MLS Website for REALTORS ® – This is the one. End of Story.
Let’s explore our MLS Website Packages for Realtors ® – Quickstart, Standard, and Managed
In today’s digital age, a strong online presence is essential. Especially, for real estate professionals looking for extraordinary results. A well-structured MLS website can be a game-changer for your business!
Are you just getting started on your real estate journey? Or are you looking to upgrade your online platform? It’s crucial to understand the differences between various website packages that will convey your industry experience.
On this page, we’ll explore three distinct MLS website packages tailored for REALTORS ®: Quickstart (entry-level), Standard (mid-grade), and Managed (highest level).
Quickstart MLS Website PLATFORM
EstateVue Real Estate Listing Platform
Our comprehensive, real estate software allows us to showcase your properties for sale in an ultra-visible, buyer-centric, presentation. Homes can be sorted and searched with ease from home or on the go. Listings are presented in a highly search engine-optimized format. This ensures that your listings and more importantly, your sellers get the most targeted lead exposure possible.
Our software creates indexable search engine-friendly URLs. This means buyers can easily find properties by keyword searches related to street names. Not to mention, the elegant listing details page design makes all your listings look like they should be featured.
fresh browsing experience for buyers
A newly designed snapshot photo gallery provides a fresh browsing experience for buyers. Integrated options for virtual tours, branded and printable PDF feature sheets, tracking, and reporting*, are all creature comforts of our hallmark real estate listing software. Add to this, hundreds of 100% customizable, real estate web design combinations, and you’ve given your real estate website the ultimate edge over the competition.
MLS Listings for your real estate website
We integrate your real estate listings with your board data directly into your website. Listing integration is standard at every price point. This allows for seamless updates to your property listings. Updates can range from price changes to new photos, but you won’t have to worry about updating data in two places.
As a REALTOR® when you update your board software with your new listings, our software will pick up the changes automatically. In fact, our software talks to the real estate data. By doing so, it pulls down the listing information to your website as a search engine-friendly copy. And by doing this, it gives you the ability to create a larger website footprint. The larger your website footprint – the more traffic and leads you can generate. Trust us, your sellers love this kind of information!
Personalized, local search options
In addition to making your website more visible are the options for personalizing your listings. EstateVue allows you to customize your listings with virtual tours, videos, and extra information unique to the property. There’s also an option to upload larger, high-definition photos typically limited by board photo size limitations.
People visiting your MLS website for Realtors are introduced to EstateVue’s unique search tools. Search options get down to the local level allowing buyers to browse various listing types by custom city locations, property types, and infinite sorting options. On the selling side, the software can be configured to show exactly what types of property you want to sell.
Simply the best MLS website for realtors
The Quickstart package offers a straightforward, user-friendly real estate website design that is not commonly seen with every other sales professional in Canada. Quickstart uses a WordPress framework that is easy to manage. All website designs are colour-matched with a detailed hands-on approach.
A solution that grows with your business
EstateVue takes care of all aspects of the website setup; great care is taken to ensure that the site’s technology can be scaled outward as your business changes with the market. 80% of our custom customers start with a Quickstart package and we grow together.
Want to contribute? No problem – the front end of our website solution is driven by WordPress, one of the most flexible, powerful website frameworks in the world. Creating pages, managing content, and building your website is as easy as pie can get.
Website Security
At EstateVue we take security seriously. We want to ensure your website runs with no errors. Your site must be considered safe in both the eyes of the search engines and your website visitors. Cyber threats are pervasive and continually growing. As a result, protecting sensitive data, user trust, and your online presence is paramount.
A secure website prevents unauthorized access to sensitive data, including customer information, financial details, and personal records, ensuring confidentiality. In addition, we aim to improve compliance and enhance your SEO by adhering to strict security measures. In the long run, this helps you to confidently present a safe place for buyers and sellers.
SYNCRO Live Chat for REALTORS ®
We made the best live chat software specifically with real estate agents busy lives in mind. We get it, real estate agents are on the go – period. If you’re an agent moving mountains, closing deals, and have no time to think about technology, then SYNCRO was made for you.
Chat requests from your real estate website come in via SMS to your phone, so all you have to do is respond to your lead with a quick text. Consequently, if you can’t get to the chat right away, then our AI can handle the initial request. An automatic response from our system will engage the lead and send it to you for follow-up later. The client is happy, you’re happy and business gets done efficiently.
Yearly Updates
How often have you hired a web company only to find out within 12 months that your site is broken? Who was responsible for looking out for your investment?
At EstateVue we do things a bit differently. We conduct maintenance block checks once per year to ensure your technology is current. That means the SSL is updated, and any website framework and server updates are upgraded if available.
Keeping your technology up to date
Technology is changing and evolving so fast, that you absolutely need an engineer to monitor and oversee technology checkups. Otherwise, the result is broken sections, security holes, and glaring errors caught by potential clients.
