Real estate market reports are extremely interesting – and valuable – to clients and to prospects. They enable clients to get detailed information about recent home sales in their neighborhood.

Since one of your main goals as a real estate professional is to make your website as “sticky” as possible – to make people stay longer on your site and return for future visits, adding market reports and recently sold properties to your agent website makes a lot of sense.

Market reports also have the added benefit of adding depth to your website. The more interactive your real estate site is, the more you fill it with relevant tools and information, the more attractive it becomes to clients and to prospects.

Our real estate sites include built-in market reports (except for non-disclosure states and counties, where this service is not available). Using tax record information and graphs provided by Zillow, your clients can run an instant report showing them all of the recent home sales in their neighborhood.

If this tool is available in your state, do remember to take advantage of it. It is one of the best tools we offer for keeping clients engaged and interested in your real estate website.

Our goal is to capture as many real estate leads for you as we can. This means that just about every page on your agent website will come with a lead generator. Your clients can request additional information about a listing, request a CMA, sign up for free listing updates, download a report or check out the recent home sales in their neighborhood – ALL of which require them to enter their contact information.

Once you have captured a real estate web lead, it is crucial that you immediately follow up on that lead if you want to close a transaction. Many real estate professionals find that with good online real estate marketing campaigns, lead generation is not that hard anymore, but you still face the challenge of turning those leads into lifelong customers.

The most important thing you can do to turn real estate leads into customers is to follow up, and the sooner, the better. Imagine being able to contact a lead while they are still browsing your real estate site – that would be the ultimate in capturing leads!

Our Real Estate Sites enable you to do just that. When you use our agent site, you receive instant leads by a text message. With our LEADS2TEXT service, you can have your website leads sent immediately to your text-enabled cell phone.

If someone fills out a form on your website, our program will convert their message to text and transmit it to your cell phone, so you can follow up while your prospect is still viewing your website! This is one of the best ways to turn such a prospect into a customer, so make sure you take advantage of this free service.

An important part of running a website – any website – is periodically checking your website statistics. After you’ve done everything you can to promote your website, including search engine optimization and social media marketing, you need to check and see if your efforts are paying off, and fine-tune your marketing efforts accordingly.

To help you stay on top of your real estate marketing campaign, each of our real estate websites comes with advanced website statistics. Our stats are live – you can see what’s happening right now – and they allow you to track not only where your visitors are coming from, but what they are doing on your site.

You can see which pages get the most page views, where your visitors are staying the longest (and where they bounce off right away and leave your site), and where they click on your links.

With our detailed graphs and charts, you can tell if your real estate marketing campaign is working and check your ROI.

Knowing what your traffic is doing can help you focus your most important content to the pages that get the most traffic. It can also help you see where you need to make improvements to your site  – which pages need additional tweaking to get more page views.

Creating an agent website is an important step in the right direction when it comes to real estate marketing. But creating a real estate website is not enough: you want people to actually find your website when they search for an agent or for listings.

This is where search engine optimization becomes important. There are many things you can do to help major search engines such as Google index your site correctly, and we help you with them. One of the things you need to do is submit your website to all the major search engines. We do that for you – one less thing to worry about!

We also include a link exchange opportunity in our agent sites. When you get legitimate links from other websites that point at your site, you increase your site’s authority and therefor its visibility in the search engines.

When it comes to on-page optimization, or in other words the way you optimize your own site to include important keywords, our real estate sites enable you to modify your meta tags to include your surrounding areas and your areas of expertise.

We also provide tutorials on pay per click marketing using tools such as Google Adwords, on blogs (blogging is a great way to add relevant, optimized content to your agent site!), and other ways to help drive traffic to your real estate site .
