REAL ESTATE WEBSITE DESIGN SERVICES

Click here if you want a Custom Website for a Listing?

If you want information on obtaining your own Website or want information on getting help with your Broker provided Website please read below.

You can go to www.sandytroia.com to get a better idea of what a full blown Real Estate Website looks like.

Pricing on Websites can vary. It just depends on the complexity of the site. The only way to accurately give you a quote is to meet with you to discuss your needs. We charge $50 an hour for website construction. Most websites can be constructed in 20-40 hours.
Once your website is constructed, the only thing you will need to do is add new listings and delete old ones. This can usually be done under one hour. For updating websites (adding, changing or deleting) we charge $40 an hour.

Real Estate Websites can be a little confusing, so let me explain them to you. Please read this very carefully.

Not all websites are created equal. More than likely you are provided a website by the brokerage firm you work for. These websites for the most part are very good and are very easy to add listings to. Usually you will place your home on a listing service and all of the information you provide will be copied over to your company provided website. So, how do potential buyers find this listing? 
Well, most likely they will visit your brokerage firms main website and will be filtered or directed to your listing based on what they are searching for. (size, price, location, etc.) They may also get your website if you give them your website address. The is usually the brokerage firms name, dot com, followed by a forward slash and then your name. For example: www.bigcityrealestate.com/janesmith 

So what are the disadvantages? Well for starters, take a look above at the website address. It is kind of lengthy. What about originality? Your site will look like everyone else's at your company. Another disadvantage is that these broker provided websites are usually very limited. For example you may only be able to add 6 pictures and may not have control over where items are placed on your pages. And lastly, these websites cannot be added to web search engines or directories like MSN, Yahoo, Google, etc.. For this reason alone you should consider getting your own website. It is extremely important for you to be found by certain keywords. Like your name, or like "Homes in San Jose" or "Realtor in San Jose". For more information about websites, click here.

If you decide that you want to use your company provided website, instead of obtaining your own, we can also help you. Basically all of the listing work is done by you, all we do is help with the pictures. If you provide the pictures to us, we will only charge you $25 per listing to upload the pictures.

Besides constructing and maintaining your website, we can take care of all of your Photography needs like Virtual Tours and Stills. We can also create slideshow presentations and Video Tours on CD or DVD. These are nice to give to potential clients, especially during open houses. Click here for more information on Photography Services.
