Effective Web Sites To Check Out

So many agent sites...yet so few make money!  It's not hard to be one of the agents who make money from hi or her site if you understand what makes an effective site...and focus your efforts on getting one.

One of our CyberStar(r) teams, Jeff & Paulia Kennedy of Trademark Real Estate, Hot Springs, AR, knows what works.  Their site designer is Point2.  I evaluate a lot of Web sites through my Web site evaluation service, and I'm impressed with Point2's complete system.  Paulia says about Point 2: 

 

"Yes, we've been using them for a while.  We have 4 websites with them & very pleased with them!  They offer very user-friendly sites that are easy to customize, great email drip systems, great seller reports, great customer service, & they keep adding new features all the time.  This is our main one, www.BestofHotSprings.com.  We also have one for our newest development, www.TheLegendsatHotSprings.com.  The other 2 are still in the works: a Senior Specialty site & a Concierge type business site."

If you are interested in making more money from your Web site, I'd recommend two things:

  1. Check out Jeff & Paulia's money-making sites
  2. Check out Point2 as a possible Web site designer
It's a beautiful evening here on the lake in Reston...hope it's a beautiful evening/day wherever you are, too!

I've also had a Point2 site for years.  I've changed the look of the site a couple of times and I have different URL's that point to sub-pages.  It is also nice to be able to create a listing and then have a a URL to send traffic directly to the listing without having to buy a separate web page for each listing as I see some agents having to do.  I'm in the processing of redesigning the site again.  Jeff & Paula's shows how much more you can do!  It's a beautiful day just down the road in Belmont Bay too!

Thanks for giving us these sites to check out, Allen. I would like to point out, however, that Point2Agent is not a "web site designer". They are a web site developer and database-driven site hosting system that provides non-customized template-based sites to their members.  There are several people available on a freelance basis, including myself, to customize Point2Agent web sites, and to whom Point2Agent will refer members who ask about web site design.

Point2Agent cites are unusual in that they are exceptionally customizable by their members as well as by actual designers like myself. At the same time, they are extremely feature-rich, powerful Web sites. Those reasons are why I specialize in custom design for the Point2Agent platform.

I have 2 websites from Point2. I am getting pretty good leads from my sites, even from the FREE one. Point2NLS is a great tool to advertise your listings

Point2 sites are awesome.  I must tell you though that you don't need a great fanxcy whiz bang design to sell houses.  I have made more money off the internet this year, so far thne I did last year with traditional marketing.  So Point2 has my vote - even though I am not at all impressed with the overall look of my site.

Now Have a Blessed Day,

Allen,

Thanks so much for featuring us in your wonderful blog post!  We feel so honored to have your recognition, and we really appreciate the compliments.  It means so much, having the guru in the technology world of real estate - give us compliments on our site. 

Now, you have motivated me to work even harder this week.  While Jeff is out hitting the streets, I'm going to focus on our website - adding more content & updating our look . . . Stay tuned for more improved features.

Thanks again Allen!

Paulia:

Thanks for your nice comment, my friend.  I wish everyone had the understanding of the role technology plays in their real estate business as you two do....unfortunately, most agents don't.

Love your focus on your (already wonderful) Web site.  Again, I wish more agents realized that time invested in one's personal Web site is time well spent on our #1 marketing tool!

Hope to see you both at Summit 2008!

It's a beautiful day here on the lake in Reston...hope it's a wonderful day in Hot Springs, too!
