Realworks Property Sync

A WordPress plugin that keeps a realtor website honest about Realworks: listings, photos, and withdrawn objects stay in sync with the office system, without someone pasting them into WordPress by hand.

The problem

Dutch real-estate offices already manage their portfolio in Realworks. The website is just the public face of that data. Packaged “makelaar websites” still often sell the Realworks connection as a recurring monthly line — and over a few years that quiet subscription becomes the expensive part.

I wanted the opposite: ordinary WordPress for the site, and a reliable sync for the inventory. So I built the bridge once, instead of renting it every month.

What the plugin does

• Pulls objects from the Realworks API and creates or updates the matching WordPress posts
• Keeps media attached to the right listing, and can clean up attachments when a property leaves the site
• Runs in batches with a resumable queue, so large portfolios do not hit PHP timeouts
• Reconciles the public site when objects disappear from the feed or are marked withdrawn
• Shows progress in the WordPress admin, with logs you can actually read when something fails
• Optional WP-CLI and scheduled runs for recurring sync on a live server

Who it is for

Agencies (or builders working for them) that already have WordPress and Realworks, and mainly need the feed to stay correct — not a full turnkey realtor platform with support on speed dial.

Interested?

The plugin is private for now. If you want to use it, talk about a site that needs this sync, or just poke at how it works — get in touch.

The longer story: Realtor websites bill you every month for Realworks. That adds up fast
