We’ve all heard about the importance of the hyper local presence, especially for the real estate agents. It might seem like a corporate buzzword, like a real estate niche, without any real meaning behind it, but that’s far from the truth. Even though it’s sometimes an overused term, it has an overwhelming benefit for real estate professionals.

- A thorough discussion of some very important key points to achieve a prodigious hyper localness and how we can help you with that
Let’s dive in.
IDX Website
As much as you can argue that the real estate industry is not about fancy digital marketing, the reality shows otherwise. Even though some real estate agents are slow on adapting new technologies, it’s undeniable the importance of having your personal website, especially in the new reality.
On one hand you have a worldwide pandemic, on the other hand a real estate industry becoming more and more monopolistic. Having your personal website that solely is in your ownership is a matter of competitiveness.
So, you decided to have your personal website. Then what? There are many great companies that provide IDX services, including creating a real estate website.
The tricky part lies in the next thing. Not many people know it, but with some real estate developer companies you don’t get to own your website fully. To set the record straight in real estate terms, it looks more like renting instead of owning your personal website.
If you ever want to move onto another real estate tech developer, this will literally mean picking up and starting from scratch. And if you’re an established company with a very strong online presence, that might be a huge problem.
Realtyna offers you a complete ownership of your real estate website for a one time fee. And if you’re a seller’s agent wanting to expand your lead generation menu, take a look at Realtyna’s new service- Own Your Data- Lead Generation for Real Estate Seller’s Agents.
