20+ Best WordPress Property Management Themes 2020

It was a straight-forward task.  Find twenty of the best WordPress property management themes currently available for 2020 and put them into a list.   They’ve got to look great and be feature packed, ready to go right out of the proverbial box.

But here’s what happened: it turned out there were fewer real estate WordPress themes than I expected, and that not all of them were, shall we say, above average.   While I did turn up a bunch that wowed me, or at the very least impressed me (a couple that don’t appear here could have rounded out a longer list),  I discovered that the property management themes that excelled on the aesthetic end occasionally fell short on the features and compatibility end, and the ones that were packed to the gills with bells & whistles sometimes looked a bit rough, drab or dated on the front end.

If you’re looking for something a bit more fine-tuned toward  apartment management in particular, don’t miss our companion piece on the best single-property WordPress themes for apartment rentals.

Though all the themes on this list hit the mark in terms of appearance, I did have my eye out for some specific features.   I would consider the ability to create, search, and browse listings to be essential functionality.  Other considerations: compatibility with the dsIDXpress plugin for IDX MLS support, paid listings (with PayPal), Google Maps integration and responsiveness.

One thing to note before we start: if you’re starting from scratch, and aren’t sure you want to use WordPress, you may want to consider using a cloud based website creator.  Check out our comparison of WordPress, Wix, Weebly, and Duda. Many of those options have property management functionality built in.

 

EstateEngine

EstateEngine, the latest offering from the WordPress wizards at EngineThemes, is a theme we’ve been anticipating for a while.  We’ve made no secret about our admiration for this company in the past, and their industry specific themes rank highly in several of our other round-ups.

And good news, the theme doesn’t disappoint: this is a full-featured real estate solution that has the potential to save thrifty webmasters a bundle in development and design costs.  It’s understated on the face of it, with minimal, contemporary design, and its rich with features under the hood.

The theme is highly customizable right on the front-end, to some degree mimicking the experience of popular website builders, and almost every property-oriented feature you’re likely to need is provided (with the possible exception of dsIDXpress support).  Users and admins can browse, add and manage properties, review those properties, and share them socially.  Site owners can easily monetize their sites with paid listings or ad spaces.

But the primary reason EngineThemes products consistently earn high marks from us comes down to user experience.  These guys are UX experts, and it shows.  Where other developers are content to wow buyers with visual flair and animated gimmicks, EngineThemes pays attention to the fine details and very obviously bring a lot of real-world development experience into their products.

If you’ve got a few minutes to spare, we recommend clicking through for a full rundown of what this theme has to offer.   EstateEngine is SEO optimized, translation ready, and a breeze to install and update.

TL;DR EngineThemes does everything right and we love them for it.

Estato

Estato is a cool new option for anyone managing properties. It is built with real estate developers in mind, with standard real estate functionality, as well as rental management, and much more.

Users can browse and book listings, gather leads, show off project portfolios, case studies, and much more.  The theme includes several agent page types, many types of property search, advanced mapping, and several different roles.

The usability and UX are exemplary, fully supporting front-end submissions.  The theme offers many lead generation features, and Google Maps is fully integrated.

Secondary features are strong, and the popular premium plugins Slider Revolution and Visual Composer are bundled free.  Hardly remarkable these days (it might be required to include these by law), but worth a nod.

Estato is responsive, and retina-ready for the high-resolution crowd.   It’s WPML compatible for translation and, hey, we haven’t even mentioned the back-end options panel yet.

Oikia

The new Oikia theme from cssigniter is perhaps most notable for its simplicity and usability: this straight-forward theme provides you with the tools you’ll need for your real estate website – dynamic filtering and map integration, for example – but manages to do it in a slim, optimized package.  You won’t get bogged down by an endless array of confusing options or bizarre installation requirements.

Beyond the theme’s fantastic design and layout, the developers have included plenty of room for tweaks, adjustments, and more extensive customization to help you make it your own.  Layouts can be created, edited, and scraped using the intuitive drag & drop page builder, users can rework color & typography using the back-end options panel, and various elements can be toggled on and off.

Oikia is also SEO optimized to help boost you ranking in the SERPs (pretty important!), and it’s optimized for speed, earning a coveted A+ on YSlow.  The theme performs great on mobile devices – even those boasting high-resolution displays (Oikia is retina-ready, as they say).

Oikia is constantly updated and eagerly supported by the extremely professional cssigniter team, who have a reputation for going above and beyond.  There’s even a support forum for digging up solutions to common problems quickly.  Good stuff.  The experience and reliability of the developer is partly what earns it a top spot on our list.

RealtySpace

We almost put this theme a bit higher in the list just because we like the design so much, but the feature set is just *a bit* thinner than the selections we’ve looked at so far. Still. its modern and professional design is truly a winner, placing high emphasis on readability, and cleverly drawing focus to the content and creating visual interest without being overbearing or ostentatious. (Certainly not as ostentatious as that description, at least.) It includes five homepage variations, the default being a slick one-page style featuring engaging animations and visual cues.

