Real Estate Listings Plugin - WordPress - ReEvaluated

10 months ago I commissioned a programmer to complete a plugin for use in WordPress that would offer some basic listing management features for Realtors that use WordPress as their primary CMS.  Successfully, yet unfortunately more expensive than I had wanted to spend, we were able to get the plugin to work pretty effectively.  After several beta versions and much discussion among Realtors that financed the plugin, it became painfully obvious that the list of features could continue to grow to a point that the burden and performance concerns related to WordPress would prove counter productive. Mind you, WordPress is fully capable of handling an insane amount of usage and traffic, but the heavier you make the application by packing it with plugins and hacks the slower it becomes.  I needed to avoid this at all costs knowing what I know about servers, as I own several for Realtor hosting.
