I came a cross some discussion recently at some popular discussion forum, there is one entry that I can not forget till now, that guy was really annoyed because the can not find a good Real Estate design for his website, I don’t remember what’s his CMS platform, I am not sure if he is using WordPress or not, but I remember very well that he don’t like all Real Estate designs he have seen so far out there, he thing of it as designs for kinds, some designers of these days are adding tech touches to their designs, special effects and 3D stuff that makes the look of the site not real, not make sense to him!
Well, I some how agree with that, while designers try to make their best, but maybe they add more elements than a website need, maybe they make the design full of graphics and stuffed their design to show their talents when actually no need to do that. They just forgot that this is a business website, it’s not to show their design skills, they just need to make a good looking working website.
I am subscribed to ElegantThemes, and I just got Nick’s latest post about his new and awesome WordPress themes news, it’s a great collection on ElegantThemes now, it’s a must have indeed!
I can not say that there is no good and high quality Real Estate themes for WordPress, but it’s kind of expensive compared to the huge collection of ElegantThemes, so..

This kind of themes would be a good start to create eye-catching real estate website, it must be applied by Realtor’s out there! Hoping to create one of my own since I really love seeing minimalist design real estate websites.
Those minimalist clean designed themes would really captivates one’s attention in marriage with some good content, though I wanted to ask if how much would be the cost for an elegant estate theme designed if not a member?
Hi Dave,
Do you mean a custom design? If yes, I am actually mot accepting any design jobs this time. I apologize for that.
Thanks.
Yes sir, just like that one you’ve mentioned custom design, sad to know that you’re not accepting, hence I’m thankful for answering my query. Looking forward to read more post with you sir!
Well, I will say this. The Elegant Themes real estate them is beautiful.
They obviously have their own coders so that will certainly give them an extra layer of defense against hacks.
If a person doesn’t have time to learn how to manage their own scripts, then a service like elegant themes is definitely the way to go.

This is a nice steps on setting up new real estate websites. This elegantEstate is awesome.
Really , It is very good step to start making a real estate website
Any idea if thesis theme for wordpress has any skins that can make a website look similar? The elegant themes do look quite nice though.

I’m glad to have found this post. I have a client that will love this theme. And it seems one can’t beat the price of membership! Also, I’m happy to have learned about Scribe.
Thank you!
Unfortunately it doesn’t allow the user to change the status of a property to “sold” … Is there a way around this?
This is a great theme. I use it on one of my blogs as well.

This theme looks great. It is a very simple and clean layout design which I will definately recommend. Great post.
The theme is clean and friendly, but there are so many nice themes available for free online, that is hard to choose one
The yearly subscription is also very affordable at 39$ 
I must say that this one is really clean and clear design, I ever saw.
Really impressive.

Great post,
I was searching for a real estate WP theme but didn’t come across this one. I got one of Gorilla Themes. Other agents occasionally ask me about WP themes.
It’s nice to know that this one’s around. Thanks.

Hi Hesham,
Although this skin is nice and is very cheap (although it’s well coded), I don’t think it can compared with Templatic real estate theme
Templatic real estate theme is a CMS theme and it can support normal blog post as well as real estate listing. Well worth to try out 
Mike recently posted..Top 10 blog directories to list your blog for FREE!
WE are talking here about over 40 themes for only $39… mmmm ElegantThemes (membership) can NOT be compared to any other theme (in my personal opinion)
Thank you for your comment and time Mike!
I think she is just giving us more option for real estate … and additional benefits are always welcome.
ZK recently posted..How To Implement An Awesome Website Design For Under 87
Thanks Hesham.. That is an AWESOME design. There are tons of local real estate agents I could pitch this theme to, as it is so unique from all of their competition. The fact that PSD files are also included is a great plus for that extra bit of customization.
Aaron recently posted..blogReaction Introduces Revenue Sharing on Free Blogging Platform
Excellent, Nick always include PSD files so anyone can play around to create something unique if they want to!
Enjoy your work Aaron! I hope to hear good news soon!
Great post Hesham! These pre-designed (and really snazzy looking) layouts are great. Any realtor would love to have one for their site! Unfortunately, I’m not in the housing industry now!

That was perfect for me Hesham. I have actually been thinking of upgrading my blog for some time now. This looks nice and like it would be easy to convert my real estate website that i currently have.
This is cool, now you can shift your design
Also you can pick one of the five color schemes that fits your blog most!
Looking forward to see the results
This theme looks wonderful. I am recommending it to a client immediately who has a real estate website. Thanks for the tip.
Good luck with your client Rebecca, I am sure you will make some good deal
Thanks Hesham. Sorry for the confusion.

Nice and professional!
However as I had invested my capital on Thesis.. I guess I will just design my blog based on this theme. Of course it’s time consuming.. but at least it worth it.
However for non-Thesis users who’re running real estate blog.. I guess this is a nice choice!
Thank you Nasrul for your opinion, enjoy your Thesis
Hi Hesham,
As a Real Estate agent can I only say and agree with Hesham after have looking over it; ElegantEstate I very good, it has everything you need and its look professional for the clients.
Great we both agree on that!
I forget that ElegantEstate is so easy to work with and you can also combination it with so many WP plugin

Thanks man!
My ears perked when I saw a discussion here about real estate. If I were not so sold on the Thesis theme, I would jump on board the ElegantThemes theme.
Colleen recently posted..Richland Monterosso’s Italian Restaurant Offers Complimentary Wine Tasting
I would love to create some real estate skin for Thesis theme, I was planning this but regarding to time issues..
I will probably try to do it soon!
Great! We have a few blogs that could be good experiments for Thesis real estate skins.
Colleen recently posted..Richland Monterosso’s Italian Restaurant Offers Complimentary Wine Tasting
Hey Hesham,
As someone who’s had need for a real estate theme, I can attest to the fact that it’s tough to find a really good one. Even the expensive one from StudioPress does not cut it.
That theme looks lovely. I, too, have a subscription to Elegant Themes and like them very much.
What I have found that works in real estate is presenting information in such a way that people can get to what they’re looking for, while at the same time, leaving contact information for a follow-up.
Some of the ugliest real estate websites in the world are doing very well! It’s a mystery.
Tia Peterson recently posted..What Are You Trying to Say
Exactly! people need to find what they want and fast! it’s not a bout the design of the site and how much graphics you put on!
lol I agree with you about the ugly, I have seen that

Thats a pretty nice theme. I could have used it last year, when I was working with a Realtor that wanted a custom site but refused to pay for custom site prices that looked as good as this one. I could of sold him this one for the fraction of the price a custom and he would have been happy.
Yes, it looks great and of course price is free for ElegantTheme members! this is the great thing about membership sites!
Hi Hesham,
Just want to ask how much is the fee to become a member? I’m quite interested to give it a try. Real Estate is a hit today, might as well start my own blog. Thanks for the advice!
Hey Hesham
Need to ask you about Thesis. I have the theme but something is amiss. I cannot upgrade or access the forum or anything. Think I bought a dodgy copy and its coming back to bite me now!
What you recommend? I’m more than happy to buy it again through you, just thought I’d get your thoughts on the matter.
Weird, if you buy it through the diythemes.com website then you should have access! which option you bought? personal or developer option?
Why don’t you submit a ticket!
Just let me know what happen with you, and I will try to help!
Hesham, Are you saying this theme is a skin that uses Thesis as it’s base?
Colleen recently posted..Richland Monterosso’s Italian Restaurant Offers Complimentary Wine Tasting
nope this is off topic
ElegantThemes provides stand alone themes!
