Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about real estate website design

How does MLS/IDX integration work, and what are the costs involved?

MLS/IDX integration allows your website to display real-time property listings directly from your local Multiple Listing Service:

  • Integration Process: We connect your website to the MLS through either direct RETS feed access, API integration, or an IDX provider like IDX Broker, showcasing properties with your branding and lead capture tools.
  • Costs Structure: There are typically three cost components: (1) One-time setup fee for the technical integration ($500-$1,500 depending on complexity), (2) Monthly/annual IDX provider fees ($50-$100/month on average), and (3) MLS fees, which vary by board and access level.
  • Maintenance Requirements: MLS data connections require ongoing maintenance to accommodate changes in the MLS platform, rules updates, and field mapping modifications.

We handle the complete integration process, including MLS board paperwork, technical setup, and search configuration, ensuring your website remains compliant with all MLS regulations and data usage policies.

What lead generation features should a real estate website include?

Effective real estate websites include strategic lead generation features throughout the property search experience:

  • Property Alerts & Saved Searches: Allow visitors to save search criteria and receive automated emails when matching properties are listed.
  • Home Valuation Tools: Interactive calculators that provide estimated home values in exchange for contact information.
  • Gated Content: Valuable resources like neighborhood guides, market reports, and buying/selling guides accessible after form submission.
  • Intelligent Property Forms: Dynamic forms that appear based on user behavior, like time on property pages or multiple views of similar listings.
  • Mortgage Calculators: Financial tools that capture leads while helping buyers understand affordability.
  • Chatbots & Live Chat: Automated or live assistance to engage visitors and capture inquiries after hours.
  • Exit Intent Popups: Targeted offers that appear when users are about to leave your website.

We implement a strategic mix of these features based on your business model and target audience, ensuring they enhance the user experience rather than interrupting it, and connect to your CRM for seamless lead management.

Properties with virtual tours receive 87% more views than those without, and we ensure these features load quickly and work across all devices. We can either integrate tours you've already created or connect you with professional virtual tour photographers in your area.

How do real estate websites handle SEO and local search?

Our real estate SEO approach is highly localized and property-focused:

  • Neighborhood Content Strategy: Creating dedicated pages for neighborhoods, communities, and developments with unique content that establishes local expertise.
  • Property Listing Schema: Implementing structured data markup specifically for real estate to enhance property listings in search results with rich details.
  • Google Business Profile Optimization: Setting up and optimizing your Google Business Profile with property categories, service areas, and regular updates.
  • Hyperlocal Keywords: Targeting specific phrases like "downtown lofts with rooftop terraces" or "lakefront homes in [specific neighborhood]" that match searcher intent.
  • Review Strategy: Building a system to collect and showcase client reviews both on your website and on third-party platforms.
  • Dynamic Listing Pages: Creating SEO-friendly URLs and metadata for individual property listings that feed into search engines properly.
