Hartford Properties, a boutique real estate company in San Francisco, is offering users some great ways to search for the perfect property.

Users can search by:

• San Francisco Neighborhood by either clicking on one of the neighborhood links on the home page or using one of the search forms to filter by neighborhood
• San Francisco District by either clicking on the interactive district map on the home page or using one of the search forms to filter by district
• Lifestyle & Specialty Searches including New on the Market, Luxury Homes, Foreclosures & Short Sales, and we're in the process of adding searches for views such as Ocean View, Bay View, Mountain View, Golden Gate Bridge View, City Lights View, and Panoramic View.  With the MLS data fully integrated into Hartford Properties' website database, we can set up searches by any criteria as long as we're able to identify it either in a data field or in the MLS remarks.
• Sitewide Keyword Search where a user can put in their specific keywords and search for any content in the site that contains those keywords, including all the properties, blogs, pages, etc.  This is a great tool for users that have very specific property requirements.
• Quick Property Search for users to quickly find a property by the street, MLS#, or using broader search criteria.
• Advanced Property Search with more limiting criteria to zero in on more specific property features.

Hartford Properties' new website has an abundance of rich content with thousands of real estate listings, community descriptions, lots of links to local schools and businesses, and real estate information.  The site is fully indexed and searchable so the search engines can read all the pages in the site giving Hartford Properties credibility and relevance in the San Francisco real estate webspace.

Ben Coleman, Broker/Owner, loves the new website.  They can now start blogging on the site and quickly sharing their blogs and listings with one click to all their social media accounts.  They will also be taking videos of all listings, and sharing them on YouTube as well as on the Property Details pages of their new website.  All the tools for effective real estate web marketing are now available to them.  Hartford Properties can quickly and easily link their website with all their social media and start implementing all their new marketing plans.

Hartford Properties website is built on the Award Winning Drupal platform, renowned for its search engine optimized technology, easy content management user interface, and robust functionality. 

A new Responsive Design was applied to Century 21 Eudan's site late last week.  The look hasn't changed; however, the website now responds to whatever device the user is on . . . mobile phone . . . tablet device . . . large monitor . . . and provides the user with an optimum experience based on the size of their display.  Check it out on your smart phone or tablet.

Responsive design could be an expensive undertaking because of all the programming involved to make it work, but Drupal programmers have made several responsive base themes that we can use to build our designs.  Therefore, we can now offer this progressive technology at an affordable price.

Check your website analytics . . . you will see that a significant number of users are accessing your website with a variety of smart phones and tablet devices.  Moving forward, this number will get even larger, and it will become increasingly important to give all users an optimized experience on their device no matter what it is.

If you're planning to upgrade your website, be sure to consider Responsive Design as a 'must have'.   Learn more about Responsive Design.

The Greater Hartford Connecticut area just got a great new home search portal with the release of Century 21 Clemens & Sons new real estate brokerage company website! 

Century 21 Clemens & Sons is a large 3-office brokerage with approximately 120 agents serving an expansive geographic area centered around Hartford, Connecticut.   We (RealestatePointe) built and maintained their former website for the past 6 years and are very pleased they chose us to build their new website and continue to be their web marketing partner!  They also use our ShowingPointe Leads Management software to assign, manage and follow up on all their leads.  Clemens is very well managed by Curt Clemens, Sr., Curt Clemens, Jr., and Adam Clemens.

The Century 21 Clemens management team chose a clean, un-cluttered design that quickly and easily guides users to where they want to go . . . to search for properties of course! 

The newest residential and as well as the newest commercial listings are displayed on the home page so users can check back often to see 'what's new'.  Users can also create an account, save their searches, and get email alerts when new properties come on the market that meet their criteria.

They blog right on their website and with one click share their listings as well as their blogs with all their social media sites.

Every element of their new site has been built for search engine optimization. . . and with their continued blogging and social media sharing they will continue to build their search engine ranking by creating and sharing relevant and interesting real estate content.
