What does Real Estate Webmasters do, exactly? An AR Special Promo / Explanation
(Summary) Real Estate Webmasters (REW) is best known for our high end custom website developments, search engine spiderable custom IDX and dominant organic search engine performance. Some examples of our more noted works are: buysarasota.com, jimolenbush.com, hartanovteam.com, and realsourcebrokers.com (see realestatewebmasters.com/portfolio/ for more examples of our custom works).
So yes, it's true! - Real Estate Webmasters is a super high end custom design firm that can pull off any kind of project, assuming our customers have the appropriate budget and imagination. And yes, on truly "custom" projects, budgets can be significant. But what surprises many people who only know us for our custom work is that we offer amazing (search engine friendly) DIY platforms & products at surprisingly low costs.
Our CORE platform for instance costs only $40 (USD) per month and includes the industry's best content management system custom built for ease of use and search engine performance, a listing management system (unlimited listings), a complete, multi-tier lead management system, 24-7 online support, hosting and email service. Combine that with the FREE education on search engine optimization, lead follow up and tons of other things we provide via our super popular Realtor Forums and you have a platform that is tailor made for the ActiveRain member who already inherently understands the fundamentals of content development and its impact on search engine performance. You might have a few holes, or need some tweaking, but this is where the 20,000 strong at the Real Estate Webmasters Community can help.
Our template based products: A Real Estate Webmasters template website is the perfect launch pad / platform for the entry level agent or those suffering significantly from the current economic crisis but still have the need for a very professional and search engine friendly website that allows them to work on the quality of the content and SEO without incurring additional billing. As your budget / comfort level increases you can increase the features of your template (add a built-in multi-user blog skinned to match the template, add a search engine friendly IDX or quick search, or any of our other "common upgrades") . Templates do have a $740 USD setup fee, and are well worth the price of admission - but make sure you READ ON as there is a very special offer below that is for ActiveRain members only. *Spoiler - we are waiving the setup fee
New! LEC program (Limited Edition Customs): The LEC Program is Real Estate Webmasters's most robust and popular program. You get the high end look & feel of an REW custom, exceptional conversion, search engine performance and flexibility, market exclusivity and a total feature package ranging in value from $30,000-$40,000 depending on the selected version - all for $10,000 or less. This is a program for the "advanced" user who understands and appreciates aggressive search engine marketing, wants the highest conversions possible, and desires to instantly have the top end website in their marketplace. In fact, the LEC's are not meant to just compete with "local" realtor sites - these sites are designed from a technology and search perspective to give Realtor.com a run for its money. *Yes, we will be offering a special discount to AR members on our LEC products as well.
Some Example LEC's:
LEC Version 1: BocaHome.com (pilot project) - Retail price $8000 + hosting
LEC Version 2: MarkZProperties.com (read what Mark had to say after launch in this post) - Retail price $10,000 + hosting
LEC Version 3: BestSkiProperty.com - (this one has a custom color scheme on it, showing what can be done to make an LEC even more market specific) - Retail price $8000 + hosting
LEC Version 4: MyHomeHouston.com - (Steve was also kind enough to post his results thus far, in this thread) - Retail price $10,000 + hosting

Questions to be answered on ActiveRain Only!
Part of the reason we are offering such a large variety of our most common products on special here at ActiveRain is to introduce the membership to everything that we have to offer. As such, we are implementing a special caveat to our normal education process should you wish to take advantage of the savings - you MUST post your questions here at this post on ActiveRain (specifically in the comments section on this post).
This way, everyone else reading the post can see the answers and get educated on our products at the same time, and it helps us to streamline our ability to get to everyone in a timely and complete manner. So if you have questions, ask away!
How to place your order
Once you know exactly what you would like to order, head on over to the ActiveRain order form. This is a special custom order form we've created specifically for this promotion, and it is the only way to place your order and to get the discounts on services. When you fill out the form, we will create your customer account from the info you give us, and send your invoice / paperwork. Once paid, you are in the queue (it's first come, first served so get in early!).
Don't worry if you don't know about everything you want - you can always add items later - most importantly you need to decide whether you want a template or LEC and if you go for a free template, your other big decision would be whether to spring for IDX (which hopefully is a no-brainer). Here is a permalink to the order form as well http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/active-rain/order.php
Okay folks, let's get this promotion started! If you have questions or comments please leave them below – we will be here to answer them. If you want to order something, please head over to the ActiveRain order form. From our side, we'd like to thank ActiveRain for reaching out to us and encouraging us to sign up as AR's very first preferred website vendor. We look forward to taking very good care of all your members.
