By Agent Image / Updated August 14, 2024 / Published January 16, 2018 / 4 min read

Online real estate marketing is a crowded, competitive arena. If you want to get ahead, you need an agent website that really stands out from the crowd. Get creative with your real estate website design. Pack your website with tools that enhance your visitors’ overall user experience. Explore how to get the best out of your online presence. Check out our list of real estate website must-haves – from elements that highlight your top listings, to tools that help you build a database of potential new clients.

1. Custom Property Display

Do you have high-profile listings? Highlight them using custom property display layouts that seamlessly integrate featured listings into the main page. This strategy makes sure that your featured properties get maximum exposure, without sticking out like a sore thumb from the overall theme of your website.

2. Property Cards

Another way to showcase hot listings is to use neatly laid out property cards. Use unique and dynamic animation effects to make the cards come alive whenever your visitors hover over the property images.

3. Lead Capture Popup

One of the most essential features of a real estate website is the lead capture tool. It helps agents build a database of potential new clients while offering their service and expertise through up-to-the-minute email reports and newsletters. Get first-time website visitors on your VIP/mailing lists seamlessly using the popup format.
