Most “real estate” plugins for WordPress are built for a market that is not yours. They talk about MLS feeds, IDX and American or Australian listing styles. That is fine if you work there. It is not much use if you need BER badges, a Sale Agreed ribbon, a Daft or MyHome feed, or an OpenImmo file from a German CRM.
A property plugin for WordPress is just the software that turns the site into a listings site. Some of them only display what you type in. The useful ones also pull properties from the CRM or the portals you already pay for, and they keep the public pages in step when a sale is agreed.
What a property plugin actually does
Under the labels, almost every property plugin is doing some mix of four jobs.
Listings. A custom post type, or something close to one, for each property. Address, price, bedrooms, status, gallery, maybe a floor plan. The plugin renders search, filters, a map and a single property page.
Enquiry. A form on the listing, so a viewer can ask about a house without the message disappearing into a generic contact inbox.
Structured data. A few plugins output schema such as RealEstateListing, so search engines can tell a property page from a blog post.
Sync. This is the part agents actually need, and the part generic listing plugins often skip. The CRM or the portal is the record. The website should read it, not invent a second copy that goes stale on a Friday afternoon.
If you only have a dozen properties and someone in the office is happy to type them in twice, a listings plugin is enough. The moment you are advertising on Daft, MyHome, Idealista, ImmoScout24 or a broker CRM, you want an importer, not another form.
How the feeds and the CRM imports work
There is no single “property feed” format. That is why the same WordPress site can be a poor fit in Dublin and a good fit in Munich.
Some plugins talk to a portal API with a key. Elive works that way with Daft. Some poll an XML or JSON URL on a schedule, which is how a lot of Acquaint and Kyero imports are set up. German tools often watch an FTP folder for OpenImmo ZIP files, because that is what the broker software already writes. A few products offer a direct API to a portal, such as ImmobilienScout24 or Immowelt in the German-speaking market, or Inmovilla in Spain.
Direction matters. Plenty of connectors only flow one way, CRM to WordPress. The Carlos Herrera connector, for example, is explicit about that. A smaller number can also export, so the website can push listings out to a portal. Property Hive and Houzez Property Feed both document UK portal export. Treat Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket as UK portals, not EU ones.
Automatic sync is often the paid half of a free plugin. The free edition lets you import by hand or keep one small feed. The paid edition adds cron, higher limits or the CRM modules. I will flag that as I go.
None of these plugins replaces an accredited energy assessment. They display a BER, an EPC, a DPE or an Energieausweis that was typed in or arrived in the feed.
How this helps an estate agent
The website is not the CRM. The useful outcome is simpler than the marketing pages make it sound.
You change a status in the office system, and the public page follows, including Sale Agreed or Let Agreed where the plugin supports those ribbons. You do not have a sold house still sitting on the site over the weekend.
Search, maps and filters live on a domain you control, so a viewer can go from a Google result to a brochure page without being sent straight to a portal. Portals still do the advertising. The site does the enquiry and the brand.
Energy labels and legal notices can be printed on the listing, which is expected in Ireland, France, Germany and several other EU countries. A generic US plugin will not have a BER badge waiting for you.
If the importer is solid, opening a second office or taking on another CRM feed is a configuration job, not a rebuild.
A quick comparison
This is a map, not a scoreboard. “Free or paid” is the licensing shape only.
| Plugin | Where it fits | Listings on the site | Sync and imports | Energy labels and local status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Property Drive | Ireland, free starting point | Yes. Theme-agnostic, OpenStreetMap or Google Maps, RealEstateListing schema | Automatic portal and CRM sync is in the paid upgrade | BER badges, Sale Agreed and Let Agreed ribbons |

Irish-built plugins
The Irish WordPress market is thin. I only found three products actually built for it, plus a couple of UK plugins that import Irish CRMs. That is the gap. It is also why a generic “best real estate plugin” list from a US blog will waste your morning.
Property Drive
Property Drive is free on WordPress.org. It gives you listings, search, a map and structured data, and it already uses Irish conventions: BER badges and Sale Agreed or Let Agreed ribbons. It is theme-agnostic. You can use OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.
Automatic sync with Daft, MyHome, Acquaint and similar systems is not in the free plugin. The directory page points to WP Property Drive for that. One WordPress.org review mentions those names; the vendor copy treats automatic import as a feature of the upgrade.
