Hi George...

I did some searching and came
up with quite a few sites that
look like this:
http://www.mekus.com/homeeval.asp

Is that it???

And people are paying $150 per
month for that?

Another question - is it the
agent that actual gives the home
evaluation, or is this some sort
of automated thing?

Thanks,

-Bryan

Bryan,

That one is a Success Website.
Once you receive the request for evaluation you are on your own: do the research, contact the client, etc.
A Success Website promoted right, is effective in generating the leads. You have to convert the prospect into a client.
The price that you have to pay for a website is always a matter of perception. I agree with you: is a little bit too much.

Easy navigation, easy to find information and offering the right information will bring people to any website.

Hi George...

Thanks for the reply...

I'm wondering - is it JUST
that one page, or are all those
links and reports and what not
available in the navigation bar
on the left also included? I guess
that would be a little better value
if so. And, I clicked on the home
page of the site above - is that part
of the success web-site as well, or
is that the agent's own web-site
built from scratch?

Basically I'm just wondering what
part of the site above is "successwebsite"
material, and what is not.

Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

Hi Bryan,

Success Websites are offered in three levels: from $50+ to $150+. Of course, more money means more features. The company is providing the reports for you, very good tracking system, IDX framing, etc. All the websites look alike, however you might have some choice for colors and some text positioning. My last experience with SW was about two years ago, for a brief period of time.
For my current website, I am using some of the ideas from SW (sign-in before you get something) because is working, also I try to incorporate ideas suggested by the people in this forum and from other marketing sources.
The site evolved from a different base and is a work in progress. The basic is to keep it simple and to offer the information that people want.

I have seen people here that are real experts in website design, SEO and marketing. All that we have to do is to implement and test all or just some of the ideas shared here and we will have the dream website to generate quality leads and commission checks.

What anyone think about to use classifieds advertising for promotion your realty website?

Effective Real Estate Advertising

The success web site will give you ways to market the website. There is also a gurantee that if you market the way they say and don't make an extra 60k that year, they will refund your money. You get 2 free months, maybe not enough time to thoroughly get results, but enogh time to see what SW has to offer and what requirements there are to get that refund. What the heck, I'll try anything if its free. Even if you get 1 closing deal off the site, it will pay for itself in a year.
