Re: Do real estate agent really need to have a website?
Summit,
I'm a competitor to Trulia, Homes.com, Realtor.com and other general real estate listing sites. However, we have a big philosophical difference and actually provided services that promote agents.
First, I do think Realtors should have a strong web presence. The reason I am asking these questions is 1) I'm trying to get some interesting and vigorous discussions going; 2) I am seeing more and more Realtors creating websites without first thinking about why they need a site or what they want from the site.
In general I would like agents to step back and think about why they need a website. I would also like agents to think about how to make their sites different then other sites. In short, answer the question "Why should visitors come to my site and not another site?"
PS. I've been "poking" around this site for a year and a half. That includes several periods when almost no one else was posting.
