Your Listings Are Only as Good as Your Website

# Real Estate Agents: Your Listings Are Only as Good as Your Website You're selling dream homes. Beautiful properties with stunning views, marble countertops, and walk-in closets the size of studio apartments. Your photography is magazine-worthy. But your website? It's giving "built it myself over a weekend in 2019 and never touched it again" energy. And it's costing you listings. ## First Impressions Are Everything (You Know This) As a real estate agent, you understand the power of first impressions better than anyone. You stage homes. You hire professional photographers. You write compelling listing descriptions. So why does your website look like it was designed by someone who thinks Comic Sans is a perfectly acceptable font choice? ## What Homebuyers Actually Do Online Here are some numbers that should matter to you: - **Over 90% of homebuyers worldwide** search online during their home buying journey. - **51%** of buyers find the home they purchase on the internet. - The average buyer spends **weeks** researching online before contacting an agent. - **73%** of homebuyers say they'd be more likely to work with an agent who uses video, [virtual tours](/blog/what-your-website-really-telling-customers)s, and interactive content.

There are 1.5 million real estate agents in the US alone. The ones who are winning aren't just better at selling houses. They're better at digital presence. A Weblytics report gives you a **Conversion Readiness Score** that you can compare against industry benchmarks. You'll see exactly where you stand and what specific changes will help you stand out.
