Websites for Realtors
Website developer with years of experience building websites for real estate professionals
Custom Websites With a Professional, Friendly Look & Feel
As a web developer with a background in real estate, I build high performance, WordPress websites for agents who only want the BEST!
Websites for Real Estate Professionals
I specialize in creating professionally developed, unique websites tailored for realtors. All of my sites are built on WordPress, utilizing a range of premium plugin stacks. These websites are particularly effective for those looking to stand out from the competition.
I understand how challenging it can be to differentiate yourself in a crowded market. The best way to achieve this is by having a high-performance, user-friendly website that reflects your personality and aligns with your personal brand.
As a freelance web services provider, I focus on building and managing websites for a select group of clients, primarily through referrals from friends or existing clients. I rarely take on projects without some positive connection. While my rates are lower than those of an agency, if you’re looking for a bargain-basement website, I’m not the right fit for you.
I recognize that your time is valuable, which is why I offer ongoing website management after the site is complete. I handle everything daily, ensuring your site remains optimized and up-to-date. Plus, all websites are delivered SEO-ready, tailored specifically for your local service areas. We set the foundation for SEO success, but ongoing SEO efforts will be your responsibility.
Professional, High Performance Websites for Real Estate Professionals
Should Your Real Estate Website Include Multiple Listings?
If desired, I can install and configure an IDX plugin on your site which enables the display of multiple listings. This requires a separate plugin which involves a monthly cost between the realtor and a third party provider. I have have tested the most popular and happy to provide a referral upon request.
An IDX Could Hurt Your SEO
Before jumping in with an IDX you should know, having an IDX on your site does not insure you will receive any leads. In fact, if incorrectly set up, those listings may harm your SEO more than help it. That’s because, in the eyes of the search engines multiple listings are mostly considered as duplicate content.
IDX/MLS Leads
Yes, displaying MLS listings on your site may result in a few leads. The problem is, these are often poor leads and a waste of time. Most of the time agents will be contacted by potential buyers who already have an agent or think you are the listing agent. Sometimes they only have more questions that only the listing agent would be able to answer.
What do Real Estate Website Visitors Expect?
Even with the negatives, I think it’s a good idea to display listings. Why? Most real estate website visitors expect to have the ability to search for homes. Also, displaying MLS listings results in your visitors spending more time on your website. This is always good for SEO and brand awareness.

Your Online Presence in Motion
Most real estate agents do a good job of creating their online presence, but a poor job at managing it. As soon as they get a few transactions underway they get busy and start feeling comfortable. Unfortunately, it’s all downhill from there. It takes consistency and discipline to keep your website operating it peak performance and your online presence in motion.

All backups are stored in 2 different remote locations for up to 2 months.
My website services enable real estate professionals to stay focused on their business and their own social media. I take care of their website!
Social Media Pages Are Not Truly Yours!
Social media platforms are more focused than ever on keeping users within their ecosystem. These platforms do not prioritize your content; in fact, they often downrank your posts if you link to external websites. You don’t own your social media pages and have limited control over them. They only showcase your content to serve ads to your friends and followers.
Your Online Presence Depends on Your Website HUB
The future of your online presence hinges on having your own unique website, where you have complete control. This is the only way to ensure your visitors see and engage with the content you want them to.
It’s well-known that potential real estate clients will check both your website and social media pages to learn more about you. That’s why your website should never be an afterthought. It needs to represent your best self, helping you stand out and surpass your competitors. That’s where we excel!
