The first thing that you are going to want to learn from a web designer before you hire them is if they offer SEO services or if they are partnered with a company that does. You also want to find out that if, in fact, they do SEO, what it is they do for SEO on your real estate website. Since SEO is a continuous process you want to make sure that you are at least set up to have the ability to be found on the major search engines. Without having search engine optimization done to your site it won’t have but a slim chance of being found when someone is looking for your key terms on engines like Google and Yahoo.

          Search engine optimization for real estate web design needs to be a little more aggressive than others because the terms for real estate and real estate listings are hard to fight for in the natural search results. If you want your site to be found on the broader terms like real estate, real estate listings, and etc. you are going to have to be prepared to spend a lot of time and resources to climb the list.

          Once the project is completed and you are completely satisfied with how your real estate website turned out you should think about a few things in your mind. The first thing that should be thought through thoroughly (try saying that ten times fast) is your website completely ready? The answer is obviously, no, there are a lot of things that you need to do to finish it off. For example, if you are listing properties on your real estate website you are going to have to add all of the listings into your site. It would make sense that the web designer made you an admin panel so that you could do just that, and without having to have a webmaster or someone who knows programming code.

          Getting all your listings ready is going to take some time in itself; the next thing to think about is SEO, do you have any done on your website? Can you do more? Where are you showing up for some of your key terms? How can you improve this? Are there other alternatives or options? SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a serious business and should be looked at as such in terms of your website. If you want to learn more about SEO please go on to the next post.

          On the other side of things you also have to think about the design of your website. Do you want it to be White? Black? Brown? Blue? The choice is really up to you in the end. I would suggest keeping it more professional with a white or something that is not overpowering because that will keep your potential buyers from jumping to another real estate website. There are a lot of suggestions that I could give you for your real estate website; there are also a lot of suggestions that your web designer will give you as well. Don’t let someone else’s ideas sway you on your own site though, make sure to stick to your guns and follow what you want to do.

          There are quite a few options that you should and will have to decide between and you should think about things from the perspective of someone who is going to visit your website. Is it going to be appealing to them? Is it going to be helpful to them? Is the site going to be easy to navigate? Make sure that the answer to all of these questions are yes and you’ll be well on your way to creating a great real estate website that will turn into a great promotional asset.

          Finding a good web designer/developer starts off with deciding if you want to use a freelancer or a web design company. Personally, I would recommend a web design company because they give you piece of mind on the reliability factor of things. Freelancers are known to have the ability to “disappear” from a project, not that they all do, just that they always have that option; it doesn’t sit well with a lot of people and this is the downfall of the freelancer most of the time.

          Finding a web designer/developer for your real estate website is going to ultimately be up to you, and your preferences. A web design company or freelancer (if you find a good one) will be able to complete your project with everything that you have outlined. The trick of finding a good one is just to be careful and do many interviews and phone calls with prospective companies and people. This way you have a good mindset of which person/company you want to construct your real estate website.

          There are a lot of different ways that you can go with a real estate website and I’m sure that what you are imagining as the possibilities are only a third of the real possibilities that you have available to you. So try to think broad when you are figuring out what it is that you really want out of your real estate website; think out of the box so that you can take any and all opportunities for really creating a unique real estate website that is going to be original looking as well as professional. Let’s obviously keep in mind that what you are creating is going to be looked at by home-buyers and people seriously looking to put money into an extremely large investment.

          Keeping everything in mind that I have mentioned above, creating a real estate website should be a creative and somewhat fun project to take on. Everything that you’ve gained from reading this post should be brought to the table when you are designing your website. Don’t be afraid to get advice from the web designer that you eventually end up choosing (if you have one already picked and ready to go). They can help you with getting everything worked out in your head. For more information on real estate web design check us out at DreamCo Design - Real Estate Web Design.

          There are millions of people that use these types of real estate websites everyday and can vouch for their reliability, accessibility, convenience, and ease of use; because of the number of real estate sites like this out there it is important that your website stands out but in a professional way. The design and navigation of your real estate website is going to be winning points of your realtor website; the two things that people are going to judge the site on.

          These types of sites make it easier to pass judgment on property before even going to see it. That makes things easier for consumers that would rather not waste time looking through houses they are going to have completely no interest in. This shortens down the time it takes for a potential sale for everyone involved in the process. With real estate websites up all over the internet for anyone’s use the realtor business has become more streamlined and efficient.

          The first websites that are hit are normally websites that specialize in listings from many different real estate companies. Searching through all the different listings is the first step, the next step is finding out who is selling the property (what real estate company and what specific realtor) and looking at their website. Seeing that the website that they are going to see is going to either wow them or make them skeptical you want to make sure that it goes the way you want it to. Make sure that your website is up to par and that if you were searching for a realtor or real estate that your site is going to look professional and it is going to be easy to navigate and gives a lot of information.

          Having a real estate website is going to help you because you can showcase your company and each of the professional realtors that are employed there. Think about how many people can benefit from your real estate website and how much business it will bring in for your company, the opportunity is too large to pass up.

