Customizable Real Estate Search Builder
The search builder is an Elementor-based system that allows you to design custom search panels. Instead of relying on rigid, pre-configured search boxes, you can place search tabs anywhere on your layout, add custom fields, and control styling options to match your directory structure. The search interface remains responsive across mobile and tablet viewports.
Advanced Filtering and Geolocation
To help buyers find exact matches, the system features a robust search engine with advanced filtering capabilities. Users can utilize radius search and geolocation to find listings near their current location. Additional features include multi-select filters, price sliders, sticky search bars, saved searches, and automated email alerts for new matching properties.
Comprehensive Property Detail Pages
The property detail page layout is highly flexible, allowing you to showcase listings with rich media and technical data. You can configure custom fields, structural floor plans, 360-degree virtual tours, and image galleries. Built-in tools such as mortgage calculators, energy efficiency scales (including EU energy classes), Walkscore, and Yelp nearby places provide visitors with comprehensive neighborhood insights.
Native Lead Generation and CRM
Capture and convert incoming traffic with built-in lead generation forms. Houzez includes custom contact and inquiry widgets designed specifically for property pages, agent sidebars, and agency profile pages. The built-in CRM lets you manage leads, track user activities, monitor active deals, and analyze property performance data from a single dashboard.
Front-End Dashboard and Marketplace Capabilities
You can run a multi-agent real estate marketplace using the front-end dashboard. Agents can register, submit listings, manage their profiles, and view detailed traffic charts showing visits, locations, devices, and referral sources. A built-in membership system allows you to monetize your platform by offering free or paid listing tiers with recurring payment options.
IDX and MLS Compatibility
Houzez is designed to work with third-party IDX plugins. Standard IDX integrations use iframes, which display external content but do not inherit the theme’s custom CSS. For a unified user interface, the theme natively supports Organic IDX Sync. This integration pulls actual MLS data directly into your server’s database, allowing listings to use the native search and layout designs of the theme.
