We've all been there before. You're searching for a company that covers a specific need, find a link that looks promising, then land on a website that looks like it hasn't been updated since the days of dial-up internet. An outdated website certainly doesn't inspire confidence or build trust in the prospects who visit it — and that's if they can even find it in the first place.
Your real estate website should be the crown jewel of your digital presence, and an outdated website can seriously compromise your marketing potential. Here's how to tell if your website is outdated, along with some tips to help you turn your website into a mod...

When a client is selling a home, you coach them on all of the reliable ways that they can make the property most appealing to buyers. First impressions are a top priority, but so too are all of the little things that buyers will notice as they tour the property in depth.

How much value does your real estate website add to your practice?
Everyone knows "you have to have a website." And for real estate agents and brokerages, that's even more true. Some of the most successful real estate professionals, in the United States and throughout the world, generate a substantial portion of their leads through their own site — as much as 50%.
These days, future customers are far more likely to hear of you online than through an in-person event or non-digital advertising. That's because Millennials and the fast-emerging Gen Z homebuyers almost universally start their search for a new home online.
