You’re new to property management and looking to launch a new website. Or, maybe you’ve been in the space for quite some time and are ready to make the move on a new or refreshed website design. WordPress is a great platform to build a website on and in this article, we are going to break down the common property management plugins to include on your website.

For all property managers in Canada, RealtyPress is by far the must-have plugin to include n your website. Connecting your website is easy! We connect your KAREA account into RealtyPress and your listings will automatically populate onto your website. I mean, why not? You’re already entering your listing information into your KAREA account. Save yourself the time by not having to enter your listing information twice and get the plugin. It’s worth the money!

Property management websites typically have forms on their website. These forms should allow the visitor to complete the form on your website and submit it. We recommend using the plugin, Gravity Forms. Although there are other form-building plugins, we recommend Gravity Forms.

Setting up a payment gateway on your website allows your tenants to pay their rent online. The first step would be to install the WooCommerce plugin. Adding the Name Your Price plugin allows your tenants to enter a specific amount to pay. Lastly, you need to choose a payment processor. We like to use Stripe, but there are many other options for you to choose from.

There is a plugin that is packaged with a bunch of goodies for a property listing website. I mean, you could get individual plugins for each, but why? If you can get a package deal, that’s the way to go! It’s called Simple Real Estate Pack and it includes:

• Mortgage and home affordability calculators
• Closing cost estimator
• Live mortgage rates
• Statistic charts