WP Property Drive
WP Property Drive is the paid product at 4Property, an Irish company with a Dublin address on the page. It is not a separate listing on WordPress.org. The product page describes it as part of 4Property’s 4Sites web-development package, with a Core feature set and optional Pro modules.
The page says it is “100% compatible with the Irish property market” and can sync Acquaint, Property Drive, Daft, MyHome and Rightmove. Reapit is named among custom feed integrations. Property details can show BER ratings, and Sale Agreed listings get a banner. The Core list also mentions exclusive Irish market integration and EU GDPR compliancy.
There is a separate MyHome importer page if that is the portal you care about. Rightmove appears here as a sync target; that is a UK portal, even if an Irish agency sometimes uses it.
Foundry
Foundry is the getButterfly plugin I built specifically for the Irish property market. It imports from Daft or Acquaint on a schedule and creates ordinary WordPress posts. The fields include BER rating (A1 to G), BER number, energy details in kWh/m²/year, Irish county, Ireland as the default country, and the statuses Irish sites actually use: For Sale, To Let, Sold, Sale Agreed, Let Agreed and Under Offer.
It works with most themes. It was built to take advantage of the Saturn theme if you are already on that. It is not listed on WordPress.org. Security, quality and bug-fix updates are free; paid work is for requested feature updates and new importers. The public page lists WordPress 6.4+ (tested with 6.5), PHP 8.3+ and MySQL 8+.
If you need a WordPress site that reads Daft or Acquaint and shows BER without dragging in a full international CRM suite, this is the one I maintain.
Elive Property Listing
Elive Property Listing is a paid plugin from Elive Ltd in Limerick. It is not on WordPress.org. It syncs an agency’s Daft.ie listings with a Daft API key. The changelog refers to Daft API v3. It can show BER ratings, including a graphical BER display, and a Sale Agreed banner.
The last changelog entry I could verify was version 1.2.21, dated 30 September 2026. It needs PHP 7.4+, MySQL 5.x, WordPress 6.x and IonCube Loader 14+. That last requirement is the one to check with your host before you buy anything. This is a Daft-focused listing plugin, not a multi-CRM platform. If the office lives on Daft and does not need Acquaint or MyHome coming into WordPress, Elive is the specialist option.
UK plugins that cover Irish CRMs
These are not Irish-built. They are the main WordPress routes I found for Acquaint and Rentman, and they also document Alto and Reapit.
Property Hive
Property Hive is a free core plugin with 3,000+ active installs. Version 2.4.0 was last updated on 23 September 2026 when I checked. The vendor is based in the UK. The core gives you listings, an EPC generator and international support.
CRM imports, including Acquaint and Rentman, need Property Hive Pro, or the import add-on. The import list also includes Alto (Vebra), Reapit Foundations, and EU formats such as Kyero, Inmovilla, Inmobalia, Inmoweb, ThinkSpain, Apimo, Getrix and Witei (which uses the Kyero format). Acquaint can be pointed at an XML URL, including more than one office URL.
Pro can export to Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket. That is useful for a UK office, and worth knowing if an Irish agency also advertises there. It is not an EU feature.
If you want one plugin with the broadest documented Irish and EU CRM coverage, this is usually the one I would look at first, then check whether you actually need that width.
Houzez Property Feed
Houzez Property Feed is made by Property Hive and needs the Houzez theme. The free tier allows one active import or export and up to 25 properties. Pro removes those limits. It had 1,000+ active installs, at version 2.5.53, last updated on 4 November 2026.
Irish-relevant import formats include Acquaint and Rentman, plus Alto and Reapit Foundations. On the EU side it also imports Kyero, OpenImmo, Inmovilla, Inmobalia, Inmoweb, Idealista JSON, thinkSPAIN, Propstack and Apimo, among others. It can export to Idealista, Kyero v3 (including WPML) and thinkSPAIN, and to the UK portals already named above.
If the site is already on Houzez, use this rather than ripping the theme out. If the site is not on Houzez, do not install a theme just to get a feed plugin. Look at Property Hive, or at an Irish-built plugin, instead.
EU plugins, by market
The EU side is much thicker than the Irish one. It is also more local than people expect. A German OpenImmo plugin will not help you with Daft. A Spanish Idealista connector will not print a BER certificate.
