Start a Real Estate website Today using ElegantEstate WordPress Theme

August 23, 2010 - Last Modified: November 7, 2010 by Hesham Zebida 2,408

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..

I am creating a custom home builder website and am looking to use the Elegant Estate theme. It lloks very professional and overall extremely clean cut! I only have one question though, were you at all able to customize the home page slider so that there was no little text box in the lower left corner? I am ready to buy a full subscription but if I cannot take away that text box then my boss doesn't want it. Any help would be extremely appreciated!!! Cheers! Patrick

  Not sure, but you can ask your pre-sales questions to ElegantThemes by contacting them.
Dave Ventura says:

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.
Dave Ventura says:

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?
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  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 says:
    
    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. Mark
Rae says:

This is a nice steps on setting up new real estate websites. This elegantEstate is awesome.
Andrew Smith says:

Really , It is very good step to start making a real estate website
Ryan says:

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.
Dana says:

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!
Roch says:

Unfortunately it doesn't allow the user to change the status of a property to "sold" ... Is there a way around this?
Jeremy Smiley says:

This is a great theme. I use it on one of my blogs as well.
eddie says:

This theme looks great. It is a very simple and clean layout design which I will definately recommend. Great post.
Stan Cole says:

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$ :)
ZK says:

I must say that this one is really clean and clear design, I ever saw. Really impressive.
Serhiy says:

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.
- Hesham says:
  
  Great you found us, and I hope you will get more happy agents!
  - ZK says:
    
    Yes these themes are really looking beautiful. Well organised and simple.
Tanveer says:

A very good step to start making a real estate website
- Hesham says:
  
  One real estate website from the best kind!
Hieu Martin says:

Great theme but this time i use thesis and happy with it. May be ElegantEstate is the second choice :). Thanks for review
- Hesham says:
  
  It's not bad at all to have a plan "B" :)
  - Hieu Martin says:
    
    Yes i guest so. Thanks Hesham. P/S : i have relationship with you on mmosocialnetwork. Gool luck
    - Hesham says:
      
      I know :) I manage the MMOSocialNetwork personally, mmmm.. I really need to give more attention to it!
Mike says:

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 :)
- Hesham says:
  
  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!
  - ZK says:
    
    I think she is just giving us more option for real estate ... and additional benefits are always welcome.
Aaron says:

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.
- Hesham says:
  
  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!
Laura Davis says:

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!
- Hesham says:
  
  I wish I was in the real estate business my self :)
Joy says:

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.
- Hesham says:
  
  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
Rebecca says:

This theme looks wonderful. I am recommending it to a client immediately who has a real estate website. Thanks for the tip.
- Hesham says:
  
  Good luck with your client Rebecca, I am sure you will make some good deal ;)
Colleen says:

Thanks Hesham. Sorry for the confusion. ;)
- Hesham says:
  
  No worries :)
Dr Joe says:

Beautiful theme pages. That one for Real Estate is stunning. Joe :D
- Hesham says:
  
  Thank you Dr. Joe, I really love this theme!
Julius says:

Nice ... this looks like a great theme to use on a real estate website. But before I will subscribe to Elegant Themes I have to make money :P
- Hesham says:
  
  It's really cool theme Julius, I like it because it's so clean to my eyes! No worries, ElegantThemes is getting more awesome day after day, it will wait for you :)
Hung says:

Very nice themes but Real State is out of my subject
- Hesham says:
  
  Well... yeah.. it's out of my subject too, but I share with my blog readers! also I am an affiliate for ElegantThemes!
Nasrul Hanis says:

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!
- Hesham says:
  
  Thank you Nasrul for your opinion, enjoy your Thesis :)
Lennart Heleander says:

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.
- Hesham says:
  
  Great we both agree on that!
  - Lennart Heleander says:
    
    I forget that ElegantEstate is so easy to work with and you can also combination it with so many WP plugin
Tinh says:

I did not know that Elegant Themes has real estate themes. Thanks for great updates as I have been with StudioPress, worth a try when needed :-)
- Hesham says:
  
  Just released today!
Dev says:

Hey Hesham, Great theme. I just saw the demo of the theme and its looking awesome. Thanks for sharing :).
- Hesham says:
  
  It's really cool! I love it.. I would use it if I have a real estate website! Thanks man!
Colleen says:

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.
- Hesham says:
  
  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!
  - Colleen says:
    
    Great! We have a few blogs that could be good experiments for Thesis real estate skins. ;)
Tia Peterson says:

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 says:
  
  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 :)
element321 says:

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.
- Hesham says:
  
  Yes, it looks great and of course price is free for ElegantTheme members! this is the great thing about membership sites!
  - Jay says:
    
    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!
Alex says:

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.
- Hesham says:
  
  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!
  - Colleen says:
    
    Hesham, Are you saying this theme is a skin that uses Thesis as it's base?
    - Hesham says:
      
      nope this is off topic :) ElegantThemes provides stand alone themes!
