Better than the competition allows: Real estate agent website must-haves to be better than the rest

You're looking for a new property. Where do you start your search? That's right, on the internet! 90% of real estate customers start their search online. So, it's obviously disastrous if your website can't be found or deters potential customers. That's why a professional real estate agent website is more than just a "must" these days. It's your digital storefront and the key to your success! But what makes a really good real estate agent website?

1. A compelling appearance: design and user-friendliness

First impressions count! That's why your website should be visually appealing and modern in design. Use high-quality photos and videos that show your properties in the best light. Make sure the design is clear and concise so that users can find their way around intuitively.

Don'ts:

Cluttered layouts with too much text and images
Outdated designs that are not optimized for mobile devices
Unprofessional color and font combinations

Do's:

Clear and simple navigation
Use of high-quality images and videos
A responsive design that looks good on all devices

Go one step further and offer your visitors a unique user experience. For example, integrate virtual 360-degree tours of your properties or offer a live chat function for direct consultation.

2. Comprehensive property search: Finding the needle in the haystack

Your website should offer a powerful property search function that allows potential customers to find the right property quickly and easily. Filter options by price, location, size, and amenities are a must.

Don'ts:

A search function that is not easy to find or use
A search function that does not deliver relevant results
A search function that does not allow users to narrow down their search

Do's:

A search function that is easy to find and use
A search function that delivers relevant results based on the user's search criteria
A search function that allows users to narrow down their search according to various criteria, such as price, location, size, and amenities

But go even further and offer individual search profiles. This allows users to save their dream property and be automatically notified when a suitable property becomes available.

3. Build trust: You and your team in the spotlight

Show your website visitors who you are and why they can trust you with their property search. Present yourself and your team with meaningful profiles and showcase your expertise through blog posts and specialist articles.

Don'ts:

Using generic stock photos, as these can appear impersonal and unprofessional.
Vague descriptions of your team and its achievements.
Hiding negative reviews: Instead, deal with them openly and transparently and show how you have learned from them and improved.

Do's:

Use high-quality photos and videos of yourself and your team to build a personal connection with your potential customers.
Create short and informative biographies for each member of your team.
References that showcase your expertise and knowledge in action and highlight your clients' challenges and successes.
Helpful blog posts that demonstrate your knowledge and experience in the real estate industry. This shows potential customers that you are an expert in your field and trustworthy.

Whenever possible, obtain customer references and display them on your website. This will build trust and show potential customers that you are a reliable and competent partner.

4. Offer added value: Inform and inspire

Your website should not only be a sales platform, but also offer added value for your visitors. For example, offer a guide section with tips on buying or selling real estate, or inspire your users with interior design ideas and home trends.

Don'ts:

No additional content on the website
Content that is not relevant to potential customers
Poorly written or uninformative content

Do's:

Blog posts with tips on real estate
Guides on buying and selling real estate
Market information and analyses

Offer valuable content in exchange for contact information. For example, offer a free e-book or checklist in exchange for the reader's email address.

A newsletter with current real estate listings and market information rounds out your offering and keeps users happy.

5. Become visible: Search engine optimization (SEO)

Good search engine optimization (SEO) is essential to ensure that your website can be found. Optimize your website texts with relevant keywords and ensure that the technical implementation is clean.

Don'ts for SEO for real estate agents:

Keyword stuffing: Repeatedly inserting keywords into your website content to rank higher in search results is an outdated and ineffective SEO tactic that can be penalized by search engines.
Using irrelevant keywords: Targeting keywords that are not relevant to your target audience or your real estate listings will not generate traffic and is a waste of time and resources.
Neglecting off-page SEO: Off-page SEO, such as building backlinks from high-quality websites, is just as important as on-page SEO for improving your search engine rankings.
No mobile optimization: As more and more people use their smartphones and tablets to search for real estate, it is important that your website is optimized for mobile devices.
No regular updates: Search engines favor websites that are regularly updated with new content. If you don't update your website, it will slip down the search results.

