REMAX.com Redesign
July 2nd, 2009 categories: Real Estate Listings
RE/MAX International just rolled out a newly redesigned and improved REMAX.com.
A few things I like:
You can view comparable sales and even request a comparable market analysis.
There are articles for home buyers and sellers.
Listings show large photos and a photo slider.
You can request a showing.
Your search results will recommend other similar properties.
You can also view market statistics.
Listings are mapped out for easy reference.
I do not like the fact that users cannot search multiple towns in one search or search by map. I e-mailed RE/MAX International already to express my disbelief. This is just plain silly.
As the now #6 real estate website and #2 franchise on Hitwise’s Top 20 Real Estate Websites, RE/MAX needs to step up and reclaim the spot as #1 franchise by offering a better product than consumers can find on Realtor.com.
Jessica,
Agreed. The site is much more clean and crisp . I think the white space is great and it is much more functional providing that user-friendly experience.
I think RE/MAX is in the process of upgrading the site even more with the likes of map searches and additional functions as well.
The back-end is also superb for the agents who work at RE/MAX since 6,480 leads are giving out per day due to all the traffic RE/MAX.com receives.
On a side note, I think slowly but surely market share and traffic will be taking away from Realtor.com and going to more specific sites such as a RE/MAX.com and other consumer sites such as Trulia and Zillow. We just wrote a blog post recently about not being happy with the cost involoved that we have been paying for years to Realtor.com to enhance our listings there and not receiving any tangible benefit over the years as well - that article is:
