Real Estate Website Design Ideas | How to Structure Your Site for Marketing Success
What’s up y’all? So you’re a real estate investor. You’re a wholesaler. You’re a flipper. You might be doing some cold calling, direct mail, but you’re going, “I need to get leads online now.” × × Demo Carrot: How many deals are you losing to your competitor’s website? Take a Free Demo Well, you might not know how to do that, or what you put on the website, what do you say, how do you structure it so it actually performs well for you and you stop losing leads and deals. How can you finally get consistency? Well, we will show in this series how to do that, from start to finish. How to make your website finally perform for you, grow momentum, and get you more deals. So, let’s dive right in. My name is Trevor Mauch. I’m the CEO of Carrot, where we help thousands of real estate investors, and agents generate hundreds of thousands of motivated seller leads online every single year. There are a couple of things I want to go over first because we have a lot of misconceptions about online marketing when it comes to building your website. Do You Need a Website? The first one is, do you even need a website to be a real estate investor? Do you need a website as a wholesaler? Do you need a website as a flipper? As a land investor, do you need a website? I’m going to say right now the answer is no, you don’t need a website to do deals. Now, we have many clients who do deals before they make it over to Carrot. And you can do deals. You can drive for dollars. You can cold call. You can do all kinds of things and get deals. The question is… How many leads and deals are you losing because you don’t have a website or what we call an authority hub, as we’ll teach you in this series? Imagine you put out the direct mail piece. You send your nice, pretty fancy postcard or the letter out to 5,000 addresses. They get it in their mailbox, and they pick it up. What do they do next? Well, the very first thing that a lot of people do in this age of credibility, in this age of, honestly, mistrust, where people are skeptical, they pick it up, and they want to Google you to figure out if you’re legit. They’re going to Google your phone number. They’re going to your company name. They will Google anything identifiable to find you and see if your service is real. Same thing with cold calling. Same thing with text message marketing. Same thing with radio and TV advertising. All offline marketing drives online demand. So if you’re doing offline marketing, you can close deals without it. But I can guarantee you that you’re losing deals because you don’t have a website or the right structured website to win those deals, win those leads, and grow that credibility. All offline marketing creates online demand. Your website can actually help you get a higher ROI from all of your offline marketing. Quick story: Carter Steph, is one of the largest home buyers in America, the largest home buyer in Oklahoma City. And he does a lot of radio and TV advertising. He had a pretty website. It was a custom-developed WordPress website. He was getting some leads through it, but after he switched over to what we’re going to teach you in this series, he showed that he was losing about $20,000 monthly in lost deals … Continued
