Welcome to FW Real Estate
FW Real Estate is a WordPress extension that lets you list and showcase real estate properties on your WordPress site. This Getting Started guide walks you through everything from downloading the package to creating your first property, usually in under 30 minutes from a fresh install.
What's Included
Your FW Real Estate subscription gives you the core component plus a curated set of add-ons that extend it. The main installation package contains:
- FW Real Estate component: the engine, admin UI, and frontend views
- Admin module: quick-access link from the WordPress main menu
- Default design plugin: ready-to-use frontend styling so properties display correctly out of the box
Everything else (extra layouts, advanced features, integrations) lives in the Add-ons panel inside the component admin. You install what you need, when you need it. Around 30 add-ons are available: listing layouts (Grid, Map, Slideshow), agents, property fields, custom fields, rentals, floor plans, open house, favourites, saved searches, comparison, PDF brochure, video, 3D tour, social share, SEO Booster, watermark, multi-currency, status labels, CSV import/export, and five embeddable modules (search, latest, agent, mortgage, layout). MLS and XML feed integrations (MLS Grid, Trestle, Spark API, RETS, OpenImmo and more) are delivered as a per-client integration service rather than as a self-install add-on.
