The best Real Estate Website for Realtors, in my expert opinion, is one you own, has unlimited growth capabilities, has a strong IDX, Lead Magnets, a Home Value Calculator, and Hyperlocal Information. Think WordPress.

Lori Ballen’s Tips

I’m Lori Ballen, a real estate agent, and digital marketer. For 20 years, I’ve been building websites. I’ve used boxed products, real estate broker provided platforms, and other solutions such as Market leader, Placester, and Point2Agent. By far, I prefer WordPress.

After building lead generation tools for so many years, I founded a digital marketing company for real estate agents called Ballen Brands. In 2019, I gave that company to my brothers holding a small interest. I wanted to focus my time on testing and measuring lead generation strategies. They provide real estate agent websites and services based on my personal strategies, so they will be mentioned a few times in this guide.

Here are my tips for choosing a top IDX website that acts as an asset, not a drain. There are many to choose from, and I’m passionate about the following suggestions.

1. Choose a website (such as a BREW) you own or at least can backup the database.
2. Don’t choose a website that limits you on pages, plugins, codes, etc.
3. Choose a web host you can access directly such as WP Engine or Flywheel
4. Choose a web developer that will support you as you grow, not a one and done
5. Don’t buy a real estate website in a box without knowing how far you can grow it
6. Choose an IDX that you can log into and customize such as IDX Broker
7. Be sure to register your own domain that you own and have control over. Godaddy is an easy solution for this.
8. Choose a website that allows you to use plugins or codes that create functions such as a lead generation bar or slide-in offers. After all, most of us don’t just want a website. We want leads!

Website Developers

Choose what’s right for you. Interview several providers. Compare costs, features, and ownership. You’ll want to be sure you own the domain and content and that if you move brokers, your site moves with you. There’s not much worse for search engine rankings than starting over!

Pricing: You’ll pay an affordable upfront fee to set up your website and hosting. Prices are around $1500 – $2500 for set up and integration and you can discuss payment options. Your monthly fees from there depending on your integrations such as IDX, CRM, Analytics, Lead Magnets, etc. and most find this more affordable than the leased websites. In addition, each of the integrations is set up under your name so you can upgrade, downgrade, cancel, grow, etc. at your own pace. And you own it. It’s yours.
