When you follow the steps provided in this guide, building a real estate agent website on WordPress with AgentPress Pro isn’t very difficult. My name is Lori Ballen and I’m a real estate agent in Las Vegas, NV. I also build my own real estate agent websites and founded a digital marketing company called Ballen Brands which my brothers now own. They also build real estate agent websites on WordPress [BREW].
