I am working on a Real State website for my brother We first considered the option of buying Moset’s Hot Property or even JXtended Catalog. But his budget is really, really short. Fortunately I found JEA. It took me no time to have it installed and running. In a few days I was able to translate it (almost completely) to Portuguese (Brazilian) and create some template overrides for de component and modules.



What I really liked is that JEA can easily be adapted for other situations / business, like car sales, boat sales to mention a few.



I think that it could offer a bit more flexibility in the output layout of the component without having to create an override, like the ability to show only the type / city / main picture and price of the property. The possibility to show properties in columns would also be nice. But since this is beta 0.7 I believe that this kind of improvement will come in future versions. I would say the same for the Emphasis module.



Congratulations for the great work Philip. As soon as I have finished my translation I will send you the files. I think this is the least I can do to help your development.

This may work well in French, however the translation is imperfect, and very little in the way of a support forum. They claim the default is now in English, but it's not complete and needs a lot of code editing to correct. Will keep checking for updates though as it could be a great component.

I am very happy with this component. It works well and this for free. I just had to translate the language.ini and that´s it! thanx a lot!

Coincidentally I was trying to fix the bugs yesterday when the developer loaded the new release that fixed them for me. There is some terminology based on Europe but there are ways around that.



I am converting an Open-Realty site and decided to go with this rather than CMS Realty.



With a little more options for configuration it would be worth as a paid extension.

I think this is the best free real estate module for 1.5 so far. It's very adaptable to your needs and stable. The only pitty is that there is no documentation/support. An active forum would be a good start. Lokking foward to new developments.

The Component looks good, and has the basic features needed. As Beta, it is definitely not ready for a production site. It should be remembered that many people who want to use CMS packages are not programmers or scripters, just people who need a good functional website. Joomla in general fulfills this need.



This component hasn't totally been configured for English users, with lots of French terms in both front and backend data entry points.



Also when configuring, the change-table function doesn't work, so Property Types is the only working function. I added Houses, Apartments, Land, etc., then switched to Towns or Department (should be County), but entries were added back to Properties instead.



I had to uninstall, will look forward to properly functional final release.

I've been looking around for a good real estate extension, and this one really seems to hit the target in terms of clean design and functionality. I strongly encourage the developer to roll on, you've really got something here!



I'd like to suggest a selectable random feed of properties to the front page.

It is a nice component, i will rate it with 5 stars to encourage the developer i hope. I the state that is now deserve 4 stars but it is free and it has potential i hope the developer continue the good job that started.

This is a really good job indeed!
