WordPress Developer for Real Estate Website

We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer to build a new real estate website with an MLS/IDX integration that automatically imports and displays property listings. The most important part of this project is the IDX integration. We are looking for someone who has previous hands-on experience connecting WordPress websites or another cms to MLS databases through an IDX provider. ## Project Requirements **1. WordPress Website Development** - Build a modern, professional real estate website. - Mobile-responsive design. - Standard pages such as Home, About, Contact, and Property Listings. - Property search and browsing functionality. - Individual property listing pages with photos, pricing, and available property details. **2. MLS/IDX Integration (Primary Requirement)** - Integrate an IDX service to automatically pull property listings from an MLS database. - Configure property search and filtering. - Automatically synchronize listings as properties are added, updated, or removed. - Display property details, photos, pricing, and other available MLS information. - Configure the integration to work seamlessly within the WordPress website. - Handle the IDX provider setup, configuration, and troubleshooting. The specific MLS provider has not yet been confirmed. It may be NorthstarMLS or another MLS system. We need someone who can help identify the appropriate IDX provider, explain the available options, and handle the complete integration. **3. Existing Website Link** - Add a navigation link on an existing company website directing visitors to the new real estate website. - The new website will operate independently on its own domain. ## Required Experience - Strong WordPress development experience. - Proven experience with MLS/IDX integrations. - Experience working with different IDX providers. - Understanding of MLS data feeds, listing synchronization, and IDX configuration. - Ability to recommend the best IDX solution based on the MLS being used. ## Questions for Applicants 1. Which IDX providers have you worked with? 2. How many WordPress websites have you built with IDX integrations? 3. Have you worked with NorthstarMLS or other regional MLS systems? 4. Can you handle the entire process, including identifying the provider, setup, configuration, and integration? 5. Please provide examples of real estate websites you have built with working IDX search and listings. ## Budget and Estimate Please provide an estimated project cost broken down into: - WordPress website development. - IDX provider setup and integration. - Any custom development or functionality. - Estimated completion timeline. - Recurring IDX provider fees (listed separately). We are looking for someone with actual IDX implementation experience, not just general WordPress development experience. Please include relevant examples of previous work with your proposal.