Germany, Austria and OpenImmo
WP-ImmoMakler is a paid platform built for the German-speaking market since 2012. It is not in the WordPress.org directory. It imports from broker software via OpenImmo XML, talks to the ImmobilienScout24 and Immowelt APIs, and also handles Kyero XML and a long list of other formats and CRMs, including Idealista, Inmobalia, Propstack, onOffice, JustImmo and Propertybase. Legal and localisation features cited on the site include Bestellerprinzip, Widerrufsbelehrung, DSGVO and Energieausweis. It is multilingual through WPML, and the page also mentions Polylang and DeepL. If you need a complete DACH setup, start here.
immonex Kickstart is free (300+ installs, version 1.19.1, last updated 7 November 2026). It displays OpenImmo-based listings. The paid importer is OpenImmo2WP (version 5.5.0, last vendor update 29 June 2026). That pulls OpenImmo XML, as a ZIP over FTP, into WordPress. The FAQ says many vendors in Austria, Switzerland and Spain use it as well. Energy-certificate data (EnEV, GEG) is supported; a graphical display needs the Energy Scale Pro add-on. Multilingual import is a separate add-on. Kickstart documents EU GDPR consent before loading external libraries. OpenImmo2WP ships mapping tables for Houzez, RealHomes, WPCasa, WP Residence and Kickstart itself, so this can be a way to get OpenImmo into a theme you already have.
WP Immo Manager is a smaller OpenImmo importer: 100+ installs, version 2.3.7, last updated 14 May 2026. Use the WordPress.org page. The old vendor domain was returning HTTP 500 when I checked. The free core can sync manually from wp-admin. Immediate or automatic sync is described as a Pro feature. The description talks about creating a portal in broker software such as Maklerserver or Maklermanager, setting an FTP path, and choosing OpenImmo.
Estatequay is new, free, and GPL-licensed. It is not on WordPress.org yet; you download the zip from the vendor. Version 1.0.1 was released on 21 October 2026. It imports OpenImmo, and Kyero v3 for Spain, either by upload or from a feed URL fetched every four hours. It has built-in listing rules for German energy-certificate details, and for Spanish energy letters and some regional notes. Enquiries can go back to the CRM as OpenImmo-Feedback XML. It needs WordPress 6.5+ and PHP 8.1+. Worth watching, not yet a directory regular.
Spain and overseas-buyer portals
Inmobilify is a paid Spanish plugin (version 6.0.13 on the page I fetched). It syncs Idealista feeds, with JSON preferred, or XML, and the Inmovilla CRM API for sale, rent and transfer. It needs WordPress 5.6+ and Elementor for the display widgets. WPML support is built in. Use the Eiko Studio URL. The inmobilify.com domain was not reliable when I checked.
Connect CRM RealState is a free importer with a Pro add-on for automatic cron sync and some extras. It talks to Inmovilla Procesos, the legacy Inmovilla APIWEB, and Anaconda. It had 10+ installs, at version 1.2.9, last updated 28 October 2026. It can use its own property post type or an existing one. This is a connector, not a full listing theme.
The Carlos Herrera connector is a paid family of connectors, not a WordPress.org plugin, from a vendor in Santander. The FAQ lists versions for Inmovilla, Urbaniza, Witei, Idealista, Kyero and Inmoges. Data flows from the CRM or portal into WordPress, not the other way. A multilingual add-on is described as compatible with WPML and Polylang.
If the site is on Houzez or Property Hive already, both also cover Idealista, Inmovilla, Kyero and related Spanish formats, which may be enough without a Spain-only plugin.
France
ImmoWP Gestion Immobilière is the free listing plugin (40+ installs, version 2.0.11, last updated 9 November 2026), with a paid Pro edition. Automatic CRM sync is a separate ImmoWP gateway. The free plugin is manual entry unless that gateway is added. The gateway is the interesting part: it syncs from 70+ French and European estate-agency systems. Named examples include Hektor (La Boîte Immo), Apimo, Immofacile, Ubiflow, Netty, Whise, SweepBright, Omnicasa and Adapt Immo. The listing plugin has native DPE/GES energy labels, the legal Géorisques mention, agency-fee and copropriété notices, and GDPR wording on the contact form in the bundled marketing copy. The vendor says it has been used by 200+ agencies since 2017. I did not see SeLoger or Leboncoin named as direct sources on the pages I fetched. Ubiflow is a multidiffusion tool agencies often use to reach French portals.
