How to convert an ordinary real estate investor website into a successful one?

Many people are confused as to why only a handful of real estate investor websites can create tons of leads while most of the sites hardly ever do? Majority of the agents create a website only because their competitors have one. Many agents are confused as to how should a real estate investor website look like. Agents want their websites to have animation, graphics and look attractive.

The three basic elements for successful real estate investor website are as follows:

Try to attract potential prospects. Build a targeted list of prospects to follow up with and lastly, convert prospects to paying clients. If an agent provides information like their credentials, services on the website it may be boring for prospects. It may not attract qualified prospects. It won't motivate them to provide you their contact information.

Always target on prospects problems? Find a solution to solve their problem. Content should be based on their problems. A prospect wants answer for his problem. He wants tips as to how he can get a mortgage, how to find that right home or sell his house at top price and what are the best schools in that area. They want to know if a single parent has the capacity to buy that house. Prospects would want to know whether the new house has any damages for which they have to pay to get it rectified. They want tips as to how they can negotiate the best price.

If there is good content in the site 50% of your problem is solved. The other 50% depends on the fact that the prospect should be able to find the information easily. If someone visits your site, you have only three seconds to attract his attention. Prospects don't read pages. They just want information that interests them. If they don't find anything that could benefit them, they just leave the site and start their search. Agents think that prospects can find information in the website easily. They think that prospects can easily learn the site navigation and browse through all their great content. The fact is, prospects will not do not anything like this. You have to guide them by telling them they should click this link to get the information that they need. You have to guide them that if they want free consultation they should fill a form etc. Your end goal should be to get their contact information and permission to follow up with them.
