Every day is a good day to update your website’s content. It’s unhelpful to regard the content on your site as finished, at best, it’s a work in progress, much like ourselves. Getting agents to recognize that their sites need tending at least weekly will go a long way to increasing their audience and site popularity.

Great article, you hit some simple, but really important points. It is important to remember the value a site CAN add, even if it is not right now. I like your point about an agent thinking they get there business from referrals, so the site is not so important. When I hear that sentiment, I think, wow, so you are getting so much business from referrals that you don’t want to get any more from your site?!

I am a young Web designer myself, but I have a lot of interest in the Real Estate world, so this is exactly the kind of thing I would like to help an agent with. Thanks for sharing the information!

IDX Plugins for Wordpress? What are you talking about. Pretty sure there is no such thing.

Katie,

Great advice. I think a good look in the mirror is just what I and others need. We need to be reminded to do this often, it is so easy to fall behind the curve. Thanks for reminding me and giving me some good indicators that change might be needed.

Katie,

Great article. You couldn’t be more right. I was recently hired on as the Director of Technology and Multimedia marketing for Lang Realty. I teach classes weekly to help agents better understand exactly the kinds of things in this article about updating their websites and how beneficial it can be for them.

I’m also in the process of a huge project to remodel the company’s current website which has not been updated in a very very long time.

These are exciting times for us.

Great article!

“The bottom line is this – no one will care as much about your web site as you do.”

There’s no better way of putting it than this. If you have reservations or doubts about your website, your feelings are justified.

If you take a quick look at your website and you do not feel any enthusiasm about it anymore, your readers will sense it and leave.

Thanks for this article, I am reminded do my own spring cleaning myself.

@Katie Thanks for the mention and I agree with your 5 tips. Real estate web sites are the ‘face’ of the real estate brokerage and agent…and it’s important that the site is relevant.

@Craig We appreciate the kind words!
