In today’s digital age, having a well-designed website is crucial for any Real Estate Business. A website is often the first point of contact between a potential client and a real estate agency. So it is absolutely essential that your website leaves a great first impression!
“Too many agencies are seriously undervaluing their websites’ potential to produce a consistent stream of qualified leads. If setup correctly – your website can magnetise leads into your pipeline.”
Matt Ensing
But what makes a great real estate website? Whether you’re a large agency or a one-man band it is absolutely essential to have an optimised and lead-converting website. In this article, we’ll discuss some tips and best practices for designing a real estate website that will impress your audience and help you stand out from the competition.
1. Keep It Simple And User Friendly
Your website should be easy to navigate and understand. Use clear and concise language, and avoid cluttering your pages with too many graphics or information. Your visitors should be able to find what they’re looking for quickly and easily.
2. Make It Responsive
With the rise of mobile devices, it’s more important than ever to have a responsive website design. Your website should be optimised for all screen sizes, from desktop to mobile devices.
3. Use CTA’s
Your website should encourage visitors to take action, whether it’s to contact you, schedule a viewing, or sign up for a newsletter. Use clear calls to action throughout your website to guide your visitors towards the desired action.
4. Highlight Your Team
Your website is a great place to showcase your team and their expertise. Include bios and photos of your team members, along with any awards or accolades they’ve received.
5. Showcase Your Listings
One of the main purposes of a real estate website is to showcase your listings. Ensure your listings are easy to find and browse, with high-quality optimised images and detailed information.
6. Incorporate Reviews
Reviews from satisfied clients can go a long way in building trust and credibility. Include reviews throughout your website, either as part of your listing pages or on a separate page.
7. Optimise For Search Engines
Finally, make sure your website is optimised for search engines. Use relevant keywords throughout your website to improve your visibility in search engine results pages. If you don’t already have your Google Search Console account set up, now is the time.
