What is a Real Estate Multisite (Franchise) Solution?
The key to success for every real estate business nowadays is a converting website. Thanks to modern technologies in the field such as IDX and WordPress, creating a converting website is far from impossible. I’m not saying it is easy but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. First, let’s figure out what a real estate franchise basically is and how they can deal with multiple websites.
What is a Real Estate Franchise?
A real estate franchise is a venture in which a franchisor and a franchisee work together to expand their real estate brand and strategies.
In real estate, a franchise is usually a group of brokers who share the same operational and marketing approaches.
In the United States, major brokerage firms such as Century 21 and RE/MAX are franchises. These franchises have offices all over the world. They hope that the consistency in their strategies will help them grow in the fierce competition of today’s real estate market.
What is a Multisite Solution?
Well, as mentioned earlier, members of a franchise follow a consistent strategy to promote and expand their business.
One of the most important aspects of this is multiple websites. A real estate franchise may include multiple agents. Often, the franchise offers web development for their members. But this can be way ahead of their pay grade or technical expertise.
In this case, the remaining option is to outsource the entire process third parties or let the members figure something out.
Either of these cases, the success rate is very low and franchise fall short of their consistency ambitions.
What they CAN do is to try a multisite solution. This will help them create as many websites as they can with a core structure and shared databases.
