Real estate web design can generate one of your strongest sources of contact for you and those buyers and sellers. So it is important to look out for some problems that may effect your real estate website; thus in turn compromising your ability to do respectable business. One of the more important things to look out for is to watch out for web designers that use a lot of standard, cookie cutter templates or so called “CMS” systems. Do you really want a website that has the exact same set up as 100 other Realtors in your area? What would set you apart? Having a real estate website in general can always give you an edge but having a site based on a professional template that is completely customized for you, or a custom real estate website will do even more wonders.

Another thing to be watchful of is to make sure to get a look at a portfolio of the person or company that is designing your real estate web site. If they are a proud developer they should have no problem handing over a portfolio of their achievements. Also ask them what they are going to differently, then every other real estate web design company or person out there.

This leads to one of the most important things you might want to watch out for when considering real estate web design. Sometimes when looking at getting a real estate web site developed, the issue of cost pops up. It is true that most companies will charge a little more than a free lance person, but is cheaper always the best route? Sometimes a freelance developer might cut corners and just push out a basic “dreamweaver template” web site; to try and get the most money out of you for a low end product. And then what do you do if there are serious problems with your site and all of a sudden the developer is nowhere to be found? Then you have to pay someone even more money to fix the website!

Think of it like buying a car. Sure the private seller is cheaper in most cases, but what does the private seller have to lose? If the car brakes down they don’t have a reputation to live up to like most good car dealerships. It works the same way with real estate web design. Most companies will have a reputation to live up to because they want to succeed in a market that is already flooded. So for those real estate web design companies their reputation is at stake.

So to wrap it up, the best thing a Realtor can do is thoroughly check out the person or company their interested in having design their real estate web site. Make sure you get great customer service and get a great running customized real estate website that stands out from the rest of thecompetition.
