Finding Realtors with Websites
Built by Specific Website Providers

In The Mortgage Marketing Manifesto, I covered how to find Realtors® using some general searches on Google and the large real estate portal websites.

That works well, but you’ve got to sift through the results to find the agents that have websites.

Here’s another prospecting strategy for you that yields nothing but agents with their own websites…

There are a lot of real estate website template companies out there.

Many of them have hundreds, thousands, and in some cases, tens of thousands of Realtor® clients…all with nearly identical websites.

That makes their clients easy to find—if you know what you’re doing.

The good news is: even if you don’t, I do.

I’m going to share with you how to strategically target Realtors® in YOUR market that are using some of the most popular real estate website companies out there.

A few advantages of targeting Realtors® with websites include:

  • Most of them are full-time and more serious about their business than agents who just piggyback off their broker’s website
  • Most of them are doing marketing and trying to generate leads
  • Most of them have mortgage content on their website, which typically does nothing for them at best, and actually hijacks their traffic at worst
  • Once you get your landing pages onto one of their sites, showing other agents with the same website provider how it works is even easier.

The key to successfully prospecting Realtors® online is in understanding how search engines work.

Each search engine will produce different results, so if you plug the same search phrase into Google and then Bing, you will know you have “exhausted” a search phrase and can move to a new one.

Trigger Words/Phrases

There are “trigger word/phrases” that you can add to just about any search string that will further define your search results and help you find prospects you would not have found otherwise.

Whenever you type in a specific search phrase and you’re looking for an exact match of that phrase, such as Mortgage Center, you must place that phrase in quotes—“mortgage center” in order to yield an exact match.

If the segment of the search string is only one word (or has no spaces), for example—Apply—you don’t need to use quotes.

Here are some examples of trigger words and phrases:

  • Apply Now
  • Apply Online
  • Apply Today
  • Branch Manager
  • Financing
  • First Time Homebuyer
  • Get Pre-Approved
  • Home Search
  • Home Sellers
  • Loan Application
  • Loan Officers
  • Mortgage Application
  • Mortgage Calculator
  • Mortgage Center
  • Our Team
  • Relocation
  • Search for Homes
  • Staff
  • Staff Directory
  • Your Home’s Value

You can also use large brokerage names to find agents with a specific agency:

  • Better Homes and Gardens
  • Century 21
  • Coldwell Banker
  • ERA
  • Exit Realty
  • Keller Williams
  • RE/MAX
  • Realty Executives
  • Sotheby’s
  • Weichert

To define geographic targets to include in your search strings, include one of the following:

  • Area Code
  • City
  • City, State
  • State

To “attach” search strings together, use a plus (+) sign. This will produce results that match your specific criteria of websites that ONLY include your trigger words + a reference to, for example, the city or state you’re targeting.

Real Estate Website Companies

Many real estate website providers brand their websites with phrases like “Website Built by _________”, which makes it easy to find their clients.

You literally copy and paste the phrase into Google (in quotes) + any city or state you want to target and there you go—a list of every Realtor® in that area using that specific website template provider.

The following is a breakdown of some of the largest real estate website template providers in the US, along with search strings on how to find their clients.

Keep in mind: including trigger words/phrases within these searches allows you to create even more customized and specific results.

One last thing: I’d include examples of these websites, however, most agents change website providers every 1-2 years, so including URLs is pointless as the website providers are not going to stay the same, and if anything, would create confusion.

The good news is: adding your landing pages to any of these websites is a matter of copying and pasting links on the desired pages.

All of these sites are customizable and ALL OF THEM need conversion optimization.

TIPS:

  • Replace the references to “STATE” with an actual state, city, or zip code you want to target
  • Add additional trigger words/phrases to any of the search strings below to get more specific results
  • Copy and paste the search strings in the boxes below to find tons or Realtors in YOUR area!
