StoryEstate is a lightweight, yet feature-packed real estate plugin designed to work seamlessly with any WordPress theme. It provides a complete, premium-grade solution for managing properties, agents, and offices without bloating your site or forcing you into expensive “Pro” upgrades.

Whether you are a solo realtor, a large brokerage, or a developer building a headless real estate app, StoryEstate has you covered.

Does this work with my theme?

Yes! StoryEstate uses scoped CSS variables and standard WordPress template hierarchies, making it compatible with 99% of WordPress themes.

Do I need a Google Maps API key?

No. StoryEstate uses OpenStreetMap (Leaflet.js) out of the box, which is completely free and requires no API key.

Is the Mortgage Calculator included?

Yes! Unlike many competitors that lock calculators behind paid add-ons, our interactive, zero-API Mortgage Calculator is fully built-in and requires no extra purchases.

Can I use this with a Headless WordPress setup?

Absolutely. We have explicitly registered all custom property meta fields to the REST API, making StoryEstate one of the most headless-ready open-source real estate plugins available.

How do I stop spam on the contact forms?

The plugin includes a built-in “Honeypot” field that silently blocks 99% of automated spam bots without annoying your users with CAPTCHAs.
