Your Listing Presentation Starts Online
Buyers and Sellers Check Your Website Before They Call
Almost every real estate client starts online. Buyers search homes on their phones for weeks before they contact an agent. Sellers look up two or three agents and compare their websites before they choose who to invite for a listing appointment. Your real estate website is part of your listing presentation, whether you are in the room or not.
Most agent websites fall into one of two traps. Some are broker-provided templates that look like every other agent in the office. Others are pretty brochure sites with no home search, no neighborhood content and no reason for a buyer to come back. Neither one builds a brand or a pipeline of leads.
We design real estate websites that do both. The design reflects your brand and your market, and the site is built around what buyers and sellers actually want: search homes, learn about neighborhoods, see proof you get results, and reach you fast. The image above shows a real site we built for the Imperato Fazzino Real Estate Group, on a laptop and a phone. Every site is mobile-first and built on WordPress so you own it.

Real Estate Website Best Practices
Design Elements of the Best Real Estate Websites
The best real estate websites combine strong branding with practical tools. These are the design elements we build in.
We also avoid what drives real estate visitors away: slow listing pages, forced registration before anyone can see a single home, autoplay music and cluttered home pages. A buyer should be able to browse freely and choose to register when saving searches becomes worth it.
Broker templates and national platforms launch fast, but they rarely rank for your neighborhoods and can be hard to take with you if you change brokerages. A custom WordPress site with IDX is yours, builds your personal brand and moves with your career.
Pages That Rank in Your Market
Pages We Build for Real Estate Websites
Portals like Zillow dominate generic searches. Local agents win with neighborhood and niche pages portals cannot match.
Community pages are where local agents beat national portals. A detailed page on a specific subdivision, written by an agent who actually sells there, can outrank a portal for searches like homes for sale in that neighborhood.
If you already have a site with rankings, we protect them during a redesign by keeping the URLs and content that carry value. Browse more of our work in our portfolio.
Who We Design For
Websites for Every Part of Real Estate
Different real estate businesses need different tools. We design around how your clients search and decide.
Built to Be Found
Real Estate Website Design and Local SEO, Built Together
Real estate is intensely local, and so is real estate search. Buyers search for homes in specific neighborhoods and school districts. Sellers search for agents who know their area. A real estate website that is not built for local search leaves those clients to portals and competing agents.
We build every page with clear titles and headings, real estate agent schema and location details that match your Google Business Profile, which is the foundation of local SEO. Community pages are planned and linked so Google understands the areas you serve.
More buyers and sellers now ask AI assistants for agent recommendations. Clear bios, reviews and well-structured community pages give AI search engines accurate information about you to share.
Features That Work Hard
Built-In Tools for Agents and Brokers
Your website should generate and organize leads for you. These are the tools we build into real estate websites.
Our sites run on WordPress hosting built for Core Web Vitals, managed by the same team that builds them. Want a second opinion on your current site? Start with a free website audit.
Texas Requirements
TREC Notices Every Texas Real Estate Website Needs
Texas real estate license holders have two website requirements that many agent and brokerage sites miss. Under Texas Real Estate Commission rules, each broker and sales agent must link to a completed Information About Brokerage Services notice in a readily noticeable place on the homepage of each business website. The link must be labeled Texas Real Estate Commission Information About Brokerage Services in at least 10 point font, or TREC Information About Brokerage Services in at least 12 point font.
TREC rules also require a link to the Consumer Protection Notice in a readily noticeable place on the homepage, labeled Texas Real Estate Commission Consumer Protection Notice in at least 10 point font, or TREC Consumer Protection Notice in at least 12 point font.
We build both links into every Texas real estate website we design, in a visible spot on the homepage. This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm current requirements with TREC or your broker, and remember that your MLS and IDX provider have their own display rules for listing data.

FAQ
Real Estate Website Design Questions
IDX home search, community pages for the areas you serve, a strong agent bio and brand, seller and buyer resources, reviews, easy contact on mobile and, in Texas, the required TREC notice links on the homepage.
IDX lets your website display MLS listings through an approved IDX provider, so buyers can search homes on your site instead of leaving for a portal. Most agents who want buyer leads benefit from it. Your MLS and IDX provider set the display rules.
Texas brokers and sales agents must link to a completed Information About Brokerage Services notice and to the Consumer Protection Notice in a readily noticeable place on the homepage of each business website, with specific labels and font sizes. We build both into every Texas real estate site.
It depends on the number of community pages, IDX setup, integrations and whether we write the content. We scope the project first and give you one number in writing before work starts.
A custom WordPress site on your own domain is yours. We set it up so your brand, content and rankings can move with you, with updates to broker information as needed.
Not for broad searches, but local agents can win neighborhood, subdivision and niche searches that portals do not serve well. That is why we build detailed community pages into every real estate site.
Yes. We design sites with owner services, tenant resources, online rental applications and maintenance request forms, connected to the property management software you use where it supports it.
