Question 1

What are real estate website templates?

Accepted Answer

Real estate website templates are pre-built website layouts for agents, agencies, and property developers, with the listings grid, property pages, and enquiry forms already in place so you don't start from a blank page. You fill in your own listings, photos, and branding, then adjust anything by describing the change instead of editing code.

Question 2

Can I manage my own property listings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You add, edit, and remove listings yourself through the same plain-language interface used for the rest of the website, and you can pull details in from a spreadsheet or an existing property feed through an integration so you're not retyping data that already exists elsewhere. Photos, price changes, and status updates – under offer, sold – go out the moment you save them.

Question 3

What happens when a buyer submits an enquiry?

Accepted Answer

The enquiry lands wherever you want it to: your inbox, a shared team address, or a follow-up sequence that reminds someone to call back if nobody responds in a day. That sequence is a workflow – a rule you set once that runs automatically – so a hot lead doesn't sit unread over a weekend.

Question 4

Can I create individual agent pages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each agent can get a page with their photo, contact details, and the listings currently assigned to them, so a buyer who liked working with one agent can find them again instead of calling the office number and starting over. Agent pages sit under the same website as the listings, not a separate microsite.

Question 5

Can the same template handle both sales and rentals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can run one listings grid with a type filter – for sale, to let – or split them into two sections if you'd rather keep them visually separate; either way both pull from the same set of property pages, so you're not maintaining two separate websites for one agency.

Question 6

Can I use a custom domain, and does that help with SEO for my listings?

Accepted Answer

A custom domain is available on paid plans; free sites publish on a base44.app subdomain. For listings specifically, SEO comes down to unique page content per property and working page titles – a custom domain helps with trust and memorability, but it isn't what makes an individual listing rank.

Question 7

How do I choose the right real estate website template?

Accepted Answer

The best real estate website template is the one that gets a specific listing in front of a specific buyer with the fewest steps in between – it doesn't try to be a general-purpose website with property pages bolted on.

• Listings-first layout – the grid and property page are the main event, not a slide-in.
• A working enquiry path – a form or call-to-action on every listing, not just the homepage.
• Agent visibility – space for a photo, a name, and a direct way to reach that person.
• Room to grow – it should hold ten listings as comfortably as two hundred.

Base44's real estate website templates start from that structure, and because you edit the layout by describing changes, adding a filter, a map view, or a new field to the listings grid doesn't need a rebuild. If your agency runs mostly on general enquiries rather than individual listings, it's worth browsing the broader business website template range instead. Prefer starting from a blank page instead? You can create a real estate website by describing the layout you want.
