Online booking for estate agents, letting agents and surveyors

CaliDiary lets buyers, tenants and landlords book viewings, free valuations and surveys on your agency's WordPress website. Each branch has its own negotiators and hours, the property address is asked on the form, and valuation requests can be checked before they are confirmed.

  • Free plan, no booking limit
  • Bookings stay on your website

Examples

How it works day to day

Made-up businesses, real CaliDiary features. Each example names the features that do the work.

Free valuations, checked first

Sellers book a free valuation by giving the property's address. The time is held as a request so the branch can check the address is in its area before accepting; out-of-area requests are declined politely and the time is freed.

Two branches, one website

Visitors choose the town or village branch first, then a negotiator or simply the first free one. Each branch keeps its own opening hours and services, and Saturday viewings only appear where someone is working.

Features

The features you will use most

Which plan

Pro suits a branch with negotiators; Solo suits a sole agent

A sole agent or surveyor can work on Solo, with up to 3 locations, choice questions, uploads, card payments and calendar sync. An agency where several negotiators take viewings, or with more than 3 branches, needs Pro for unlimited people and locations and branch managers.

Viewings without phone tag

Most people look at property in the evening and at weekends, when your branch is closed. A booking form on each listing lets them choose a viewing there and then, from the times a negotiator is really free, and the booking lock means two buyers are never given the same slot. Buffers after each viewing leave time to travel to the next property.

Valuations that win instructions

A free valuation is often the first contact with a future seller or landlord. Asking for the address, the type of property and the timescale on the form means the valuer arrives prepared. Holding valuations as requests you approve lets the branch check the property is in its patch before confirming.

Branches and negotiators

Each branch is a location with its own address, opening hours, negotiators and services, and every customer email says where to go. Negotiators who cover two branches have working hours by location, so a Saturday at the village office is only offered there. On Pro, branch managers see only their own branch's diary.

Surveyors and paid services

Surveyors and property professionals can take a deposit by card when the survey is booked, through their own Stripe, PayPal or Mollie account, and send a numbered invoice with VAT afterwards. Sale particulars and floor plans can be uploaded with the booking and are kept private on your own website.

Applicants' details stay with the agency

Buyers', tenants' and landlords' details are stored in your own WordPress database, and WordPress's export and erase tools include them. See privacy and GDPR tools.

Questions from estate agents

Can each property have its own booking form?
Yes. Create a viewing service for the property and add the block, shortcode or Elementor widget, set to that service, on its page.
Can we hold open-house viewings?
Yes. An open house is a group session with a set number of places, so it stops taking bookings when it is full.
Do valuation requests have to be confirmed?
Only if you choose that. With requests you approve, the time is held while you check the address, and you accept or decline it.
Can negotiators see viewings on their phones?
Yes. Two-way calendar sync on Solo and Pro puts each viewing in the negotiator's Google, Outlook or Apple calendar.
Where are applicants' details stored?
In your agency's own WordPress database. They never reach CaliDiary's servers.

Removals and surveys

Home and video surveys, photo uploads and moving days secured with a deposit.
