EstateCraft turns WordPress into a real estate website: list properties with all their details, let visitors search them by price, rooms and location on a list or a map, and show your agents and agencies. It works with block themes and classic themes, and everything is free.

EstateCraft is the new version of WP Smart Property. Existing properties, their pages and their addresses move over automatically when you update.

Property details

Price with rental period (“£1,200 / month”) or “price on request”, in your currency and number format.
Bedrooms, bathrooms (halves allowed), parking, living and land area in square feet or square metres, year built, energy class and your own reference number.
Address with a map pin: drag it on an OpenStreetMap map, or let EstateCraft find it from the address. You can hide the exact address; visitors then only see the area.
Photo gallery, floor plans, video and virtual tour links, open house times and private notes.
Custom fields: add your own (text, number, choice list, yes/no, date), show them on property pages and use them as search filters.
Property types, statuses (for sale, for rent, sold, rented), categories, locations (country, region, city) and features.

Property pages

A photo gallery with a full-screen viewer, price and status, key facts, features, a details table, floor plans, video, map, open houses and the agents’ contact details.
Share and print buttons, and similar properties.
Structured data for search engines (schema.org RealEstateListing, breadcrumbs), and share previews when no SEO plugin is active.

Search and map

Filters for keyword (including the reference number), location, type, sale or rent, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, area, features and custom fields.
Results as a list, a map, or both side by side, with price pins, clustering and “search as I move the map”.
Results update without reloading the page, the address bar always holds a link to the current search, and Back and Forward work. Everything also works without JavaScript.

Agents and agencies

Agent and agency profiles with photo, phone, email, website, licence and languages, each with their listings.
An Estate agent role (manages only their own listings) and an Estate manager role (manages everything, without access to site settings).

Blocks and templates

18 blocks, including Property Search, Search Results, Property Listings, Featured Property, Agents, Gallery, Map and Details, and patterns for home and search pages.
Templates for property, archive, agent and agency pages that you can edit in the Site Editor. Classic themes get matching templates, which a theme can override in yourtheme/estatecraft/.

Coming next

Inquiry and viewing forms, favourites and saved searches with email alerts, a mortgage calculator, and a front-end portal where agents submit and manage their own listings.

External services

EstateCraft uses two services from the OpenStreetMap project. Both can be changed or turned off in Properties Settings Maps.

Map tiles. Maps on your site load their images from the OpenStreetMap tile servers (tile.openstreetmap.org), or from the tile provider you enter in the settings. When a visitor views a map, their browser requests the tiles from that server, which receives the visitor’s IP address and the map area shown. Only pages with a map do this. OpenStreetMap tile usage policy, privacy policy.
Address lookup. To place map pins from addresses, your server sends a property’s street address, postcode and location to Nominatim (nominatim.openstreetmap.org): when an editor clicks “Find address on the map”, and in the background for properties that have an address but no pin. No visitor data is sent. Results are cached for 30 days and requests are limited to one per second. Nominatim usage policy, privacy policy.
