Real estate professionals need to stand out from their competition in order to generate sales, create their own brand, and achieve visibility within the industry. As a marketing tool, your website’s design can serve as your secret weapon. Whether you are redesigning your existing site, or creating a new one, having a custom web design that incorporates some key components can make all the difference in how many potential clients see you, and whether they find credibility in what they see. Enlisting a top professional web design firm can ensure a smoother process, as well as offer valuable expertise that can greatly improve your online visibility, and propel your real estate agency to new heights.
When you use the website that your brokerage provides, your individual realtor brand is subsumed into the identity of your brokerage. You may be able to add a few personalized touches, but overall, when customers see your webpage they are just going to perceive you as one of the interchangeable agents at your brokerage.
When you use one of the website templates that have been used by countless other real estate professionals before you, it makes it difficult for you to create your personal brand. You may work hard on establishing yourself as a consummate professional with a tireless work ethic, and yet when customers see another site that so closely resembles your own, they are bound to associate your work with whomever shares your website design template. Do you really want to risk your reputation by sharing a website design that could link you with any number of unknown realtors?
