not only good interactive content is key but top search engine placement is a must, if the end user can not find the site all that money you spent on a flashy site is useless! Talk to a SEO Expert in your area.

Thanks Kevin

The more I think about it the more important interactivity is for the real estate agent and their online presense. Before, if you were online, you were ahead in the game. Now, everyone but the luddites are online.

How are you going to differentiate yourself from the competition. I think providing as honest and candid information to potential sellers and buyers will be the key. Developing that level of trust as a straight shooter will make you stand apart from the IDX feed on your competitors site.

I would have to say that this “no pulse” is a serious reality for a lot of Realtor sites. Often agents get too busy or too lazy, and after setting up their original site, it mostly becomes a static template site.

I just had a conversation with a past client the other week that found me on the web. He was curious if I knew what facet of my site would prompt potential buyers and sellers to call me….was it my picture, the ease of use, features etc.

I did not have a direct answer and he could not remember why he called me as well (this was 2 years ago).

As the Internet is becoming a huge starting point for most things real estate related, I think an “interactive site” that is engaging and ever changing with a pulse is going to be a must.