Dos for SEO for real estate agents:

Create relevant and high-quality content: Create informative and engaging content that is relevant to your target audience and addresses their needs and interests.
Optimize local SEO: Use local keywords and optimize your website for local searches to be found by potential customers in your area.
Use long-tail keywords: Long-tail keywords are more specific and less competitive than short-tail keywords. Targeting long-tail keywords can help you generate more qualified traffic.
Build high-quality backlinks: Backlinks from high-quality websites signal to search engines that your website is trustworthy and relevant.
Update your website regularly: Add new content regularly, update existing content, and fix technical errors.

Use social media to promote your website. Share interesting content on Facebook, Instagram, etc., and link to your website in your profile description.

6. Make it easy to contact you: Be available and approachable

Make it as easy as possible for your website visitors to get in touch with you. Offer various contact options, such as a contact form, an email address, and a phone number.

Don'ts:

- A contact form that is difficult to find or fill out
- A contact form that does not ask for all the necessary information
- A contact form that doesn't work

Do's:

- A contact form that is easy to find and fill out
- A contact form that asks for all the necessary information so that the broker can get in touch with potential customers
- A contact form that works and forwards inquiries to the agent quickly and efficiently

Also integrate a live chat function to answer questions in real time. This shows your customers that you are there for them and take their concerns seriously.

Remember: Your website is a central element of your marketing. Invest time and effort in creating and maintaining your website, and you will reap the rewards of your work. With a professional and user-friendly website, you will attract more customers, generate more leads, and increase your sales.

Thank you, Lennart, thank you, Reinhold, thank you, Tina!

A great product supported by a great team. We can wholeheartedly recommend Yfinite's services and look forward to working with them again.

Ziyad K
We switched to Ynfinite some time ago, and it was definitely the right decision. Previously, our internal processes and interfaces were spread across a wide variety of systems, which not only made it difficult to maintain an overview, but also made our daily work unnecessarily complicated. Our old website, which was hosted on an external server, was particularly problematic. Access was restricted, and individual customizations were hardly possible.

With Ynfinite, we finally have the flexibility we have long desired. We can manage, customize, and develop content ourselves, without any technical hurdles. The system is intuitive, powerful, and, above all, future-proof.

A big thank you goes to the entire Ynfinite team for their excellent cooperation. We would particularly like to mention Reinhold, who supported us as our contact person with incredible commitment. He was always available, patient, absolutely reliable, and genuinely interested in our concerns.

We are very pleased with this successful partnership and can recommend Ynfinite with a clear conscience!

Markus Hilgers
A huge company with top employees. And the websites in the headless CMS are the jack of all trades. That means you'll never have to create a new website again if something changes or needs to be expanded. Just come up with a new design or adjust the building blocks. So it's absolutely cost-effective and time-saving. Just MEGA. I can only recommend everyone to try it out. But be careful, success is guaranteed.
For me, there's nothing else since then.

Sonja Moog
Everything was quick and good👍👍👍👍

Bernd Weilhammer
5 stars for Ynfinite!

We are absolutely thrilled with the professional and first-class advice and the customized creation of our website by Ynfinite. As real estate agents, it was particularly important to us to have a website that is not only visually appealing, but also perfectly tailored to our needs and those of our customers. Ynfinite delivered all this and much more!

From the very first conversation, we felt that we were receiving excellent advice. The team took the time to understand my requirements in detail and developed a solution that is both functional and user-friendly. The implementation was quick and smooth, and the result speaks for itself: a modern, professional, first-class website that presents our services in the best possible light.

We can warmly recommend Ynfinite to any real estate agent looking for a customized, professional website. Five stars are absolutely deserved here!

Ludger Ernesti
This company is almost unique in its implementation of online real estate projects and brokerage services, and is particularly competent thanks to Lennart Ewers.

Olaf Ehlig
A great experience from start to finish. Lennart from the sales department particularly impressed us with his expert advice and commitment—always friendly, professional, and solution-oriented. Kudos also to Reinhold in customer support, who took care of all our concerns quickly and reliably. That's the kind of customer service you want!

Highly recommended—we'll be back! 🚀💯

Ypsolution GmbH created my website and continues to maintain it—and I am absolutely satisfied! A highly competent team, excellent advice, and great value for money.

All my requests were handled professionally, and even after completion, the support is first-class.

Highly recommended!

