Turn your real estate site into a property portal business.
Charge agents to list their properties on your site, just like Zillow, Funda, or Rightmove. The Woo Estato addon adds paid listing packages and subscription plans to Real Estate Manager using WooCommerce, so you can run a property portal as a real business instead of just a free directory.
Everything you need to monetize property listings
The Woo Estato addon adds a complete paid listings system to Real Estate Manager, powered by WooCommerce. Build packages, charge agents, control listing limits, and collect payments automatically, all using tools your WordPress site already knows how to handle.
The biggest real estate sites are not agencies. They are portals.
Zillow, Rightmove, Funda, Realtor.com. The most valuable real estate businesses in the world do not own any properties or sell any homes. They run portals where thousands of agents pay to list, and that listing revenue compounds into businesses worth billions. Most WordPress real estate plugins assume you are one agency listing your own properties, which means they leave the portal business model on the table entirely.
The Woo Estato addon closes that gap. With one free download, your Real Estate Manager site can sell listing packages and subscriptions to agents in your market, collect payments through WooCommerce, and operate as a property portal from day one. Start small with one region or one property type, grow into the dominant portal in your niche, and turn the work of running a real estate site into a real ongoing business.
FAQs
Is the Woo Estato addon really free?
Yes. The addon is completely free and open source, downloadable from GitHub. You only pay for the underlying tools you may already have, like Real Estate Manager Pro and WooCommerce, both of which are required for the addon to work.
Do I need WooCommerce to use this?
Yes. Woo Estato is built on top of WooCommerce, which handles all the payment processing, customer accounts, taxes, and order management. WooCommerce itself is free, so the addon stays free in total. You will also need a WooCommerce-compatible payment gateway like Stripe or PayPal to actually collect payments.
Can I sell both one-off packages and subscriptions?
Yes. Create one-time packages where agents pay once for a fixed listing allowance, or subscription packages where they pay monthly or annually for ongoing access. Mix both models on the same site if it fits your strategy, with different packages for different agent tiers.
What happens when an agent uses up their listing allowance?
The addon enforces the package limit automatically. Once an agent has reached the maximum number of listings allowed by their package, they cannot submit more until they upgrade, renew, or buy an additional package. The whole thing runs without your team having to track allowances manually.
