Real Estate Website Recovery

When your site fails, first identify what is broken and what still works. MindChip checks the WordPress site, hosting, domain, administrator access, recent changes, and available backups. We look for malware, a failed plugin or theme update, server errors, and signs that an account or DNS setting changed. That tells us whether the priority is restoring service, containing an active threat, or recovering access.

We also check the paths your business depends on. Can buyers reach property search and listing detail pages? Do neighborhood and community pages load? Are seller valuation forms still sending inquiries to the right place? We preserve useful site data and confirm the recovery plan with you before making changes. If a previous developer left without handing over credentials, we help establish which hosting and domain accounts you control and what access is still needed.

Our hacked real estate website repair removes malicious code, closes the entry point we find, and checks the site for unwanted users and changes. If Google Safe Browsing or a browser warning blocks visitors, we clean and verify the site before requesting a review. Google controls its review process, but MindChip can prepare the site and submit the request.

We take care not to disrupt the connections that support your business. That includes IDX or MLS search, listing photography, Gravity Forms, and lead routing to Follow Up Boss or kvCORE. We test key pages and forms after cleanup so you can see whether inquiries reach the right destination. We also review neighborhood copy and seller-facing pages for clear, appropriate language. For brokerage sites, we account for your compliance requirements and avoid adding unsupported claims or language that could raise fair housing concerns.

MindChip handles recovery in a clear sequence: assess the incident, secure access, clean or restore the site, test critical functions, then harden the setup. We update WordPress components where appropriate, remove unused access, review backup options, and document the credentials and renewal details your team needs to retain. We test IDX search, listing pages, valuation forms, and CRM delivery with you before calling the recovery complete.

For agents and brokerages, a working home page is not enough. Your lead paths and property information need to function, too. MindChip has been building websites since 1999, and every project stays with our in-house team. You deal with the people responsible for the recovery, not a rotating chain of contractors. Once the site is stable, we can discuss maintenance or hosting needs as a separate next step.

Can you recover a hacked real estate website without losing listings?

Often, yes, if the site data or a usable backup is available. MindChip checks the WordPress files, database, hosting account, and IDX connection before choosing a restore or cleanup approach. We test listing pages and search after recovery because MLS data may depend on a separate feed.

What should I do if Google flags my brokerage website as unsafe?

Treat the warning as urgent and avoid asking clients to bypass it. Contact your host and a recovery professional, then have the site checked for malware and unauthorized changes. After cleanup and verification, MindChip can submit a Safe Browsing review request. Google controls the review and its timing.

Can you fix my real estate website if my old developer disappeared?

Yes. MindChip can assess the site and help identify the access needed for WordPress, hosting, and the domain. If you own the accounts, we can work from those credentials. If access is missing, we can help you contact the relevant providers and establish control before recovery work proceeds.

Will my IDX search and Follow Up Boss forms work after recovery?

MindChip tests the functions your site relies on, including IDX search, listing pages, and lead forms that connect to Follow Up Boss or another CRM. The exact result depends on account access and the feed or integration setup. We identify any separate provider issue during testing and explain the next step.
