What is a Single Property Website?
Although the definition exists in its name, a single property real estate website can often be confused with a traditional real estate website that you or your end users may be more accustomed to. That said, we thought it would be helpful to clearly define the most common characteristics of a single property website. Here are some of the top ones that you need to make sure that your single property currently has or will have (should you consider getting one after reading this post):
- Features a single home / property / parcel of land
- Sits on a unique domain name (usually the property address)
- Photo gallery of property images
- Virtual tour of the property being featured
- Map / directions
- Listing agent / broker information
- Lead generation form(s)
How to Use Single Property Websites Effectively
Before you go throwing up a website for every property in your inventory it is important that you understand how to effectively use a single property website. The last thing you want is an unmanageable list of web pages that represent every property in your inventory and that contain little to no search visibility or conversion value. These single property websites need to help you impress your seller and sell the home you’re featuring so make sure you use them optimally. Make sure you can check off the items below for your single property site.
Must-Have Features
- Aesthetically pleasing, conversion oriented design
- High quality property photos – images with zoom in / zoom out features are recommended
- High quality virtual tour(s) – video virtual tours are recommended
- Online map with location of property – Bing or Google Maps are recommended
- Well written copy and information about the property
- Open house alerts / calendar
- Unique .com domain – the property address or short description is recommended
