Real estate — booking system articles
Articles for real estate: how an online booking system increases revenue and reduces phone calls.
The wrong question usually gets asked about an estate agent's website: is it worth paying for one when the listings are on the portal anyway. But a portal and an owned site do not compete, because they speak to two different people. The portal sells the property to the buyer; the site sells you to the seller.
An agent has no booking calendar either. A buyer does not book a time slot; they send an enquiry, often about several listings at once — and whoever replies first gets the viewing.
The articles below cover portal and website costs, and what belongs on the site so a seller gives the mandate to you.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an estate agent's website cost?
By published price lists, a single-page site is €400–900 plus VAT and a multi-page site €700–2,500 plus VAT. With forms and integrations it sits at €2,000–6,000. Maintenance is €35–50 per month.
Does an owned site replace a property portal?
No, and it should not try. Buyers search for properties on the portal, and that is where you have to be. The owned site's job is to convince a seller that the mandate is worth giving to you.
Why does response speed matter more than a calendar?
Because a buyer often messages several listings at once and the order of replies decides the outcome. What matters most is that the form sends a notification to your phone, not to an inbox read the next morning.
