RealestatePointe ™ has been serving the technology needs of the real estate industry for over 10 years. We are a group of real estate professionals with diverse backgrounds in all aspects of the industry providing a holistic approach to our clients' web marketing strategies.

In 2009 we recognized that technology business models were in flux and that proprietary software models (developed, sold and supported by a single vendor organization) were under a clear threat from Open Source software solutions. The threat stems not only from the fact that the cost to deliver and maintain proprietary software is much higher, but most importantly, it is because single proprietary vendors can't possibly keep up with the new innovations taking place in the Open Source projects.

So in 2009 we decided to stop developing on our proprietary platform and began writing real estate modules and IDX data-handling modules for the real estate industry within Drupal’s core content management web publishing platform, the largest Open Source project dedicated to social publishing.  We now provide complete real estate brokerage web marketing solutions for Drupal, including training and support, maintenance, expertise, and consulting.

Drupal represents the convergence of web content management software and social software tools in a single unified platform. It presents a far more attractive total cost profile and delivers new functionality more quickly than proprietary vendors by cultivating a large, active development community.

Since Drupal is based on completely standard web technologies, the supply of skills is vastly greater and the cost considerably lower than with proprietary systems. Even more significant is the fact that the cost of keeping pace with the momentum behind the Drupal community is mind boggling. Proprietary software vendors just can't keep up with the mounting changes, and given their fixed pool of technical resources, the challenges become overwhelming for most.

In the meantime, the Drupal platform presses on, the developer community grows, the quality of the platform improves and the community of professionals dedicated to the platform's success expands.  Among the nearly half-million Drupal sites are some of the best-known business brands including Adobe, Fox, Intuit, Mattel, Sony Music, The Economist, and The Whitehouse.  Drupal has achieved critical mass illustrated by its 611,000 members of Drupal.org; 250,000 downloads per month; 400,000 active, live web sites built on Drupal; and 4,400 Drupal modules available to Drupal developers.

Our decision to adopt an Open-Source business model and our move to the Drupal platform has been a very wise decision for our company and for all our customers.  The Drupal platform allows us to focus our energy on creating the best possible website marketing solutions for real estate brokerages using the most progressive, relevant, and search engine friendly technology and software available today.

We stay in tune with real estate trends and economic conditions affecting the real estate industry, listen to our broker clients and users and combine what we learn with our knowledge of web usability and architecture. Our primary concern is that your real estate website is found and that it has all the right tools to encourage a steady flow of leads.  We consult with you to determine what is important for your business now and in the future, and design a solution based on your individual needs and budget.

RealestatePointe is located in Northeast Ohio. We have customers all across the United States including in the U.S Virgin Islands.
