Real Estate Template Website
Posted in Real Estate Website Reviews By Lynn Cromer, Tuesday, November 18, 2008.Not sure we're allowed to mention names of companies which provide for a fee, real estate templates, along with drip email campaigns, etc. If we are, I would love to have people's feelings on several, including z57 realprosytems, advancedaccess, and alamode. These seem to offer what I am looking for, but a couple offer stealth (hidden) advertising, and more SEO management and leads which I think would be worth having. Does anybody have these websites and can offer their opinions as to the worthiness of them? I'm not sure I want to spend thousands of dollars to have a personal site created yet, with business so slow.

Lyn,
Your list of website companies includes all the supposed "top" website companies. As an example, Advanced Access claims to have more than 36,000 Realtor clients. This means that in almost all markets they have multiple Realtor clients who are competing with each other. How can a company like this give a Realtor a competitive edge over other clients in the same market. A true marketing/advertising agency does not accept competing clients as that would not be ethical.
Our market conditions require that a Realtor MUST advertise in order to capture market share. With business slow one must just increase market share to maintain sales levels. There are many successful Realtors who are achieving annual incomes of over $100,000 today. They are employing highly competitive Internet marketing programs that are generating volume leads.
The website companies on your list are all very successful at SELLING websites but their sites are not very successful at generating leads. They do have a limited number of Realtor clients who have achieved success because those Realtors have spent thousands of dollars above and beyond the cost of the templated website.
The simplest way to select an Internet marketing company is to call the Realtors you find on page one of the search results. They will tell you who they are using and what their experience has been. Of course, you should call Realtors outside of your market as your competitors are not likely to want to help you.