Ts-Immo Sync is a free WordPress.org connector, but it needs a Ts-Immo account. It had fewer than 10 installs, at version 1.0.11, last updated 31 July 2026. The page says it is compatible with 20+ CRMs and portals through the Ts-Immo multi-connector, and it is the only plugin page I fetched that actually names SeLoger, alongside Apimo, Hektor, SweepBright, Netty and Whise. It is a gateway endpoint, not a dedicated SeLoger plugin.
Energy labels on general plugins
If you already use a general listings plugin and only need the certificate graphic, two options are worth knowing. Estatik includes EPC and GES (DPE in France) labels in the free plugin, with more layouts in paid editions. WPCasa’s Energy Efficiency add-on prints a colour bar, as a shortcode or a widget, on the single listing. Neither one gave me a Daft, MyHome or Acquaint integration.
General plugins that do not fill an Irish or EU gap
Easy Property Listings is a well-kept Australian plugin (5,000+ installs, last updated 10 November 2026). I found no Daft, OpenImmo, Kyero or Idealista add-on.
Essential Real Estate is widely installed (7,000+ installs, last updated 10 November 2026). I found no Irish or EU portal add-ons on the directory page.
WPL Real Estate (1,000+ installs, last updated 20 August 2026) is built around listings and MLS/IDX, which is a North American-style workflow, not Daft or OpenImmo.
Those WordPress plugins can still display houses if you type them in. They are not, on the evidence I have, property plugins for an Irish or EU agency that lives on a local portal.
I also left out a few names on purpose. A Dutch specialist, Tussendoor, looks relevant on paper, but its vendor pages were returning HTTP 500 on the day I checked, so I will not describe features I could not read. A SaaS Inmovilla synchroniser from digitalDot is not a plugin, so it does not belong in this list.
What I would actually use
If the site is for an Irish agency and you want the website to follow Daft or Acquaint, start with an Irish-built plugin: Property Drive if you want a free listings base, WP Property Drive if you need the paid portal and CRM sync, Foundry if you want the importer I maintain, or Elive if the office is Daft-only and the host can run IonCube.
If the office already runs Houzez, use Houzez Property Feed. If you need one international plugin that can import Acquaint, Rentman and a pile of EU formats, look at Property Hive and budget for Pro.
If the work is in Germany or Austria, look at WP-ImmoMakler or the immonex pair. If it is Spain, look at Inmobilify, the Herrera connector, or the Spanish formats already in Property Hive and Houzez Property Feed. If it is France, look at ImmoWP, including the gateway, because the legal display is the part a generic plugin will miss.
I would not install a large general listings plugin and hope the BER badge or the Daft feed appears later. That is how you end up with two property systems and a spreadsheet in the middle.
FAQ
What is a property plugin for WordPress?
It is a plugin that stores and displays property listings on a WordPress site, usually with search, a map and an enquiry form. The better ones also import from a CRM or a property portal, so the public site is not a second, hand-maintained database.
Which property plugin is best for WordPress?
There is no single best plugin, because the feed is the constraint. Irish sites need Daft, MyHome, Acquaint or BER support. German sites need OpenImmo. Spanish sites often need Idealista or Inmovilla. French sites need DPE display and a French CRM gateway. Pick the plugin that speaks the system the office already uses.
Can a WordPress property plugin sync with Daft or MyHome?
Yes, in a few cases. Foundry and Elive import from Daft. WP Property Drive documents sync with Daft and MyHome. The free Property Drive plugin displays Irish-style listings, but automatic portal sync is described as a feature of the paid upgrade. I would not expect a US or Australian listings plugin to offer this.
Do Property Hive or Houzez work for Irish agencies?
They can, if you need Acquaint or Rentman. Those imports are in the paid feed or Pro add-ons, not Irish-specific products. Houzez Property Feed also requires the Houzez theme. Neither one is a PSRA tool, and BER support should be checked in the theme and the feed, not assumed.
Is Rightmove or Zoopla an EU integration?
No. Those are UK portals. Property Hive Pro and Houzez Property Feed can export to them, and WP Property Drive names Rightmove as a sync option. Useful for some agencies, but they should be labelled as UK, not EU, after Brexit.
Do these plugins generate an official BER or EPC certificate?
No. They display values that were entered or imported. An official certificate still comes from an accredited assessment. I did not find a plugin that talks to a government energy register and issues a certificate for you.
Is there a WordPress plugin for PSRA licence numbers in Ireland?
I did not find one whose documented purpose is PSRA registration or PSRA-specific compliance. If the agency needs the licence number on the site, that is still a job for the theme, the footer and the contact page.
