Websites for auctioneers and estate agents: your properties on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first
You already keep your properties up to date for the property portals. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to score 100 on Google's own test, where a buyer or a vendor finds the property, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.
What it is like now
- The portals own your listings, your leads and increasingly your vendor relationships.
- Vendors choose the agent whose site looks like it will sell their house; yours has not changed in years.
- Every listing is typed twice, once for the portal and once for the site, and the site loses.
What we build for estate agents
- Listings fed from your CRM or portal feed, so nothing is typed twice
- Search by area, price, beds and type that works on a phone
- Vendor reports: views, enquiries and viewings per property, sent automatically
- Valuation requests, viewing bookings and buyer registration built in
What it looks like in practice
An agent types every listing twice, once for the portal and once for the website, and the website loses. We read the CRM feed the portal already gets, so nothing is typed twice, give buyers search by area, price, beds and type that works on a phone, and send vendors an automatic weekly report of views, enquiries and viewings. Valuation requests and viewing bookings are built in, and the office stops ringing to confirm what a form already did.
What a website costs for auctioneers and estate agents
Most estate agents need the Growth tier, from €10,000, delivered in 6 weeks, paid 40% to start, 40% at staging sign-off, 20% at launch. That includes your properties fed from your own system, a page per property, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, 100/100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.
After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, backups, updates, monitoring, unlimited content edits and two hours of development a month, cancel any month. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €350 and the free audit names them.
Typical ticket for a property in your trade is €1,500 to €15,000 a fee; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the property portals covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.
Questions estate agents ask
- Our listings go to the portals through our CRM. Can the site use the same feed?
- Yes. The same feed, read on a schedule, so the site is never behind the portal.
- Vendors want to know how their property is doing.
- They get a weekly email with views, enquiries and viewings, generated automatically. It is the best retention tool an agent has.
- Can buyers book viewings online?
- Yes, against the negotiator's diary, with confirmation and a reminder.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers
- Where is the work actually done?
- Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
- Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
- You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
- What happens on day 31?
- The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
- Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
- You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote.
- What does Google's own speed test say about it?
- 100/100 at launch on every build we ship, or you do not pay the final instalment. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site, right now.
