Why is a website important?

A website offers your real estate office an opportunity to advertise your listings online, capture enquiry via email and promote your specialised skills and knowledge about a particular area. The advantage of owning an independent website is that it can be easily found via a link from your corporate website and/or from a link on a real estate portal(s) where you are advertising your listings. Once a prospective buyer, tenant or investor clicks through to your office website they will find only the properties that you are advertising. This is when you can capture the visitor’s attention with your own interesting branding and by giving them more information about your business, your staff and facts about the specific location(s) in which you specialise.

Domain Name and Hosting

With any website you need two things to get going, A domain name (The "address" or URL of a particular Web site) and somewhere to host that domain. A domain name should be something that closely matches your business and will reflect you in the market place (it must also be unique). OSL can provide both these services to you at competitive rates and saving you from needing the know how so you can just work on more important things.
