We see stats all the time regarding the number of people finding houses and agents online. Simply put, most agent believe they need to have a web site and there are many tools and technologies out there to make your site stand out.

One thing to keep in mind as you develop your site is that technology can actually stand in your way if you don't implement it correctly. Cramming too much technology into your site can make it bulky and hard to navigate. Adding the right technology and keeping an intuitive navigation will help your users and in the end they will enjoy your site and their first experience with you.
