Possibilities

Advanced search with a large number of fields permits to create a truly customer-friendly website, which allows setting important search criteria immediately and spend time on a detailed view of only those objects that are corresponded to the requirements. Consider, for instance, this option:

 
Most often, potential agency customers are interested in the following data, which should be displayed in search filters:

• real estate transaction type (purchase, sale, rent);
• object’s purpose (residential, commercial real estate);
• location (country, city, district, proximity to infrastructure, etc.);
• floor space;
• number of rooms and bathrooms;
• cost in the selected currency (the entire object, per square meter, range from ... to);
• floor;
• photo, video, 3D-visualization;
• etc.

All these fields are implemented with the FW Real Estate plugin. The client will only have to enter the required data for him/her and select the suitable apartment (house) from the drop-down list. With that, the user selectable criteria while completing search form are displayed with icons on the ad preview.

In general, the ability to set in the search form the above-listed components is an application-specific tool for real estate sale that allows making the fast way to the visual presentation of the sold object (just a few clicks), and the presentation as effective as possible. The potential client, considering such content in detail, can imagine himself/herself in the premises. This leads to a notable increase in the number of successful deals.

Conclusion

FW Real Estate is a powerful plugin that allows creating a full-fledged website for a real estate agency. It contains all the necessary elements to be convenient to manage such a site, and clients get exactly what they are looking for.
