Having a strong online presence is crucial for real estate pros. However, maintaining a professional website can be time-consuming and costly, and it may require technical expertise you don’t have. Fortunately, there are strategies you can implement to reduce or eliminate the need to hire or outsource help with website maintenance.
The National Association of REALTORS® provides a resource through get.realtor for free, turn-key, customizable websites that serve as a powerful tool to showcase listings, attract clients and establish credibility in the market. The websites are specifically designed for real estate professionals and come with pre-built templates and features, enabling you to easily create and manage your website without the need for extensive technical knowledge or assistance.
Josh Jerman of Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers in Maui says building his website on the platform was practically effortless. “It’s as simple as it gets,” says Jerman, who had previously hired a web developer for 20 hours to build a website for his business. When it came time to build the joshjerman.realtor site, he and his assistant were able to create and customize it themselves in just two hours.
Similarly, Lisa Kunkel, an agent with Keller Williams Realty in the Pittsburgh area, says she saw these websites as a slam dunk for her business. Before becoming a real estate pro, Kunkel worked as a website developer. So, she was familiar with the cost and effort it took to build an effective website.
