Start a Real Estate website Today using ElegantEstate WordPress Theme

by on August 23, 2010 · 65 comments

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.. It’s really cool because you actually can start a Real Estate website right away, it will look awesome, you just need to add your best content to it, and you are ready to go!

It’s amazing simple and clean design, you will get an elegant Real Estate blog or website without having to work hard for it, and yes it’s very easy to start your real estate website in no time, for sure you have to have some high quality images of properties to upload, and other content to publish on your blog to rock the realestate world!

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.

Dave Ventura January 26, 2012 at 11:06 pm

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

Hesham August 23, 2010 at 11:50 pm

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!

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.

Reply

Hesham August 23, 2010 at 9:44 pm

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!

Reply

Colleen August 23, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Hesham, Are you saying this theme is a skin that uses Thesis as it’s base?
