10 Best Real Estate Websites for August 2023
Just because the real estate market is sluggish doesn’t mean you can’t have brisk sales.
The secret to bucking the trend? A cut-through online presence that draws the lion’s share of prospects to your business.
And what better place to start than your website? These 10 agents have already made the leap — when will you?
Renee Grossman Miami Beach, FL
As a life-long lover of art and a one-time law firm analyst, Renee Grossman is all about the details. It’s no surprise, then, that her website is both stylish and professional — the allure of slate and the polish of marble. We deliberately chose a subdued dark theme for a sophisticated look and to emphasize her mastery of the high-end real estate market. With portals for buyers, sellers, home valuation, and property search, this website is every bit as functional as it is beautiful.
What’s unique about this website? Given Renee’s background, it was important to showcase the results she can deliver to clients. For this reason, there’s a “Case Study” section on her website where visitors can browse her marquee sales.
Michael Bell Pasadena, CA
Clarity and confidence — that’s what Michael Bell brings to the table as an agent who specializes in selling properties. His website encapsulates these qualities with its clean layout, white-and-gray color palette, and sleek lines. The marbled background lends a touch of subtle elegance, which befits his stature as Sotheby’s International Realty’s #1 agent in Greater Pasadena. Indeed, MichaelBBell.com offers a focused browsing experience without sacrificing style.
What’s unique about this website? Apart from being a market-leading agent, Michael is also an author. That’s why we created a dedicated section to spotlight his book “Seller Mistakes: What You Were Never Told About Selling Your Home and Why it Should Matter to You.”
Lowell International Realty Coral Gables, FL
LowellInternationalRealty.com proves that with clever touches, flat design can create a truly immersive browsing experience. Green is used strategically on header texts, call-to-action buttons, and other visual elements to add brightness and verve, while parallax scrolling gives the illusion of depth without resorting to skeuomorphic design. At the same time, generous white space gives your eyes the freedom to roam and appreciate all the little details that make this site special.
What’s unique about this website? Hovering your mouse over CTA buttons and agent portraits brings up the color green, adding a splash of color to the website.
The Boutique Real Estate Group Tampa, FL
True to its name, The Boutique Real Estate Group’s website has a design that feels handcrafted while being proudly modern. There’s a gilded sophistication to the website that connotes experience and prestige. At the same time, the gray-and-white color scheme has a contemporary feel that reflects the team’s modern approach to real estate.
What’s unique about this website? This client wanted no space wasted on their website. That’s why we paired full-bleed photos with parallax scrolling to create engaging backgrounds that showcase Florida’s beauty.
Properties West Realty Hullet, WY
Rustic yet refined, PropertiesWestRealty.com offers an inviting browsing experience that shows off rural Wyoming’s unparalleled beauty. Take note of how we use a leather-skin background to create texture and visual interest. Meanwhile, the big and bold pictures that grace the site are reminiscent of the wide-open spaces only The Cowboy State can offer. And to make your home search even more engaging, we also included an interactive map that has the latest homes for sale in the area.
What’s unique about this website? Properties West Realty integrates real-time weather and temperature conditions on its website — proof that it truly understands its outdoor-loving target market.
Tatiana Novick San Diego, CA
Tatiana Novick’s website is reminiscent of a deluxe brochure: straight to the point, lots of white space, eye-catching imagery — this website has it all. The clutter-free design and intuitive navigation hearken to the thoughtful service this agent provides, paving the way for stress-free and seamless real estate transactions. Because when you’re at the top of your game, your website does all the talking for you.
What’s unique about this website? Our team paid close attention to Tatiana’s “Achievements” section, laying it out like a magazine spread — complete with floating text that lists this elite agent’s achievements.
Lotzof & Associates La Jolla, CA
Inspired by modern architecture, Lotzof & Associates’ website is all about sharp lines, high-contrast design, and stacked visual elements. The image-centric site emphasizes the exclusive luxury estates the team specializes in, giving visitors a peek into the deluxe life these properties offer. The layout is purposefully simple and straightforward, ensuring that everything you need is just a few scrolls away.
What’s unique about this website? When you hover your mouse over a featured community, price ranges will pop up, allowing you to quickly find listings within your budget in that locale.
Ashley Amburgey Nashville, TN
The hallmark of good taste is discretion. For this reason, we opted for a minimalist design when creating Ashley Amburgey’s website — while also making sure that a deluxe feel comes through. Take note of how we incorporated silk-like textures into the background or how we used dark-tinged gradients for an elegant look. All this is tied together by a user-friendly layout that makes each scroll information and intuitive.
What’s unique about this website? Amber understands that for some, the best home is a new home. That’s why there’s a landing page on her site devoted just to new builds in and around Nashville.
Bruce Miller Orange County, CA
A classic style that’s elevated by sharp design — that’s what Bruce Miller’s website is all about. We went for a timeless black-and-white theme for this project, which is striking without being loud. Judicious use of visual elements allows users to really focus on what’s most important: the featured communities and properties. At the same time, this website offers people multiple ways to find their ideal home, from the aforementioned featured listings, to the interactive map, and a powerful property search bar.
What’s unique about this website? As a Compass agent, Bruce made sure to include “Compass Curated” in his website, the brokerage network’s e-magazine that offers the latest news in luxury real estate.
Barbie Butler Ludlow, VT
Barbie Butler’s website lies at the intersection of sophistication and approachability. Yes, its dark tones and gradients evoke luxury and sophistication, but it’s also tempered by pink hues, cursive-style fonts, and informative blog posts. When you visit BarbieButlerRealEstate.com, you can’t help but feel at ease.
What’s unique about this website? Featured communities are rendered as a gallery of postcard-like images, which is not only functional but also highlights the picturesque neighborhoods in Vermont.
