As a real estate agent; you need to focus on your core business, not worry about your website. You need a website that will generate leads to help grow your business, represent yourself and your brand online, showcase your listings and save you time. On top of that, it has to be easy enough that you can manage everything with ease and without technical experience.

When creating your website, there are 2 main options: Create your website from scratch with a web design and development team or use an existing web platform. Let's compare the options side by side:

RealtyNinja Website vs. Other Real Estate Website Platforms

Not all real estate website systems are created equal. Some even advertise a lower monthly fee but charge you extra for features or setup.

	Other Real Estate Website Platforms	RealtyNinja Powered Website
Setup Fees	Some providers charge a non-refundable setup fee when you sign up, just for creating your account	We don't charge a setup fee for creating your website
Contracts	Some providers lock you into contracts and minimum terms	We don't lock you into a contract, you can cancel anytime
Paid Unlockable Features	Certain providers charge for additional (essential) features on your website One-time payments and ongoing monthly charges added to your bill	All of our features come standard for everyone, in one low monthly fee We don't have locked features that you pay extra for
Offshore Support	A few providers force their customers to use a chat box for support with non-local staff Some don't provide phone support at all	We are based in Vancouver, BC. You can reach us by phone, email, chat or setup a meeting
Credit Card Required Trials	A few platforms require you to enter your credit card information just to try out their system	We don't charge our customers to try out our system
Outdated Designs	A lot of other real estate website providers have outdated designs	Our designers jobs are to stay on top of the latest trends in web design to ensure our themes always look great
Complex Interfaces	Some pay-as-you-go systems are so complex you'll need to hire a technical assistant to figure it out	We keep things simple. If you're a non-techie you can use our platform (and we can help if you need it)

IDX Listing Integration	Wordpress itself does not have MLS® data access, you may be able to find data providers that integrate with Wordpress but they would charge you their fees (setup fees + monthly costs) Without it you can't have a custom MLS® search or automated listings	We are an authorized third party MLS® data vendor We tie in directly with MLS® so we can provide the most powerful MLS® search and listing integration available
