I sampled 4,192 real estate businesses across 24 cities and audited every website I could find, 2,231 of them. Here is how the competition stacks up, and where it slips.

The average across all 91,904 websites I audited.

How Our Pricing Works
Why pay too much for your real estate web designer?
There is nothing to finance here. Your real estate website costs $0 to build, then $95 a month for everything after that. The site is yours from the first month, not after two years of payments. Start generating buyer and seller leads on day one, and cancel any month you like.
How much do I pay today?
Nothing upfront
$0 to build. Design, words, illustrations, SEO, launch. Your first $95 is your first month, and you don’t pay a cent before your website is live and working for you.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about real estate web design
Everything you want to know about getting a website built for your real estate business.
What's the most important feature for a real estate website?
Property search with filters (price, beds/baths, location, property type) and map view. Buyers want to browse listings on their phones at midnight. Make search fast, mobile-friendly, and up-to-date.
Should I show sold properties on my website?
Yes. Sold listings prove you close deals. Showcase recent sales with prices and days on market. It builds credibility with both buyers and sellers researching your track record.
Do I need a home value estimator on my real estate website?
Yes. Homeowners considering selling want to know what their house is worth. An instant estimate tool captures seller leads before they contact other agents for valuations.
Should I have agent bios on my website?
Absolutely. Show headshots, neighborhoods each agent specializes in, years of experience, and recent sales. Buyers and sellers want to work with local experts, not generic agents.
How do I get buyer and seller leads from my website?
Easy consultation scheduling, home value tools, buyer/seller guides, and clear contact options. Remove friction to reaching out. Most people will contact 2-3 agents. Be easy to reach.
How critical is mobile for real estate websites?
Absolutely critical. Home buyers browse listings on phones constantly. If property search doesn't work perfectly on mobile or photos load slowly, they're using Zillow or Realtor.com instead.
Should I show sold properties prominently?
Yes. Sold listings with prices and days on market prove you close deals. Buyers and sellers want proof of recent success, not just active listings anyone can post.
Do I need IDX integration or manual listing updates?
IDX integration for automatic listing updates. Manual updates mean stale listings and angry buyers calling about sold homes. Automation keeps your site current without constant maintenance.
Should I focus on buyer leads or seller leads?
Both. Home valuation tools attract sellers, property search attracts buyers. Serve both audiences and you'll generate more total business than focusing on just one side.
How quickly will I get real estate leads from my website?
Google Ads and Facebook ads generate leads quickly. For organic SEO, 6-12 months in competitive markets. Most agents see better ROI from paid ads and Zillow than pure organic traffic.
