Building a Realtor Site
-
1
Purchase a domain name that pertains to your realtor company, personal name or business. Your name plus the word "realtor" is a great choice for independent realtors. Those associated with realty companies may have to identify the company they work through in their domain name.

2
Sign up for a website hosting account and enter the member's area provided to you. Find the labeled nameservers codes, which consists of a string of letters and numbers, and copy them. Paste these codes into the appropriate space at the domain registrar's member's area. It should be easily marked "Nameservers." The domain name will then be connected to the hosting account.

Design the realtor web site with a free or paid template found online, such as those found at FreeWebsiteTemplates.com or TemplateMonster.com, or hire a website designer to create a unique look. If you have HTML and CSS design skills, create the website on your own. Keep the look clean and professional without garish colors or excessive graphics.

Create pages on the realtor website that pertain to the important aspects of your job. A page outlining the realtor's professional history and availability for new clients is as important as contact information. Testimonials from previous clients can help convince new home buyers or sellers to use you as their realtor.

Photograph currently available homes for sale or rent and create a page on the realtor's website, providing information about each one. Interested home buyers can peruse your listings easily online. Use a quality digital camera to take photos of both the outside and inside of the homes, especially the kitchen, bedrooms and bath.
-
6
Maintain a listing of homes that the realtor sold for several weeks after the deal is completed. Potential customers or clients who see the realtor has a good number of successful sales will be more likely to hire. Never divulge personal information about the buyers and remove the sold home information after a few weeks.
