When you're building a real estate website with WordPress – one of the most important and helpful things you can invest in is a well-designed and easy-to-use WordPress theme.

Luckily, there are A LOT of great WordPress themes available for those of us in the real estate industry. Whether you're an investor, realtor, broker, property manager, landlord or fill-in-the-blank… chances are there's a solid WordPress theme somewhere out there that can be tailored to suit your specific purpose.

The problem is – most real estate professionals aren't professional web designers. We don't necessarily know what to look for in a great theme, and even if we did – most of us have no idea where to find all the best options on the market today.

RELATED: Real Estate SEO Guide

With this in mind, I've taken some time to identify what I believe are ten of the highest-rated, widely used, and most flexible real estate WordPress themes available today. These themes were selected based on five key criteria…

1. High Ratings & Reviews

I've used a few of these themes in the past, but not all of them. Since there's no way I could ever get enough hands-on experience with all of these options, I'm placing a heavy emphasis on the number of high ratings each of these themes has received. Essentially, a theme won't make it on this list without a rating of at least a 4 out of 5 stars.

2. Ongoing Updates

Not all WordPress themes are created and supported by well-respected developers who continually release updates to keep their themes fully compatible with the latest version of WordPress. While this kind of ongoing attention-to-detail is never guaranteed, the themes below are coming from marketplaces and developers that are generally known for this kind of continual updating of their products.

3. Detailed Documentation and Ease of Use

If you're not overly familiar with the inner workings of WordPress, it can be a real challenge to figure out how to work with certain themes and get them to display exactly the way you want them to. Unfortunately, most WordPress themes (even the paid ones) don't come with one-on-one support to get your site in final working order. However, many of the paid themes will come with detailed instructions on how to work with the features available… so to the extent possible, many of the themes on this list come with clear instructions on how to get started.

4. SEO Friendly

Your choice of WordPress theme can have a major impact on the “SEO friendliness” of your website. The built-in search engine optimization features that come with a WordPress theme can definitely play an important role in your website's ability to be tracked and monitored by search engines. With this in mind, these themes all come with some element of on-site SEO features that can be used to improve your website's searchability.

5. Supported Plugins

Part of what makes WordPress such a great website platform is the fact that it can be integrated with plugins. A plugin is a piece of software that can be used to extend the functionality or add helpful new features to your WordPress site. Not all themes will support every plugin. This is why it's important to choose a theme that can work with the plugins that will boost your website's performance to the level that adequately serves your prospects and customers.

So with that said – here's a video overview of my top picks…

1. Winning Agent Pro 2

Winning Agent Pro 2 Theme

Winning Agent Pro 2 (formerly known as AgentPress Pro) is one of my personal favorites. I first discovered this gem back in 2010 and as time has gone by, the team at StudioPress has continued to make improvements by adding a mobile responsive design, background image options, an easy “widgetized” layout and a lot more. I still use this theme on my buying website to this day and I've never been disappointed with it.

2. Agent Focused Pro

Agent Focused Pro

Agent Focused Pro is another solid option from the team at StudioPress, and this one is a fairly recent addition to their growing library. It bears some similarities to the Winning AgentPress Pro 2 theme (both are built on the Genesis framework) but has more of a modern, sleek appeal that may be a more ideal fit for luxury properties and/or communities. If you're selling higher-end properties with plenty of high-resolution images at your disposal – this could be the one for you.

3. HomePro

HomePro

HomePro is a very capable and well-designed WordPress theme – ideal for real estate agents and/or real estate agencies with multiple properties on the market. It has a mobile responsive design that shows big, beautiful images and the unique features of each property.

Like several of the other WordPress themes on this list, this one comes with full listings management and IDX support (so you can embed live MLS data directly into your website). This theme will also allow you to build custom page templates, single listing templates, custom real estate related widgets, and much more.

4. Houzez

Houzez has an elegant & clean design and comes with lots of features (e.g. – property search, property slider, property map with stylish markers, front end-user login & register, front-end property submit & edit, etc).

This theme has an excellent rating in the Envato Marketplace, but it won't necessarily be the right fit for everyone, but for those who are promoting multiple properties and/or getting other outside users involved, it could potentially have A LOT to offer.

5. WP Residence

WP Residence is a premium theme designed for independent agents and agencies, but you can also use it to allow users to submit their properties for free, for a fee or based on a subscription.

6. WP Real Estate

WP Real Estate is a single theme with a library of designs. You can import a design, or change a design with a few clicks. Apart from page and post content itself (which uses the block editor, along with the Kadence block plugin), most of the design elements are stored/managed via the customizer. So a ‘design' is really a set of customizer options that control the site layout. You can import and export those options to change or save or share designs.
