The real estate platform built on the MLS data standard.
Barbican turns WordPress into a RESO-native real estate site — listings, agents, offices and open houses, stored in the same standardized shape the MLS uses and served over a real Web API.
Free and open. Works with any theme.
Think WooCommerce — but for real estate.
WooCommerce made WordPress the default way to sell products online. Barbican does the same for property. Instead of bending listings into generic posts and mapping fields by hand, Barbican models your data in the RESO Data Dictionary — the standard the entire industry already runs on — so it stays accurate, portable, and ready for the MLS.
Everything a listings site needs, done properly.
Standards-native storage
Listings, agents, offices and more are stored in the exact RESO Data Dictionary shape the MLS uses — not lossy custom post types. Your data speaks the industry language from day one.
Ready-made blocks
Build listing pages, agent profiles, office pages and open-house schedules from small WordPress blocks that read your live data. Assemble and restyle them like Lego — no shortcodes.
A real RESO Web API
Every record is served over a standards-compliant OData / RESO Web API, so your data is queryable and portable — ready for integrations instead of locked in a plugin.
Yours to design
Three layers of control — block settings, native WordPress styling, and documented CSS hooks — mean total control over the look, on any theme, without editing the plugin.
