Things have gotten complicated for realtors. It can be confusing with so many options for todays brokerages and realtor on just what do to and look for when deciding on their Internet and technology strategy. Deciding on which company to partner up with, and it should be viewed as a partnership, is an important decision. Regardless of what your goals are, we have compiled a list of things you, as a realtor professional, should consider whether you are developing your first site, or re-designing a current site. 1. What does their portfolio look like? Working with an experienced firm that has developed many sites specifically for the real estate industry is important. Nu Frontiers works with some of the top realtors in the Chicago area and you can find our software on multiple highly-ranked sites on the search engines. We have been in business for over 10 years. 2. Are they focused on the Chicago Real Estate Market? Real estate is local. Use a firm that specializes in and is familiar with the Chicagoland area. Nu Frontiers is located in the Chicago area and focuses on it's markets. We can meet with you face to face. A nationally-based firm will not understand the details of the Chicago area market and might not be best suited to make recommendations to help you reach your goals. 3. Do they offer a search that is customized for the Chicago area? For downtown clients, Nu Frontiers has built a graphical custom Chicago MLS search by neighborhood and is doing the same for our suburban clients. Having an effective search is key for converting browsers to clients. 4. Are there any hidden fees? Most vendors will charge you extra for even the smallest updates to your site. Nu Frontiers includes hosting and email and maintenance in your monthly licensing fee’s. 5. Are they available and do your requests get handled in a timely fashion? There is nothing worse than investing in a website, only to have the development company go missing once the project is completed. Unlike other vendors, you speak with the person actually doing the work on your site at Nu Frontiers. There are no ticket numbers or call centers taking your requests. Ninety-nine percent of our customers requests are handled the same day. 6. Are their rates competitive and are you being locked in to a long-term contract? For the level of service and quality of work we offer, Nu Frontiers’ services and costs are very competitive and all our agreements are on monthly terms. There are no long-term commitments and if you are dissatisfied with our services, you can cancel at anytime. 7. Do they specialize in customized work? Nu Frontiers does not offer cookie-cutter solutions, thus each of our sites is it’s own application, fully customized to the clients specific needs. Going with another provider means your site might look just like the guys down the street, and usually your site costs just as much. 8. Is their back-end management system effective? Nu Frontiers’ comprehensive back-end management software has assisted in the growth of many realtors. It closely tracks the activity on your site and improves your productivity and helps you increase your sales. 9. Do they stay up to date the latest technologies?
