In 1999, Apptech purchased the assets of Premier Agents, a leading host and designer of websites for
real estate agents. Since that time, we have been involved in developing features specific to the industry. Realtors
are in an unusual situation:
- they need a website, as many people do research on the web prior to actively
looking for a new home (and often choose a realtor based on that research)
- they typically are not inclined to spend $5000 on a website, until they see how much ROI they can recover
- they need a content management system, to make (often) daily updates to online home listings
- they often need (or want) access to MLS searches, so that visitors will return often
- they want to keep visitors on their site
Because of programming overhead, the features listed above are usually mutually exclusive, and such a site could be
relatively expensive.
Apptech to the rescue. Because we already have a stable codebase for the applications described above, and
experience with realtors, we can build such a site for under $2000 -- sometimes a lot less, depending on requested customization.
Combine this with our templated Express websites, and you can have what
the "big boys" have for a fraction of the price.
Real estate sites may include any combination of these features:
- Home listings, with pictures, descriptions, prices
- Client testimonials, with pictures
- MLS database searches (where available)
- User tracking
- Contact forms
- Advanced metrics system to track hits, referrers, keywords, path tracking
- Multiple email accounts
- Content Management System for uploading images, adding/deleting/editing records
- Backend database
- All sites are turn-key, ready to run