Further, as part of our regular maintenance cycle, we update the Estatevue platform and integrate new features as part of the maintenance upgrade. If code needs to be updated or custom fixes implemented we will always do our best to include them as part of the maintenance block. At the very least, we will analyze and provide you with recommendations moving forward.
SEO Lite
All of our MLS websites for REALTORS ® have a foundation in place for SEO to flourish. SEO can become part of your marketing strategy immediately or in the future. SEO is the most important digital marketing strategy due to its high ROI over the long term.
The challenge that we understand all too well, is that it takes time to build search engine weight. With so many moving parts to SEO, it takes a village of people, and consistent, well-thought-out strategies to improve each month. Consistency is critical to ensure the work being regularly performed results in the campaign’s overall success.
Future-proofing at an introductory price point

We Believe in Crafting Compelling MLS Websites for Realtors
In the highly competitive world of real estate, a compelling MLS (Multiple Listing Service) website can be a REALTORS ® secret weapon. An MLS website for REALTORS ® is not just a digital brochure for property listings; it’s a powerful tool for building trust, generating leads, and showcasing expertise.
To stand out in the digital landscape, REALTORS ® must prioritize several key elements to create a website that captivates and converts. At EstateVue we prioritize these top 4 pillars.
Pillar 1: User-Centric Design
A user-centric design is the foundation of any compelling MLS website for REALTORS ®. It’s about creating an intuitive and visually appealing interface that caters to the needs and preferences of visitors.
Here’s how to achieve it:
- Responsive Design – Ensure that your website is fully responsive, providing an optimal user experience on various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and desktops. A mobile-friendly website is essential as many users search for properties on their phones.
- Intuitive Navigation – Implement a clear and intuitive navigation structure that helps visitors quickly find what they’re looking for. Well-organized menus and search functions are crucial.
- Engaging Visuals – High-quality images and videos are paramount. Visuals should not only showcase properties but also tell a story about the lifestyle they offer. Employ professional photography and consider incorporating 3D tours or virtual reality experiences for a more immersive presentation.
- Effective Property Listings – Each property listing should include comprehensive details, such as price, square footage, amenities, and location. High-resolution images and floor plans can provide a deeper understanding of the property. Use concise and compelling descriptions that highlight unique selling points.
- Robust MLS Integration – The heart of any realtor’s website is the MLS integration. It’s the conduit for delivering up-to-date property listings to potential buyers.
Pillar 2: Comprehensive Data
The MLS integration should offer comprehensive property data, covering the entire range of listings in your target area. It should be capable of delivering property details, pricing, and status changes in real time.
- Search Filters – Implement advanced search filters that allow users to narrow down their choices based on their specific criteria, such as location, price range, property type, and more. Users should have the ability to save their searches for future reference.
- Interactive Maps – Integrating interactive maps is a game-changer. Users can explore properties geographically, which is especially helpful for out-of-town buyers.
- Property Alerts – Enable users to set up property alerts to receive notifications when new listings matching their criteria become available. This proactive approach keeps users engaged and coming back to your website.
- Valuable Content and Resources – A compelling MLS website goes beyond property listings; it provides valuable content and resources to educate and engage users:
- Educational Blog – Maintain a blog that covers relevant topics in the real estate industry. Share insights on market trends, home-buying tips, neighborhood spotlights, and more. A blog positions you as an industry expert.
- Buying and Selling Guides Offer comprehensive guides for buyers and sellers. These resources help users navigate the real estate process and reinforce your expertise.
- Local Insights – Showcase your knowledge of the local area by providing information about schools, amenities, transportation, and lifestyle. Paint a vivid picture of what it’s like to live in your market.
- Testimonials and Reviews – Display client testimonials and reviews to build trust and credibility. Authentic feedback from satisfied clients can be a powerful persuader.
PILLAR 3:Lead Generation Tools
We feel a compelling MLS website should serve as a lead generation engine. Some of the key methods you can expect within your real estate website are:
- Contact Forms – We place user-friendly contact forms strategically throughout the website, making it easy for visitors to inquire about properties or request information. This includes forms that have been specifically programmed for each property.
- Free Valuation Tools – Our home evaluation toolset provides a unique tool that allow visitors to estimate the value of their current property.
- Newsletter Sign-Up – We encourage the setup and configuration of an enewsletter for regular updates on new listings, market trends, and real estate news.
PILLAR 4: SEO Optimization
To ensure that your MLS website reaches a wider audience, we need to invest in search engine optimization (SEO):
- Keyword Optimization – Incorporate relevant keywords, into your content, meta descriptions, and alt tags. These keywords help search engines understand your content’s relevance and will boost your site in the search engines.
- Local SEO – We recommend optimizing your website for local search by including location-specific keywords, creating Google My Business listings, and securing local backlinks.
- Quality Content – Publishing high-quality, informative content that positions you as an authority in your field will reward you with higher search engine visibility and genere more contact requests for you and your customers.
