WP Realty

<p>Jared Ritchey Design Presents, WP Featured for WordPress Real Estate Blogging at its best. Developed originally for our client use only, we have released this tool as a contribution to the WordPress community in support of the Worlds best Real Estate website platform, WordPress. This plugin provides blog website owners with a truly easy to manage easy to integrate way for featuring property listings in their posts and pages.  Ideal for the Real Estate, Automotive, Furniture, or any gallery type product related site, this plugin makes featuring products a breeze.</p>
<p>Tested with version 2.7.1 and WordPress MU, the plugin can support hundreds of featured listings and can be displayed or presented based entirely on user defined criteria providing the criteria is searchable. Even though this plugin was most beneficial in the hands of developers and web designers we have added the first version of a templated system to allow a relatively novice user the ability to customize the look and feel of the charted layouts. This does not mean that we have stopped supporting developers.  This plug-in does require OpenRealty 2.5.6 or above.</p>

<li>Where are you planning to use the featured listing? A page or a post.</li>
<li>Its BEST TO put the WordPress READMORE tag above the listings tag because it can make your site real long if following a standard blog format.</li>

<h3>What Kind Styling Can I Really Do</h3>
<ul>
<li>The fact is this, we built this for our clients originally and design was first on our mind. Every element is rendered based on the template you create, in our demo we use div tags for wrapping them so styling has a great many potential avenues.</li>
<li>Styling can be customized to be animated but I have not yet included that code.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Features</h3>

<p>Basic Search is a search bar which allows the user to enter in an address, zip code, MLS#, subdivision or City. This is a great search for a homepage or landing page.</p>
<p>Advanced Search allows users to search by any criteria including price range, square feet, number of bedrooms and even year built. They can sort results by price, location, type and more. This search type is better suited for your internal pages since it requires form fields for the user to fill out.</p>
<p>Map Search allows users to view listings on an interactive map. They can browse around a location, clicking on properties they’d like more information on.</p>
<p>Target your Niche. The SEO RETS plugin also allows you to set default searches for your customers based on any of the MLS fields available. Target your niche with a preset list of waterfront properties or golf communities. Other options include: cities or communities, listings by builder, school, price range, agent ID or office ID.</p>
<p>The SEO RETS listing pages have been optimized to be search engine friendly. This means that your website has a great chance of ranking highly in search engine results pages. The property address is displayed in the page URL and page title.</p>
<p>Each page displays a large main image and gallery of photos. Everything is clickable keeping your users engaged in your site. On these pages you can also add virtual tours and other information.</p>
<p>From here users can skip to the city or subdivision page to continue browsing listings. They can also save to their favorites, view on a map or download a pdf, which include your brand, QR code and phone number for lead generation.</p>
<p>Our customizable plugin allows you to take advantage of many lead generation features throughout your site. The plugin allow you to configure either forced or requested registration from your users. Or, set how many properties a user can view before the lead capture pops up.</p>
<p>Our form feature allows you to customize lead capture fields to fit your needs. On property landing pages, the inline “Property Info Request” form gets 8X more leads than sidebar forms. You can add a “Schedule a Showing” call to action anywhere on your site.</p>
<p>The plugin allows you to keep track of when users use the “Save to Favorites” button, “Email Listing to a Friend” or the “New Listing Alerts” button.</p>
<p>When a new lead is captured through the site you can configure the plugin to send you a new lead email or text notification right to your phone. The Captcha spam protection feature means that you won’t be bombarded with irrelevant spam emails or texts. All leads are saved to a database for easy viewing via the plugin dashboard in WordPress. You can then export those leads into Excel or CSV formats.</p>
<p>The SEO RETS plugin includes responsive templates that conform to your theme. The plugin has been optimized for mobile phones and tablets making it available to your customers no matter where they are.</p>
<p>Customize your SEO RETS plugin to match your brand, logo and more. Show an agent roster page and pull specific agent’s listings to it. Get creative, the customization of the plugin is up to you.</p>
