Just how crucial is website design for a property company? Could one survive without a top quality web site? Is there an alternative, such as just being listed in a few sites?
Well I say there is no alternative. For a real estate company a high class web site is unquestionably vital from day one. Looking at the ‘product’ on sale in real estate listings and it is a high priced product. But, the property company is not just selling properties, it is selling itself.
Take any other web site selling a product these days. They approach a supplier of the products and place an order. The supplier will nearly say yes to supplying the product as the business in question is paying them for the goods.
But, not a property company. Here the person with the goods is the seller of the house. It is the supplier that is going to be paying for the goods to be sold and the real estate company that collects, the roles are reversed. For this reason it is beyond doubt necessary that the real estate company does a good job selling itself.
These days it is so easy to find properties for sale online that it is impending that most people are going to perform initial services on the internet, from work or home. Most of the results will turn up through the large consolidation sites showing plenty of agent’s portfolios, but when the buyer is interested they will then visit the agent’s website hoping for more information.
This is information let's say full descriptions, a lot of photographs, floor plans, details round the local area and probably even videos of the property. A veritable collection of information stored on the agent’s web site ready to browse through and to make that decision as to whether to view. Information that has to excite the impending customer so that they arrive at the property keen to buy, rather than bore them and perhaps make them not even want to visit.
This is lots of information for a site to contain and it has to be well organised, easy to find and easy to load. The real estate company needs to be able to maintain this information to grab likely buyers to clinch the deal. If the website design is not good enough and the site looks below standard or cannot carry the required features, then this is going to harm the business, probably even making the real estate company fold.
A web site is, for a property company, a window into the properties that it has for sale. It will make finding the required property simple and allow for viewing ample of details. It should give both buyers and sellers the confidence to pick up the phone and contact the agent, either to make a viewing or to instruct a new possible sales property.
A site is an important. And the website design behind that web site is very vital to make sure that it sells not just the houses, but also the services of the real estate company.
