What a Tangled Web ...Site we Weave

By
Real Estate Agent with Weichert Realtors HQ
So today I decided to update and fix my website. The site was set as an agent site to market me the real estate salesperson not me the real estate brokerage and its broker of record. So I decided it needed to be less about me and more about the company and needed to help recruit agents to the office. As an owner that is the way it has to be but I agonized over the loss of the marketing materials that I have developed over the last few years to help me earn listings and buyers. So I started doing the updates and realized I can make my realtor site very basic and vanilla for now but I need to hire a web development company or consultant to perform this task as it is something that is costing me money by doing it on my own. My job is to recruit new agents to my office and list and sell homes for my clients and counsel my buyers. So advice for today is not to get tangled up in your own web let someone else weave while you go out and perform functions that actualy will produce a paycheck.

Eric:

That is such great advice, especially for those of us who are "do-it-yourselfers." I think alot of that comes from wanting about as much as you can. Trying to do it yourself you learn but you also distract yourself from the business of your business. This is a great reminder to always review the cost benefit analysis and look at the opportunity cost.

Agreed.

 

You can site there for hours and hours (and months) "playing around".  I was an I.T. guy quite sometime ago and it's hard to let go and let someone else do the site work but in the end, that's just not a wise use of my time any longer.  Good Post.
