The top 10 advantages of using responsive design in real estate



As a real estate agency, having a website is essential for showcasing your properties and attracting potential buyers. But in today's digital age, it's not enough to simply have a website - it needs to be responsive and user-friendly.

Here are the top 10 advantages of using responsive web design in real estate for estate agencies:

  1. Improved user experience - Responsive web design ensures that your website automatically adjusts to the screen size of the device it is being viewed on, providing a seamless and intuitive browsing experience for your visitors.
  2. Increased mobile traffic - With more and more people accessing the internet from their smartphones, a responsive website allows you to tap into this growing market and attract mobile users to your properties.
  3. Enhanced search engine optimization - Google favors responsive websites in its search rankings, so implementing responsive design can improve your search engine visibility and drive more organic traffic to your site.
  4. Improved conversion rates - A responsive website makes it easy for potential buyers to browse and contact your agency, leading to higher conversion rates and more successful sales.
  5. Better brand consistency - A responsive website ensures that your brand and visual elements are consistent across all devices, helping to establish a strong and professional image for your agency.
  6. Increased social media sharing - A responsive website makes it easy for visitors to share your properties on social media, expanding your reach and generating more interest in your listings.
  7. Enhanced accessibility - Responsive design ensures that your website is accessible to users with disabilities, increasing your potential customer base and demonstrating your commitment to inclusivity.
  8. Reduced maintenance costs - A responsive website requires less maintenance and updates compared to separate mobile and desktop versions, saving your agency time and money.
  9. Improved customer service - With a responsive website, potential buyers can easily access your contact information and make inquiries on the go, improving your ability to provide timely and effective customer service.
  10. Future-proof design - As technology and user habits continue to evolve, a responsive website ensures that your agency stays ahead of the curve and can adapt to changing market conditions.

In conclusion, using responsive web design in real estate can provide numerous benefits for estate agencies, including improved user experience, increased mobile traffic, enhanced search engine optimization, and more. Investing in a responsive website can help your agency stay competitive and drive more successful sales.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

What is the Base Zapier integration? The Entegral Base system was recently improved with a native Zapier app integration . This allows estate agents to exchange data and create automated workflows with over 2000+ popular apps, including all the leading CRM specific apps.  Why even link a CRM system? Although Base has contact management, contact categories, automatic lead import, and other great CRM features , users sometimes require very specific CRM functions that we don't (yet) cater to. With our Zapier integration , we allow agents to link any popular app with Base. Once linked with your app, you can for instance automatically synchronise your contacts from Base to the external app or vice versa.  The added benefit is that you can create automated workflows and link more apps (e.g. insert contact details into a Mailchimp drip email campaign  and ZOHO CRM at the same time). This makes the Zapier fee irreverent compared to the derived benefits.  Automated portal lead import from
