As such, over the next year it will become increasingly important for businesses to take advantage of the open data movement, which many speculate will heavily disrupt and innovate a number of industries, notably the real estate industry.

WHAT ARE THE BEST WORDPRESS THEMES FOR REAL ESTATE?
I’ve reviewed plenty of WordPress themes this year already and I figured that instead of going through listing each one of them through an email, that I’d actually spend a little bit more time and put together a list of the best themes to use for real estate sites.
Real-Estate-Agent-WordPress-Theme
Here’s how I plan on doing this.
I’m going to create a comparison table on this post where I’ve ranked each theme based on how it performs in a particular category. Below this comparative table, I’m going to include a summary on each theme I’ve selected and give a brief summary about why I think it will do well with your website, and what key features are important in helping you reach new buyers tomorrow.