Ralf Schnatz Real Estate
Working with your teams was really great. Communication across all departments was transparent, always solution-oriented, and you have a very good understanding of the individual needs of customers and know how to implement them.

I also really appreciated how quickly you got to work to get my site online in a record time of six weeks. The support after the site went live has also been excellent, and not having to deal with constantly changing contact persons is definitely a plus.

Yes, I would recommend you anytime because you are an amazing team and obviously work in a particularly customer-centric way, which is very pleasant.

IMMOADDICT Real Estate Services, LLC
Ypsolution is a truly innovative company.

My new homepage needed to be designed as a premium brand, incorporating all the latest social media tools.

The highly complex module system made it quite affordable compared to other top providers.

My questions are always answered by friendly people who are very competent and proactive. You also benefit from the continuous development of the product.

Conclusion: Here, you are not left alone after purchasing the package. So far, everything is going great with ypsolution...! Small errors are fixed immediately.

Christian Ley
We at maison Immobilien are very satisfied with our collaboration with YPSOLUTION. The team is very pleasant to work with and always professional.

With the support of YPSOLUTION, we have built a new website that is very user-friendly and tailored to our company's needs thanks to flexible content and individual customizations. The easy-to-understand video tutorials for the Ynfinite software, which is used to edit the website, enabled us to quickly familiarize ourselves with the system.

The support provided by YPSOLUTION is particularly noteworthy. When questions arise, we receive quick feedback and our concerns are addressed within a day.

overall, we can recommend YPSOLUTION without reservation. The combination of pleasant cooperation, well-structured software, a customized website, and outstanding support makes YPSOLUTION a reliable partner for our requirements.

maison Real Estate
I am infinitely grateful to Ms. Gayer for creating and maintaining the content so well and for teaching me the basics of how the system works.

The launch of the website by Ms. Wetter and Mr. Müller also went very well, faster and better than I had expected. My website has become much more professional and attractive and is well received by my customers and potential customers—even compared to the competition.

What I particularly liked, and which was also a key reason for choosing this website, was that I can modify the website myself within a specified framework without having to call in a programmer or system house. This gives me a great deal of flexibility with this website.

Bertram Real Estate
We can wholeheartedly recommend Ypsolution and would like to express our sincere thanks to the entire team! Overall, the interaction was extremely pleasant and open, which we greatly enjoyed.

Their extensive experience in the real estate sector was always evident and made the relaunch of our website much easier. Our Sparkasse design differs from others in every respect, but retains its high recognition value.

We particularly like the fact that we can now design content for the website ourselves—quickly and effectively.

S Finance Euskirchen
What I immediately liked about YPSOLUTION was that the websites are clearly structured—but what impressed me most was the technology behind them. As a sales trainer, I regularly deal with agencies and websites, and I was so impressed that I bought the large version straight away.

Then I first got in touch with the copywriter, and she immediately impressed me: she's the first person in 20 years of self-employment who immediately understood the company and was able to convey a few things much better than we could ourselves. A solid A+++.

The second time I was impressed was when the site was finished earlier than expected, rather than 2 to 3 months later. Collaboration: excellent, coordination: excellent, I can only recommend them to everyone, and I would gladly work with them again.

We will continue to work together because I really appreciate the work and I would like to take this opportunity to once again express my sincere thanks for the particularly great work.

Hello Ms. Aust, hello Ms. Jakob,

we would like to thank you and your team once again for our website. Our customers, prospective customers, and the entire Hassel team are more than enthusiastic, and we can see that our online presence has become much more professional and unique as a result.

After a year of being online and developing our site, we can only say that it was the right decision to revamp our website and have you as a partner in this project.

From start to finish, you and your team provided us with expert support—a big compliment and an even bigger thank you for that! We hope to be able to return the favor in the near future.

Warm regards, Wolfgang Hassel & Chutharat Clemens and the entire team at Hassel Immobilien GmbH.

As a real estate brokerage based in Berlin, we currently operate two project websites with Ynfinite and are very satisfied with the performance, excellent customer service, and ability to customize things.

We really like the clear backend, and regular updates under the "Ynfinite hood" make the product fast and secure. 👍
