01 / The Problem

Most Real Estate Websites Don't Work Hard Enough.

In real estate, your website is competing with Realtor.ca, Zillow, and every other agent in your market. The agents winning online aren't using generic brokerage templates — they've invested in sites that actually capture leads. Here's what's holding most agent sites back:

  • Generic brokerage-provided templates that look identical to every other agent in your market
  • No IDX integration — visitors leave to search listings on Realtor.ca instead of staying on your site
  • Weak lead capture — no incentive to register, no follow-up automation, leads fall through the cracks
  • Slow loading property pages — high-res listing photos killing your load time and bounce rate
  • No local SEO — invisible when buyers search 'homes for sale [neighbourhood]' or 'realtor near me'
  • No mobile optimization — buyers browsing listings on their phones have a broken experience

Features Built for Real Estate

The tools serious real estate professionals need to capture leads, rank on Google, and close more deals.

01

IDX / MLS Integration

Real-time listing search powered by your board's MLS feed — buyers search, save, and register without ever leaving your site.

02

Lead Capture & Nurture

Property alert sign-ups, saved search registration, and home valuation tools that capture email and phone before buyers are ready to call.

03

Neighbourhood & Area Guides

Hyper-local content pages for every neighbourhood you serve — the highest-converting real estate SEO content that exists.

04

Home Valuation Tools

Instant estimate widgets (powered by your preferred AVM) that generate seller leads at the top of the funnel.

05

CRM Integration

Direct connection to Follow Up Boss, LionDesk, kvCORE, or your CRM — every lead, form fill, and saved search flows straight into your pipeline.

06

Virtual Tour Integration

Embedded Matterport, iGUIDE, or video tours on listing pages — keeping buyers engaged and on your site longer.

07

Local SEO Domination

Structured content strategy targeting 'homes for sale [neighbourhood]', '[city] realtor', and long-tail buyer/seller search queries.

08

Testimonials & Reviews

Structured display of Google and RateMyAgent reviews — social proof that converts fence-sitting buyers and sellers.

09

Performance on Mobile

Listing searches and photo galleries optimized for mobile — because most buyers browse properties on their phone, not their desktop.

Built in focused sprints with weekly demos. Clean code, fast load times, and accessibility from day one.

04 Week 5–6

Testing & Launch

Cross-device QA, performance audits, Core Web Vitals checks, and a smooth go-live plan.

05 Ongoing

Post-Launch

Analytics, continuous improvements, content updates, and long-term support. We stay on as your technical partner.

01

Lead Generation Is Our North Star

We design every page around capturing the lead — not just displaying listings. Every CTA, form, and content piece is positioned to convert.

Real IDX Integration

Not a Wix plugin or a third-party iframe. Real, fast, SEO-friendly IDX search that keeps visitors on your domain and feeding your analytics.

03

Local SEO Expertise

Neighbourhood guides and market-specific content built to rank — not written by AI and published in bulk, but targeted and authoritative.

04

05

Transparent Pricing

Detailed estimates and milestone billing. You always know what you're investing before we start.

You Own Everything

100% of the code, design files, and IP are yours. No brokerage lock-in, no platform fees to a third-party IDX vendor eating your margin.

07 / FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

New development project sites range from $10,000–$30,000 depending on complexity. Every project is scoped with a full cost breakdown during discovery.
Real estate SEO is highly local and highly competitive. The biggest wins come from neighbourhood guides, city landing pages, and market report content — pages that answer the exact questions buyers and sellers are searching. We build the technical foundation and can develop a content strategy targeting your specific market geography.
Yes. We integrate AVM-powered instant estimate tools (or build custom ones) that capture seller lead information in exchange for a property value estimate. These are among the highest-converting lead magnets in real estate and can be gated at various levels of information depth.
Yes. We integrate with Follow Up Boss, LionDesk, kvCORE, Sierra Interactive, HubSpot, and most other real estate and general CRMs. Every form submission, IDX registration, and property alert sign-up flows directly into your pipeline.
