WordPress 2.1 Real Estate Listing Plugin

WordPress Real Estate Listing Manager in development
After a year long consideration and exploration, I decided to proceed with a WordPress plugin as the alternative to creating a self contained listing manager.
WordPress is often chosen by Realtors and Real Estate professionals as a marketing tool used to provide current fresh content on their websites. The ease in which a WordPress can be managed by novice webies is certainly a key motivator. With more and more of my clients using a blog as the main website content manager known as “The WordPress Loop” it only makes sense to add a listing manager to this already valuable tool for Realtors a logical choice.
I’ve contracted a PHP developer to begin the project and hope for an early summer release as a NON commercial FREE plugin or product. The database foundation has been laid and the database tables installer completed.
Without letting the cat out of the bag per se, what I’m seeking to achieve is a simple listing manager that will allow the input, management and display of real estate listings in your blog. Naturally there will need to be field manager and an installer for database tables, but the idea behind our motivation is to create something that works with RETS and IDX type Realtor solutions from MLS’s around the nation. A key component of this project is the database foundation which has been the starting point where I’ve put most of my energy on this project. It will follow database normalization to the 3rd level for sure and the 5th eventually, this as a foundational procedure will greatly improve performance when compared to other listing managers. I’ll get some more detailed specs later in the month.

I saw your post in the Pro Real Estate Network and I visited your demo late last night but now its down. Is there a chance you will be activating it again.
Is this going to work with the latest release of Word Press
“A simple listing manager”
What a great idea… blogs are a great way for realtors to do real estate marketing that I think most have not leveraged to date!
I love Wordpress because of the plug-in abilities that automate your blogging duties.
A plug-in like this would be an asset for Realtors.
I’ll look for this.
Cheers,
John
Would love to know when the real estate listing plugin becomes available. Please notify me.
Thanks

Hi This will be great. I have a mu wordpress site and wonder if it will work on MU as well. Looking forward to it. Johan Horak
hey, your demo has an alignment issue in the featured listings slider, any idea if that will be fixed prior to release? Also I notice that in IE the position of the featured listings is off by 10px. When will we be able to download it.
