Using the web is today's customer's most preferred method of communication! Frequently asked questions Our agent web sites are designed to be a complete web site solution for Western New York Agents. They are personalized and customized by you the agent. Setting them up is quick, easy and affordable. Should I get an Agent Web Site from my company, or a REALTOR.com Agent Web Site? Always utilize your company's brand name recognition. REALTOR.com is not your company. As described below under pricing, you can get the same level of functionality and exposure by getting the our Agent Web Site AND the low end REALTOR.com page -- for less than the cost of the high end REALTOR.com page. Getting both in this manner is the best way to spend your advertising dollar. What does an Agent Web Site do for me? One word - Leads! Without an Agent Web Site to put your personal information, and contact information one click away, you are not maximizing the potential of being contacted by prospective customers world wide.
