community fees and the cadastral reference,
an American agency HOA fees and an MLS number.
Everything described below is in this plugin and works without paying anybody.
What it does
- Listings. Unlimited properties, for sale, to rent or short let, with
photographs, floorplans, key selling points and every field a portal asks for.
- Search. Filters that run against a flat index, so ten filters is still one
query. Distance from a point, or an area the visitor draws on the map.
- Maps. Self-hosted. No third-party script and no API key. An owner who does
not want the exact position published gets a shaded circle, and the search
still works correctly.
- Enquiries and clients. One record per person, however they arrived.
- Shortlists. A visitor saves the properties they like and comes back to
them, with or without registering.
- Area guides, written by hand.
- CSV import and export, both ways, with a mapping screen.
- Structured data for search engines, on every property.
- Privacy tools: the export and erase requests WordPress asks plugins to
answer, covering the records this plugin keeps.
- Your own website: pages, menus, a front page and a staff list, so an
agency can put a site together without a page builder.
What it does not include
No login lockout, no firewall, no malware scanner, no SEO fields, no caching,
no contact-form builder. Those belong at the edge or in one plugin that does
them properly.
A paid add-on exists
uk. It adds the
viewings calendar and bookings, the message centre, QR codes, branded
particulars, portal feed importers and de-duplication, partner agencies and
fee splits, applicant matching and alerts, Elasticsearch and the AI features.
It also adds the knowledgebase, with sixty-three articles written for clients
and for staff.

External services
The plugin contacts nothing at all unless you switch something on, and nothing
is contacted on activation or on a schedule.
Geocoding (off by default). When you enable it, the address of a property
you save is sent to the geocoding service you nominate so it can be placed on
a map. The default is Nominatim, run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation: one
request per second, and every answer cached for a year.

Map tiles. On a page where you place a map, the visitor’s browser fetches
map images directly from the tile service set in Property > Settings > Maps,
org. The request comes from the visitor’s
browser and carries their IP address and the area of the map being viewed.

that screen and press a button to download a region pack. The screen lists
what is sent before you press anything: the address of your site, and an email

code, and they are served by us.
