Real Estate website

Hi,
I just received a request to do a real estate website with a database.
What's the best way to go about this?

Also, they want an easy way to log into the backend to update the listings.

Any suggestions?

If your client doesn't have particular requirements about the visual part (templates) then you can use various scripts that already exist on the net. Prices are usually from $60 upwards, for the cheapest ones, and may go up to $300.

Even Fantastico has a Real Estate script: Open Realty. Good one, i have tried it.

If however, your client needs customized templates, then you will need to create the script from scratch. It involves lots of things, depending on your client requirements:

1. Property listing script (with list, view, search etc. features.
2. Members (clients) script: usually clients pay to list a property. So you need such a part, where clients can register before they can list a property, go to PayPAl, after payment the account is activated, and they can post listings. Of course a full loggin script is required here.
3. Administrator area: where the admin can manage everything.

The three parts are cooperating.

This is not an easy script, and from what i understand, you don't have experience of such programming / coding. If you are interested, contact me.

qwmrhai, Naval is really good at what he does. I say this from personal experience. He's like a wiz when it comes to scripting hocus pocus and is very helpful. Frankly speaking, scripting gives me migraines.

So, if all else fails, definitely contact me him.
