Then and Now

Almost 2 years ago we took screenshots of Steamboat real estate websites for a study we were doing. Almost 2 years later (an eternity in online terms) NOTHING has changed. These companies/managing brokers don’t get it. They made their web purchase and set it on autopilot. Same head-shots, same pitch, same tired photos, same 1999 website and the same fundamentally wrong approach to real estate marketing.

Over 85% of home searches START online and these companies clearly don’t care. What an opportunity for those who do.
