The realWITS Company Launches Websites for Real Estate Companies Dubbed “Smarter”

An experienced and respected real estate participant and An experienced and respected real estate participant and SEO adviser has launched a new company, realWITS, to help brokers design actionable real estate company websites, get better results and learn how to integrate sales campaigns with modern techniques of leveraging real estate SEO benefits, providing interactive customer service and challenging not only with local online competitors but also with highly recognized online consumer real estate portals.

Real Estate Web Development Demands Compelling Websites

The company’s mantra is “Smarter Real Estate Websites,” and its mission is to educate real estate professionals about online marketing trends so that they can create more functional websites, optimize searches, integrate modern applications and produce dynamic content.

The real estate industry has traditionally resisted change, but modern real estate Web development and real estate SEO for websites require transformations from conservative advertising and marketing strategies to engage new generations of clients.

Randi Thornton, founder of realWITS, has built a reputation as the go-to SEO Google Gurufrom many years of experience in website development, online promotion and the real estate industry. Many real estate websites treat their online efforts as sideline activities or hobbies, and after working with big branded real estate company websites, Thornton feels strongly that the industry fail to take advantage of their full online marketing potential.

Major problems in most company real estate websites include the following shortcomings:

• Brokers do not control their online presence and messaging.
• Website designs fail to meet the needs of people who search online.
• Real estate websites struggle to achieve strong SEO rankings because of the original website build-out.
• Lack of regular technology upgrades force websites to become outdated.
• Failure to take advantage of website lead-generating capabilities.

Smarter Websites Integrate Design, Content and Functionality

Many real estate companies limit their prospects by only trying to compete with other brokerages, a strategy which fails to take advantage of today’s technologies used by other successful industries and the interactive potential of online marketing.

A popular destination real estate broker website strategically focuses on integration of successful leading websites approaches across all industries, and marketers need to incorporate key elements of design, fresh content, Google rankings, mobile technology, and fast processing speeds to keep up with competitors.

Savvy real estate brokers can optimize website performance by considering the following elements of design and function:

Create Distinctive Designs

Website design generates the platforms that launch successful online real estate marketing campaigns, and conceptual elements should compel a casual online website visitor to engage with actionable functionality by incorporating visually appealing design, easy to navigate structures and an intuitive user experience.

• Forward-thinking real estate brokers will take a look around them and learn from other applications that have gone viral.
• Stunning designs often depend on using a simplistic look and feel, clean site architecture, complementary color schemes, accessible search and intuitive controls.
• Functional copy includes compelling content that delivers quantifiable local communications that help buyers make informed and quicker buying decisions.
• A real estate company website needs to offer photo-centric platforms for property listings.
• Websites attract and retain buyers and sellers with property explore functionality that exposes robust search activity.
• Proper usage of on-site real estate SEO including keyword density, on-page SEO best practice techniques, optimize company brands, local authority rankings and online reputations.

Fluidity VS Static

Smarter real estate company websites create fluid designs that make incorporating changes and updating copy easy to accomplish. Google search engines now place great emphasis on freshness of content when ranking websites in organic searches. Effective sites leave room to make modular changes in designs and copy to take advantage of new technology and online trends.

Growing Impact of Mobile Devices

Consumers increasingly use their mobile devices to find products and services, keep track of personal appointments, make social connections and interact with local businesses. Real estate company website designs need to look good and provide searches with the information they seek on a variety of mobile-device screens.

Monitoring Traffic and Online Behavior

Analytic tools study behind-the-scenes practices and chart consumer behavior to help website owners tweak their designs, change their design strategies and respond to customer concerns and feedback. Smarter real estate company websites use these tools to generate leads, predict consumer behavior, stay ahead of marketing trends and create better real estate SEO campaigns.

Real Estate SEO Marketing

Real estate SEO (search engine optimization) marketing works differently than traditional advertising, and learning to leverage the benefits of on-site SEO helps real estate companies establish online authority, build reputations, interact and create enthusiasm for buyers and sellers, regions and neighborhoods.

Clever brokers will take advantage of unique community real estate data so people revisit for information and connections with a relevant, trend setting online real estate source.
Pinterest Type Usage of Imagery

Effective online real estate marketing requires correct usage of photos to productively showcase properties. No matter how well written a property description is it will never grab the attention of a buyer better than a picture will.

The main emphasis of a company real estate website should be imagery that tells a story and conveys “I want to see more” from buyers, says Randi Thornton.

The realWITS company offers expert real estate company website design, on site-SEO application, education, and strategy for savvy brokers who want to produce above-average returns from their online marketing dollars. The company will function as an authoritative source of designs, strategies and consultations on all the issues that impact a real estate company website.

About realWITS.com
Randi Thornton founded a mortgage company in 1994 and built her first website during the early years of the Worldwide Web to promote the lending business, but she became increasingly fascinated with the real estate side of the mortgage industry. After selling the first business, Thornton was contractually bound by a non-compete clause, so she began working in real estate as Franchise Sales Director for Realogy, parent company of Coldwell Banker, Century 21, ERA and Sotheby’s International Realty.

The realWITS project successfully brings together the real estate, website design and SEO techniques that Thornton used in business and makes them available to real estate companies that want to maximize their online marketing efforts by staying ahead of fast-changing technology and evolving online promotional trends.

My Carpet Pal Rotovac 360i Turning Heads Everywhere!

The carpet cleaning industry has really come a long way since the invention of the first hand held carpet cleaner in 1956 invented by Mr. Harry Rench, CEO and founder of Rench Manufacturing Company. The first designs had some very evident limitations that Mr. Rench tried to fix and improve the drycleaner’s for carpeting. The vacuum had a very nice appealing look to it and was equipped with an electric cord. Most people at the time couldn’t afford to buy these newly invented cleaning machines and Mr. Rench rented the cleaning machines out to people wanting to clean their carpets. It was like a dream come true for most people with carpeting in their homes.

