As the real estate industry changes, the emphasis on a brokerage’s marketing abilities and use of technology are growing more and more important. In an age where more than 90% of home buyers start their search online, a successful real estate firm should have the online presence needed to capture buyers. Furthermore, a quality brokerage needs to have the technology resources available to both buyers and sellers to make communication effortless.
Hilton & Hyland Rolls Out New Website
While it may not seem like technology and marketing savvy would be important to the purchase of a home – it is. Particularly in the luxury sector, where many buyers and investors are purchasing from outside of the immediate area, ease of communication can be crucial. Therefore, every two years, Hilton & Hyland makes sure to launch a new website that would not only modernize our brand, but make responsiveness seamless, search engine optimization enhanced to maximize incoming traffic, and load times faster than before.
