A New Website...In the Making

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Don Sabinske, Sabinske & Associates Inc. 539MN

I decided on a new website.  The old one couldn't cut it, and it was costing me more and more each year.

I don't understand how real estate websites which the realtor creates himself can charge more each year for less exposure.  But, then again, I don't understand how most businesses charge fewer realtors more each year for services when there are fixed fees and less income for most realtors.  

That hasn't been the case for me.  I had the best year in the last three last year and the brokerage and myself are both off to a roaring start for 2012.  

But, back to the website.  I have always felt that our hands-on approach worked the best for us.   So far, they have done all the work.  I am a little disappointed at present, but I know that after Monday, when we get more training, we can "fix" the things that are a little off....misspellings, pictures, etc.  

So wish me luck with the new site, and it will be great to have donsabinske.com back up and running!

Best of luck with your new website! We've gone through several reincarnations with ours as well. The changes are sometimes painful but hopefully your end result will be worth it!

The new website looks really good Don.  Have you used Agent Image before and what was your deciding factor?

Christine, no this is a first for me.  The deciding factors were:  can it be customizable, can I edit it, does it pull my listings automatically, does it have IDX.  

Thanks. Shannon.  This will be a new learning experience I am sure. 

Lisa, as always, thanks for your support and comments.

Don - I clicked on the link in the post and it loooked pretty good but when I entered your web address  http://donsabinske.com/ it took me to a generic search site ..... is that where it will end up when it goes public.

Our website is bringing traffic to the business....finally.  We had quite a few kinks to work out though.
