Now that more than 80% of real estate transactions in the United States begin with an online search, according to NAR, you have no choice but to create a powerful web presence.
It is more than likely that you already have a website, or several, up and running in an effort to capture leads. However, if you are like most agents, you’re probably feeling somewhat disappointed in the results that your website has yielded so far.
