Initial impressions: It really is a minor active (not poor) but at least I can find all the crucial things I want appropriate off the bat. The ‘too busy’ comes in the form of also numerous icons and too many diverse fonts — notably in the personal residence shows.
It operates Alright with browsers other than IE…which is a blunder a whole lot of people make. Great.
Not every single one particular is aware what CMA stands for so some individuals could gloss above “Totally free CMA” that might be fascinated — maybe you should to spell that out.
Each home should to have the good deal measurement specified someplace or other, some of yours never (see 3033 Gretchen Way.- Boise – Id)
The ‘View’ on 629 Marshall Dr. – Nampa – Id isn’t a hyperlink (why?)
Under ‘Search MLS’ I was amazed to see no hyperlink to http://www.realtor.com — isn’t really that the gold common for region-vast MLS?
Many thanks for selecting a home loan/amortization calculator that works effectively.
Overall, pretty great — but probably perform on those hectic fonts.

As a former realtor and homeowner, I’ve come to realize that nobody cares who has what listing. I’d like to see a search engine by certain criteria to find a home that suits my needs. Your listing or a listing from XYZ realty, I just want a home that meets my needs. Maybe use your listings as “featured listings” with a photo before clicking and let buyers view search and view without going through you first. Just be sure to have your contact info. on every listing, even IDX. Not a bad site, but you’ll get more traffic if you let people browse all the listings easily. Good luck.
Realtor sites are so much the same. My suggestion is to get some house listings on the front page. Realtors suffer from what is called “myopia” in marketing and forget that it’s the product and customer’s needs they are trying to fulfill. Site doesn’t look too bad, but you need to highlight listings through imagery and work on sales copy for those listings. Short and to the point descriptions that attract buyers as well as sellers.
Remember, we are trying to sell homes, not yourself. Your association with your agency is enough to let someone know the credibility of the listing, it’s time to sell the properties and homes.
Uh oh, your video has a typo I just noticed. Instead of THERE it should be THEIR Home. Your video is showing how you use the Internet approach so you should be displaying that selling ability. By selling homes from your front page better you will build confidence in the seller arena as well, so focus on the selling aspect, the sold should be second. Word of mouth can go a long way in realty after the sale, but it is the result you are after and what will carry you on into your career..
Cheers
Clayton,
Your site looks great. I assume that it is replicated. Where does most of your traffic come from? I would say that your site is user friendly. However, maybe ask yourself a few questions and then you can improve accordingly. Are you being found organically on the internet? If not, then you are lost in cyberspace. Search for your particular town followed by the word “home” or “homes” or “real estate.” These are the kinds of searches that typical surfers are entering.
For example, enter “Boise Idaho home” as a keyword search in the search engines.Are you being found?
Your site has very valuable information for people living outside of Boise who have interest in relocating. I was impressed with the information regarding stats, recreation, media links, dinning, entertainment and city info. I think that is all very useful to the visitor. I guess the biggest question is….How does the visitor find you?
BEST WISHES!