Renting out the banner space is easy you just have to find someone who is willing to fork over that cash every so often so you can keep that advertisment up there. Some places you might want to consider renting that advertising space out to are landscapers, painters, furniture stores. Basically anything that can have some affiliation with buying or selling a home would work. This could be a great business move for you you just could let your website make money for you as it just sits there and grabs leads for you as well.
Now lets think for a minute. You have just put up your real estate website, and it is doing pretty well. You have hit a few leads and the website has already paid for itself after that first sale. Now you realize that a lot of the buyers you see come through your real estate website have not even spoken to a mortgage lender yet but they are still looking for a home to purchase. You know one of your good friends just so happens to run a mortgage company and he cuts you referral checks for every person you send his way. Well why not set him up with a link to his company website from your real estate website. Everybody that clicks on that link could be a potential customer for him which could turn into referral checks for you. And it does not have to stop with mortgage companies, you can have links to lawyers, banks, contractors , pretty much whoever you think of that can cut you a check for bringing them business.

You can also link exchange with these affiliates. A link exchange is just what it means, you give them a link on your real estate website, and they will give a link to your website from their business page. Think about someone who is looking to fix up there house so they can put it on the market to sell in a few months. The contact a local contractor by looking at the contractor’s website. When they get to the site they see a link for local Realtors. They click the link and it takes them to your real estate website. Right there is free money, all you had to do was network with your local businesses. Which is something a good Realtor already does.

In today’s market people are looking to get all the information they can in one place. So you have to make sure your real estate website is the nexus of your area’s universe. You might want to put up links to all the local public schools and private schools. This will help out that buyer who is mostly concerned with school districts in that area. Another link that a agent might want to put up on their real estate website is for local builders. What if your buyer or seller wants to put a deck on they house they are buying or selling. They could search the internet for Realtors, then such for local contractors. Or they could just click on the link from your real estate website to a local contractors.

Other things people would be interested in are the stores and other local businesses that are located in the area they are looking to buy in. This does not have to be the link to the actual business website, but a least a list for the names of the stores or businesses and a description of what they offer the community. And if the business does not have a website let them know about DreamCo Design. A few other points of interest for a potential buyer might be the local churches, and maybe even the local governing boards for that particular township.

The buyer and seller are your customers. And customers are what makes or brakes a business. One quote that always stood out in my mind was “People won’t always remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel”. This holds true to almost anything you do. It can be a powerful tool for you in your quest to conquer the real estate market. People may not always remember what they saw on your real estate website, but they will remember that it was easy and informative to them. They will remember you for that, and we all know that the best form of advertising is great customer service.

DreamCo Design lives by that above statement. Great customer service unfortunately seems to be a thing of the past for most businesses now a days, especially when you are looking at the big box retailers. But you have to know that DreamCo Design remembers customer service, and it is our top priority. We can make you a real estate website that pops in your head and is exactly what you want. But most importantly we can do all that while making you smile. That is what we believe in and that is what we will die by.

For years retailers have been coming up with new ways to get customers into their stores. And only about a decade ago they stumbled on the great idea of the “one stop shop”. What a great idea! Why have a customer go to three separate places for their needs, when they can just walk in to one store and leave with everything they needed? From tires to apples, their is not much a consumer can not get at one of these stores. In the area I live in it started with the Super Wal-Marts, soon after Meijer moved in followed by Super Target. Now you can’t drive 5 miles without seeing one of these super giant box retail stores, and consumers in my area have never been happier.

So why should this be such a major issue in the real estate business. Every business model is essentially the same no matter what market or industry you are in, that model basically states “Get the customer to give us more money”. The best way to do that is to give the customers exactly what they want. So what do customers today want? Well that depends on the generation your dealing with. Now that people are living longer their is a huge melting pot of different generations. This causes many cohorts to pop up, thus making it extremely difficult on our markets and industries. They have to diversify their techniques of selling to be able to satisfy all the possible clients.

That is why we have the “one stop shop” in most industries and especially real estate. Some people want everything done for them, others only need a little help, and yet others do not want any. Just like some buyers or sellers might want to talk to the Realtor the entire time and take the procedure the old fashion way, others might not want to see the realtor untill they have already made a buying decision and are ready to sign the papers. So ultimately it is best to have a real estate website that can offer all these things to every type of customer that comes our way. 

The best way to make your real estate website a “one stop shop” is to offer all the things you possibly can in a face to face interaction and transfer that on to your Realtor website. Things like current listings, contact information, and information about the schools in the area. Also links to mortgage lenders or banks. The ideas are endless and it is really up to the person. Your real estate website can be the most valuable tool a Realtor or Broker can have, if it is implemented properly.  

Dreamco Design has many solutions on how to improve this idea of a ”one stop shop”. If you are looking to beef up your real estate website or have one built, see what Dreamco Design can do for all your real estate web design needs. We know what your customers want. Why?