Along with the basic real estate features, Google maps Street view is integrated, advanced filtering is provided, and the theme supports front-end property submissions. One click demo installation makes it a easy to install and to set up, and detailed documentation and great support are available if you run into trouble. RealtySpace is built on top of the pretty sweet Bootstrap 3 framework from Twitter.

Worth noting: this is one of the best-selling property and real estate themes on the ThemeForest marketplace this year, with an with an incredibly impressive 4.98 out of 5 rating. I’m not sure how they managed that, frankly–usually you get at least one impossible-to-please reviewer who drags down the rating with unrealistic expectations and demands.

Easy Property Listings

If you’re looking for something more advanced, Easy Property Listings is your answer.  It’s not a theme, but it’s a plugin.  The base plugin is FREE, but you’ll need to buy the add-on modules to make it do useful stuff.

What sets this one apart is that it is essentially infinitely customizable.   It has the standard add-ons, which are similar to what you see in the other themes here (advanced mapping, frontend submissions, etc), but it also offers much more.

There are add-ons available for importing and exporting nearly any data format used by real estate agents and companies, and bi-directional sync tools for many major platforms.  There are also add-ons for comparables, Walk Score, market research, and integrations with popular property inspections and forms tools.

This plugin is a real powerhouse, designed to handle any businesses, from a single agent, to multi-national real estate companies.  In fact, Re/Max is one of their clients.  It supports 12 languages and 26 different currencies, and has a well documented API.

If you use Easy Property Listings with a standard template, you will have to make some modifications.  However, it integrates with iThemes Builder, so you can use any one of the hundreds of themes that package includes.

If you’re the build it yourself type, this is the option for you.

A couple of nice extras are bundled in for free, too – Visual Composer, for front end drag & drop page building, and the omnipotent Slider Revolution.  That’s not all, either – we recommend looking at the details page for the full rundown of features.

Open House is a pleasure to work with, for both admins, developers and visitors – and its world-class support team stands behind the product.

This  theme is so feature-rich that I simply don’t have the room to cover it all here, but a few of the highlights are:  advanced IDX/MLS integration, Google map integration, custom property fields, front-end property management, a beautiful mobile layout, and free setup.  It’s also got dsIDXPress integration for loading in data, and preloaded MLS/IDX configuration templates.  And it’s got beautiful Retina images.

Real Places is a remarkably popular and well-received theme, maintaining a score of nearly 5/5 stars on the ThemeForest marketplace.  The contemporary, professional design boasts plenty of a character, and its topped off with an excellent UX: Real Places supports coveted usability features like front-end forms and submissions for realtors/property managers, and drag & drop layout building for site admins.  Performance is speedy and lag free.

Fullhouse

Although the name dregs up a few bad memories thanks to that god-awful 90s sitcom, Fullhouse is shaping up to be one of ThemeForest’s fastest selling WordPress property management themes. Created by a best-selling Envato author, the theme is tremendously flexible and comes with a selection of awesome features.

Three unique homepage presets are included, along with multiple layouts and premade pages. And while the design looks fantastic out-of-the-box, the theme can be further customized (as you might expect) on the backend via the WordPress Live Customizer. Colors, fonts, and all that good stuff are fully tweakable. Go nuts.

Real estate functionality is partly powered by Opa l Estate, a powerful free plugin available at WordPress.org. Features like location maps, advanced AJAX powered searching, membership options, and payment gateway integration are provided. The functionality is really quite comprehensive–you’ll no doubt find everything you need in this theme.  UX is finely tuned, and performance is swift. No annoying gimmicks or javascript tricks to bog things down or detract from the content/listings.

Simply put, this is an exceptionally well-crafted product from the ground up, put together by a team that clearly knows what they’re doing. Worth a closer look.

Front-end submission is supported, along with dsINXpress plugin compatibility and Google maps.   The theme is versatile, with several layout presets to choose from, and Visual Composer is bundled free for drag & drop page building.

Bentuestu

In terms of design, Bentuestu might be my favorite – I’m always a sucker for minimal design, classy typography, and lots and lots of white space.

This theme is extraordinarily easy to use, too.  It’s fully responsive and built on the Bootstrap 3 framework.   And, as you might expect, it’s retina-ready and supports all sorts of high-resolution devices.

But most importantly, a complete booking system with an availability calendar is provided.   It’s an especially good choice for renting houses, apartments, or B&Bs.

WP Estate

Clean, concise, contemporary.  That’s the three C’s, which I just now made up to describe the WP Estate theme.   A very “now” look, dslIDXpress support, paid listinsg w/PayPal, Google Maps, Front End submission, and more make this an equally good choice.

ElegantEstate

I’ve included this one (it was between this and a StudioPress offering) primarily because it’s ElegantThemes, and despite that the overall look of their themes isn’t what’s currently hip, there’s no denying that they still look absolutely fantastic.  There’s just something about the way they do that style that always seems to work.  This one doesn’t have some of the features of the others, but it’s worth a look if you don’t need ’em anyway.  Although we are an affiliate for ElegantThemes (meaning we get a commission if you click-through and purchase the theme), we wouldn’t include it here if it didn’t belong on the list.
