How ATG scores and selects tools
Scores are editorial judgements based on published first-party information and our documented model — not hands-on testing of every product. A higher score does not automatically mean a better fit for your business.
How to choose a real estate website builder
A real estate website should give the business a dependable place to explain its value, publish useful information, capture inquiries, and control its brand over time. Agents need a new platform when the current site is difficult to update, performs poorly on phones, limits important content, or traps data and pages inside a closed system. IDX or MLS search may be important, but it should be treated as a business requirement rather than a universal starting point.
01
Ownership and control
Clarify who controls the domain, site content, analytics, forms, and account access during the subscription and after a change in provider.
02
Mobile performance
Check whether key pages, navigation, forms, and property-search experiences remain fast, readable, and usable on a phone.
03
IDX and MLS requirements
Decide whether property search is central to the site strategy and identify the local coverage, approvals, and ongoing workflow it requires.
04
Lead capture
Evaluate where forms and calls to action appear, what information they collect, and how inquiries reach the person responsible for follow-up.
05
SEO and content control
Make sure the team can create, organize, update, and measure the local pages and resources it intends to maintain.
06
Integrations and portability
Understand how leads and analytics connect to the wider stack and what content, data, or design can be exported if the platform changes.
Website builder questions agents ask
- Should I use a general website builder or a real-estate-specific platform?
- Choose from the workflow backward. A general builder may offer broader design and content control, while a real-estate-specific platform may package property search and lead workflows. Compare the requirements you will actually operate.
- Does every real estate agent need IDX on a website?
- No. IDX can support a property-search strategy, but some agents use their site mainly for authority, local content, referrals, listings, or lead capture. Decide whether search is central before accepting its setup and maintenance requirements.
- What ownership and portability questions should I ask before committing?
- Ask who controls the domain, content, design assets, contact data, analytics, and integrations; what can be exported; what happens when service ends; and whether redirects or other migration support are available.
