This guide is for an agency or an agent who shows their own listings. Such a website has five jobs, and each one brings you closer to an inquiry.
What a real estate website needs
A search on a map
Buyers want to see where a home is before they read about it. In MyHome, the pins and the count follow every filter, with no page reload. Buyers can also draw the exact area where they want to live.
The map runs on Google Maps, which needs a Google key and may cost money on very busy websites.
The details your market uses
Add a field such as floor, lot size or pool in a few clicks, from 9 field types. Show sizes in square meters or square feet, as your buyers expect. Each field you add can show in the search and on the listing.
A way to reach your agents
Every listing shows its agent, with a phone button and a short contact form next to the photos. Each agent also gets a page with their own listings and reviews.
Search pages that Google can find
Every search gets a clean web address, and its title is built from the filters a buyer picks. For your other pages, MyHome works with the free Yoast SEO plugin.
Your language and your currency
Translate or rename every word and web address in one panel, with no extra plugin. Prices show in your currency and number format. Each website runs in one language.
Pick the design closest to your agency
Each one is a complete website, imported in one click.
Every design comes with the same features, such as a side-by-side compare of homes and a page for your whole team.
