FreelanceEngine Review – EngineThemes
EstateEngine Real Estate Theme Overview :
The theme offers custom registration system where all new agents have to register to find property. Visitors also need to create account to get access to certain features. The registration page will show you custom form which needs to be filled by all new users.
If you are a property seller then you will first be asked to choose membership plans. Once you do that then you will be taken through a wizard. This process will guide you to select plan, fill-up new user account or existing users can log-in directly. Then you can fill-up details for new property listing. Thanks to front-end listing form which has custom fields (added by site owners) and options to embed documents, video, images and other details.
The final step will draw you to payment page which shows all existing payment modes. Once you follow all the said steps then you will have your listing visible on the website. We loved the homepage design which has modules to display Latest, Featured and Hot properties in appealing way.
EstateEngine has custom property listing modules which will show you filter options, display options, Sort options (rating/latest), and listing styles (list or grid view). You will see around 4 properties in each module with “Load more properties” button powered by ajax. So user can view more listings in new row by just clicking load more button which doesn’t refresh entire page.
