In our last post we looked at how to use Houzez as a property portal. But what if, instead of creating a portal, we want to send our properties to other third party portals?
When marketing properties online, visibility is everything. Getting your listings in front of the right audience quickly, accurately, and consistently can make the difference between a property sitting idle and securing enquiries fast. That’s where the Houzez Property Feed plugin comes in.
Designed specifically for websites built with the WordPress Houzez theme, our plugin gives agents full control over how their properties are exported to major property portals without the manual effort or ongoing headaches.
Below we explore why using Houzez Property Feed is the smart choice for exporting your properties to portals.
Automated Property Exports
Manually uploading listings to portals is time consuming and error prone. Houzez Property Feed automates the entire process generating feeds directly from your website.
Once configured your exports run automatically on a schedule or via real-time updates where supported. That means:
- No repetitive admin work
- No missed updates
- No outdated listings on portals
Your website becomes the single source of truth for your property data.
Choose Exactly Which Properties Are Sent
Not every property belongs on every portal. Houzez Property Feed lets you select precisely which properties are included in each export.
Either send all published properties or manually choose which properties are included in feeds.
Support for All Major Property Portals
We support exports to all the key portals agents rely on, including:
- Rightmove
- OnTheMarket
- Zoopla
- Kyero
- and many more
Portal not listed? Get in touch and we’ll gladly look to add support for it.
Real-Time Updates (Where Supported)
For portals that allow it, we’ll send real-time updates. This means changes you make on your website will be reflected on the portal almost instantly.
The result?
- Faster updates for buyers and tenants
- Greater confidence in your listings
- Find out instantly whether the property meets the portals requirements and correct errors immediately
UK and Overseas Property Support
Whether you’re listing UK residential properties, overseas developments, or a mix of both, Houzez Property Feed has you covered.
The plugin supports:
- UK-specific portal requirements
- International listings and portals
- Multiple currencies, locations, and property types
This makes it ideal for estate agents regardless of where they operate from in the world.
Multiple Simultaneous Exports
Many agencies need to send different data to different portals. Our plugin allows you to run multiple exports at the same time, each with its own configuration.
For example, you can:
- Send UK sales properties to one portal
- Overseas developments to another
- Rentals to a separate feed
All this from the same Houzez website without duplication or conflict.
Detailed Logs for Peace of Mind
Wondering whether a feed ran successfully? Houzez Property Feed includes detailed logging so you can see exactly what happened during each export.
Logs help you:
- Confirm successful feed generation
- Identify and resolve errors quickly
- Troubleshoot portal-specific issues
This transparency saves time and reduces frustration when managing multiple portals.
Taxonomy Mapping That Matches Portal Requirements
Every portal has its own accepted values for property types, statuses, and more. Our taxonomy mapping feature allows you to map your Houzez property data to the exact values each portal expects.
It’s a powerful feature that removes one of the most common pain points of exports and ensures your feeds remain compliant with the portals.
Old Properties Removed From Portals Automatically
Not only do we manage sending on market properties. We’ll also automatically remove sold, let and withdrawn properties when they’re no longer published in WordPress ensuring the property stock shown on third party sites is always accurate and up to date.
Final Thoughts
Houzez Property Feed turns your WordPress website into a fully-fledged property distribution hub. With automated exports, granular control, major portal support, and robust logging, it simplifies what is traditionally one of the most complex parts of property marketing.
