Real Estate Agents should have websites!
In the 21st century, a realtor website is mandatory. More home shoppers expect a website that they can use to educate themselves and feel more in control of one of the biggest decisions that they will make in their lives.
Independent research has shown that home shoppers prefer to use real estate agents that have a full functioning website as opposed to agents with no web presence or just a page on their companys website.
Out of 1200 homebuyers, nearly 78% (936 shoppers) said that using agents with a website made a substantially large difference in their home buying experience, particularly with finding available homes at their leisure without sales pressure.
This trend is expected to continue in the near future as more people from generation X and Y (those that have grown up with internet technology) become first time homebuyers.
What does this mean for real estate agents? This could mean that agents without a sufficient web presence may start to see a drop in their business in the near future.
