Hi there Lover,
I hope you won't mind if I tout our own solution here. Take a look at our real estate websites at :
http://www.holt-realty.com/
http://www.thaitopproperties.com/
http://www.thailandbangkokproperty.com
Each of these websites uses the same CMS system linked to a central MySQL database. Users can add/edit/delete records in any of these websites and the changes will be reflected in the other two.
The program was originally Open-Realty, but with daily use I have modified it considerably for a working real estate company, adding new fields, changing the look, and so on.
We sell it for $US1,000 fully installed and with lifetime free updates.
It's incredibly simple to use, can be used in any currency by making one change in the configuration file, where you can also set the number of pictures to display with each listing, and include Yahoo Maps as well. The Administration module allows you to add any number of new users, add/modify/delete listings using a simple Form interface.
Because of its modular design the header and footer can be custom designed using your logo and choice of colors. We also include up to 10 static pages for each client which can be accessed from the pull-down menu.
Although our websites are designed for Thailand, we can quickly adapt the program to any country. All we need from our clients, if they are not from the USA, is a list of the states or counties and we substitute them into the program.
If you prefer not to pay for a program, then go to
http://www.open-realty.org/ and download the original program and then start customizing. It's definitely one of the best CMS programs I've found on the web for real estate listings.
And if you are a looking for a Car Sales listing program, you will find one on the same website. We are preparing to customize that as well and hope to have something ready by the end of the year.
