Default Do real estate agent really need to have a website?

I decided to put on my devils advocate cap and throw out something to get members postings. SO....

Do real estate agent really need to have a personal website

I'm not going to say that real estate agents should not have a web presence, just do they need to have the own personal website? There are plenty of third party sites for posting listings. Many of these sites get better traffic, have larger advertising budgets, and have more access to real estate information. So why spend hours every day keeping your personal site updated, fighting a losing SEO war, and getting only a few hundred visitors?

How does having your own site really make you stand out as a Realtor? Does the extra time spend on your own website benefit your clients more than other advertising methods? If you think so, what is your proof?