Over the years, the carpet cleaning machines has gotten a lot better and with the technology of the twentieth century; Mr. Rench’s ideas of carpet cleaning has taken off to a whole new level of carpet cleaning. One of the concepts that really helped the carpet cleaning industry become the great industry that it is today is the advent of the portable extractors and later the truck-mounts. Prochem industries are one of the major leaders today in the technology of carpet cleaning using the truck mounting delivery system. Practically, all of the carpet cleaning professionals today use truck-mounts with the jet spraying system.

Mr. Steve Allison invented the first carpet cleaning wand which he referred to in his patent applications to a method and apparatus for cleaning and rinsing carpets. This was actually invented in 1991 and assigned with the United States Patent Office. Mr. Allison invented a wand that could actually clean and dry the carpet at the same time which was really unbelievable at the time. The concept of the wand was like washing your clothes and drying them in the same machine; it was truly another big breakthrough in the carpet cleaning industry. The wand actually helped to revolutionize the carpet cleaning industry and it is still a major force of the carpeting business today still while we talk at this moment.

Since the invention of the carpet cleaning wand; several companies have industrialized the wands – making them lighter and with better water jets. Prochem has one of the best carpet cleaning wands today on the market with their six (6) jet titanium light weight wand which sell for about $1,299.00 retail. These new revolutionary carpet cleaning wands are a carpet cleaners dream come true. Now there’s a new kid on the block and it was invented by Mr. Cliff Monson called the Rotovac 360i and the Hyrdamaster RX-20. These rotary giants have taken carpet cleaning and steam cleaning to an entire new level in the cleaning business.

The Rotovac carpet cleaning machine is an excellent tool for carpet cleaning. The machine delivers effortless, self-propelled cleaning with the touch of a hand. The rotary heads thoroughly deep clean carpet with hundreds of multi-directional movements. The 360i is light weight at only 39 pounds and super easy to operate. The Rotovac is definitely turning heads in the carpet cleaning business and the companies using this technology will do a better job cleaning your carpeting in general. There is no comparing the wand and the 360i Rotovac. Simply put, if you want your carpet cleaning company to really turn your head with their cleaning habits; chose a company that use the Rotovac technology for standard carpet steam cleaning procedures.

The history of carpet cleaning and carpet cleaners is very unique. My Carpet Pal residential and commercial cleaning company have invested a lot of time and resources in advance technology and cleaning tools in general. We use only the best tools and provide the best services for your home and business cleaning needs. Our company is located in Southern California but we are in the process of expanding our services daily.

Rupert Everett stars in the West End in January, leading a star-studded start to the London arts & entertainment calendar

January in London brings well known actors including Rupert Everett, Rufus Sewell, Kristin Scott Thomas and Rowan Atkinson to the London stage, offering visitors a wide choice of top class theatre. Travellers arriving from outside London can conveniently book their accommodation on LondonTown.com, where there’s a wide range of London hotels available to book, including hotels to suit all budgets.

Everett’s career-defining performance as Oscar Wilde in ‘The Judas Kiss’ is certainly a highlight of theatre in London this month but there are other high profile events to tempt visitors to the capital including the latest Cirque du Soleil show, ‘Kooza’, at the Royal Albert Hall, ‘The Sleeping Beauty’ at the London Coliseum, and the London Boat Show at the ExCel Centre.

There’s contemporary art by the German-born photographer Juergen Teller at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and art to buy at the London Art Fair which returns for its 25th year, gathering over a hundred of London’s best galleries under one roof.

Phorego is Launching a Global Social Transportation Network

In addition to public and private transportation, Phorego is building a new genre: Social Transportation. While public transportation is inflexible and private transportation is costly, social transportation will be fast, flexible and inexpensive or free.

The vision is big and the time is right: With slow economy and high gas prices, people wants to save money or generate new revenues. Ridesharing/Carpooling is supposed to be one solution. But current products/services in the market have not been able to address this, because many are inter-city oriented, or don’t have real-time active matching, or operate like a taxi/shuttle service, or mandate a fare and charge a fee. The end result is that the vision is still just a vision.

Convenience and ease of use is the key: Phorego delivers real-time matches to your e-mail or phone with continuous status updates; its street-level matching engine is primed for ad-hoc intra-city use. Safety is another: Phorego lets corporations, universities, governments and communities create and operate their own rideshare groups. Even the general public can do so to improve the safety factor.

Why not pick up your neighbors and get to work in 1 shared vehicle instead of 3 individually? On your way to pick up your uncle at the airport, may be you can give another arriving passenger a ride? How about those working late one night and need to get back home? The college students who want to go back home on holidays? The guys who have too much drinks in the bar at 3 o’clock in the morning? The use of social transportation is endless. Sharing vehicles let riders save time and money while drivers make some extra cash. Roads will be less congested and even the environment wins.

Currently the service is available in USA/Canada on PCs and MACs. Mobile versions are coming starting January 2013. Multi-language (French, German, Italian and Spanish, Chinese) version will be available when the service expands into Europe in 1st quarter of 2013.

As a promotion for this launch, Phorego is offering corporations, universities and communities to create their own rideshare groups for free. Start one now before it expires.

About Phorego
Phorego (fôr’i-gö) originates from the word phoresy (fôr’i-se), which is a term used to describe ‘a relationship between two organisms in nature in which one gives the other a ride’; like remoras and sharks, or fungi and bark beetles. Phorego’s vision is to transform commuting, travelling, carpooling, ridesharing into a new transportation genre: social transportation, and build a global social transportation ecosystem.
