immonex Kickstart Team

This add-on plugin extends sites using the immonex Kickstart base plugin by functions for automatically creating, updating, linking and integrating real estate agency and agent posts. All relevant data is collected on importing OpenImmo-XML real estate offers [2] and assigned to the associated property, agency and agent posts. Alternatively, these data records can also be created and updated manually in the WordPress backend. Widgets for displaying agent/agency contact data and forms in property detail pages are also included, as well as ready-to-use, customizable templates for CPT archive pages and list views etc. Property related inquiry mails that are sent via the included, unified contact form contain an auto-generated OpenImmo-Feedback XML attachment usable for further processing steps, e.g. within the real estate management software that is used by the agency. tl;dr

• See it in action at base.immonex.one!
• Install immonex Kickstart first.
• Install a compatible OpenImmo import plugin [2] and import example data (both available free of charge at immonex.dev for testing/development).
• Read the docs for detailed usage/customization instructions.
