Free Property Websites

Leave a reply

There’s no doubt that to be successful in real estate you need a website, a property website, in particular if you’re looking to sell a deal. Property Websites are popping up all over the Internet and for good reason: They are an effective way to get people to view your properties as well as interact with potential buyers all over the world.

There are lots of companies and services that are selling websites for individual properties. You basically go and buy a domain name (i.e. 1234MainSt.com) and they allow you to use one of their templates and host the site for you.

Although this isn’t a “terrible” solution for a property website, it’s not the best alternative. You can get a property website that is more effective, better optimized, and less expensive. Continue reading →

This was actually REALLY cool!

As I was creating the first training video, I went through the EXACT same process I teach you live (and without prior research). And I just happened to use Austin as my local area search criteria. I wound up finding the domain “houseaustin.com”. Now, I know you’re probably thinking, “that sounds kind of stupid”, BUT, there are over 100,000 searches on that keyword term a month, and 40,500 on the specific phrase. Now, from an SEO standpoint and traffic standpoint, there’s some stuff we can surely do with it ;-).

I always have people that get bogged down or overwhelmed with some of the basic elements required to get websites up and running. So… I’ve gone ahead and put together 3 specific videos on: Continue reading →

1 Reply

Real Estate Investing gurus have been peddling websites since the very beginning ranging anywhere from $30-40/month upwards of several $100 per month with sign up fees ranging from “waived with a one year contract” to “$3000+”.

And here’s the kicker, most of these sites are TERRIBLE.

Most of these real estate websites don’t do anything for the investor whatsoever. (Click Here to watch our recent training video on local real estate website traffic)

I can’t tell you how many people I know have bought these websites, spent thousands on them, and have never received so much as a single lead.

The problem is this… MOST of the people selling these real estate investor websites don’t actually know anything about driving real buyer and seller leads, letalone on a local level, which is (a) more effective, and (b) less expensive.

We’re going to focus on setting up a LOCAL real estate investor website Continue reading →

In order to be successful, however, it’s critical to begin finding buyers for a successful REO business.
