The Top 10 Best Brokerage Websites in America

This list seems decently accurate. I only check the first few sites, but they were all very high quality and I can see why they made the list.

It's amazing to watch the US-market top sites - the European real estates market is lightyears behind in terms of net competition. For example, many realtors still scan their print-classifieds and put them online.

Stay tuned for Cashin.com (the brokerage my team works within) I hear they are making some major changes that are going to make the website awesome.

I'd much rather have an optimize site and user friendly site than a flashy site that is not found easily.

I love the Briggs-Freeman site. Its beautiful.

The Meybohm site has more calls to action.
That's something I need to work on in my own site.

I think some of these sites are WAY more than 25K. The one common thing I see is that they arent really set up for great on page SEO on the homepage.

I guess that is always the trade off. You either provide for onpage optimization or you have more graphic elements.

Thanks for bringing the list.

Even though today there are a number of outdated broker sites it seems that 3 years ago the number of outdated sites was significantly greater. I think people are paying alot more attention to their web presence these days.

This is a really good list of real estate sites. It's amazing to see how fast this niche has grown on the web.

Most "old school" agents are starting to wind out. The internet is the future of real estate, and those with informative, consumer friendly websites will make it through these tough times.

Michael Oliver, I'm with you on that. Even the ones that do understand can't justify the cost in their minds. ;)

Those are some great examples. I would venture that the minimum to create sites like those with content and good design is atleast 20k.

I'm glad 99% of the real estate companies and 80% of the agents donu00e2u0080u0099t understand how beneficial having a great internet presence can be. Makes it a little easier....

wow nice sites, how much would one of these run? about 8-10k?
they should spend more on there seo

You are correct, so many are very outdated and there is room for huge improvement.

What s the criteria to be included in this list. Most lead conversions? Most functional? Most user friendly? Coolest looking? This seems like a pretty random list of so-so websites

I have to laugh a little about the number one site. PR3 and 50 pages indexed by Google and that is considered #1. Am I missing something? Lol.

My favorite is Russ Lyon's site. It is really nice. Glad you think so too!
