What do you need to look for in an Agent Website generally speaking?

  1. Not looks. It is how website performs that is the most important.
  2. No pre-loaded content. No one wants to read other people’s material. It is better to have one page of your own content than 1,000s of pages of duplicate content.
  3. An Integrated IDX. If each listing on the MLS does not have a unique query on the end of the url or in other words does not have its own web page then believe me you do not have cutting edge technology or anything close to it. Keep in mind it is not just about bragging rights either. This type of technology can produce leads if implemented properly.
  4. Price: Would you rather spend $10,000 on a reliable used car that runs well or $5,000 on a car that needs $20,000 of work before you can drive it? Point is the cheaper the better is not always the case. But generally speaking $50 to $75 a month is what you would expect to pay for a quality website and it’s hosting. (though it can be much more)
  5. You need an easy way to have 1,000s of non-duplicated pages on your site with your contact information. Join Brand Name Real Estate and we promise we will show you how.
  6. Options such as searching for homes in certain school districts with your IDX can be a nice touch. Users are only going to keep visiting your site if it is in the top 10% with regards to search features. It is constantly changing so it is important to have web developers that change with the times.
  7. You need an IDX that requires someone to sign in but only after X amount of searches or property views. This is extremely important and as it can increase your total amount of qualified leads and we are always available to help our agents understand these kinds of things.
  8. Keep in mind a Broker Site Does not Take the Place of An Agent Site. A Company Site cannot produce any more leads than an Agent Site. If you want to be in the top 10% of the market going forward it will be unlikely you can do this without producing your own leads and the right type of site can produce just as many leads for just you as any Broker Site.
