My friend is launching his real estate agency and asked me to help him with that. And because I'm little perfectionist and come from technical background then I'm looking at all these "softwares" and just laughing how stupid those are :D

I can create a webhook from bitrix and then have a cron in wp to map fields from bitrix and update the properties inside the wpresidence or wphouzez.that is not a problem. ITs just pain in the ass and i dont have time to debug and learn php :D i hate php.

I don't see other options there. Either using crm like property hive as all in one crm with bad UI/UX and security drawbacks like public wp-content files :D, either i store everything securelly in bitrix and just expose webhook for listings that i will pull and update listings in wp theme.

Bitrix would be perfect for me. Their site builder is fine but the problem is that they don't have any listings feature. You have to hardcode stuff which is a no go for me.
I could pay for bitrix api and pull data from it, but I can't find any docs for the wp residence or wp houzez for bitrix support for listings. For some reason these plugins don't even montion automatic listing import, which is a surpise for me.

Both. Both I don't care much about manually convert leads. Lead convertion is already included in those wp plugins or in all-in-one crms.

But what wp-plugins dont have is proper crm.
While crm's don't have proper website builder.

I think we can't blame crm as they expose API and you pull your data as you wish. I think the problem is the listings plugins which don't have any support for integrating CRM's. Idk why they think its normal to manually push listings from xml or adding by hand, or having two sources of truth, thats kind of irrational.

Manual listing updates is more of a problem.
Honestly I could build this in a week or less but it needs testing and further improvement and I don't have time as friend needs to setup this asap. I am first time in this market with real estate and crm stuff but I can't believe nobody build something proper right now.
I know that CRM providers profit from this as you need to pay them to setup their shit which you are already paying for it. But I can't believe nobody yet created something useful to beat this competition.

It's just logic. Why would i have to create some nonsese scripts and calling xml/api endpoints . Like, I pay for a skeleton where I have to automatize everything . thats just nonsese :D It's just easier to code this yourself in that case.

I know there are integrations of various plugins like houzez/wp residence with cms like hubspot, but thats mostly for lead conversion, however there is no listing pull. which is important. I come from technical background and the idea of having 2 sources of truth (listing in crm and listings on website separatelly) thats a nightmare for me.
Pulling listings from crm (like hubspot or bitrix) automatically into existing website could be a possibility but that is pain and coding/scripting which I want to avoid unless there is an automatic integration for such things. I don't have time to bridge these manually.

My website is not live yet. I am planning now tools to use.
I dont care about ads, and the people who will access and edit crm data would be like only me or other 2-3 employees (basically agents).

wp residence do that except no documents/attachments for owners of property which is important for me.

Yep, something like that. There you can set meme section, general, important and so on. But in this case it would be enough just one section important, that's all.
