Demo sites: real estate

Website design for real estate brokers and brokerage agencies

A real estate broker website should show complete listings that are easy to filter, make booking a visit simple and collect requests from owners thinking of selling. Like any brokerage advertising in Quebec, it follows OACIQ rules, which means the agency name and the broker's title appear on it.

Habitas Immobilier

Real estate brokerage agency

The Habitas name rises letter by letter behind a brick house, against a sky that ripples under the mouse; listings filter by type and price.

What should a property listing include on a broker's website?

People read listings on their phones, often in the car, parked in front of the house. A listing opens with the asking price, the area, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, then large photos. Next comes what gets people to tap "Book a visit": year built, lot size, municipal and school taxes, renovations done, heating type. Filters by property type, town and price save buyers from scrolling through fifty houses to find two. When a property sells, the listing changes status or comes down according to OACIQ rules and the agreement with the seller.

What does the OACIQ require in a real estate broker's advertising?

A broker's website is advertising, and the OACIQ regulates real estate brokerage advertising in Quebec. The best-known point is that the broker's name goes with a title that matches their licence exactly: real estate broker or residential real estate broker. The name of the agency they work for appears clearly too. Claims like "sold in record time" and unsourced statistics are best avoided. These rules change over time, so the copy is checked against current OACIQ requirements or with the agency's executive officer before launch. A plain, accurate page beats a pretty one you have to take down after a notice.

Why build a website for a single property for sale?

A luxury home, a waterfront cottage or a large country estate sells poorly in a standard listing. A dedicated site with its own name has room to tell the property's story: floor plan, video tour, aerial views of the land, the neighbourhood, work done over the years. The broker shares one simple address on social media and on signs. Serious buyers get enough information to book a visit already knowing what they are coming to see, which saves everyone time. The site follows the same rules as any listing, with the agency name, the broker's title and contact details in plain view.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions: Real estate

Does a real estate broker need their own website if they are already on Centris?
Centris shows listings, not the person. Your own site presents you, your areas and how you work, and it collects requests from owners thinking of selling. It is also an address that stays yours if you change agencies.
Can a broker's website offer an online home evaluation?
Yes, as a request: the owner describes the house and the broker comes back with a comparative market analysis. Use the word "evaluation" with care, since the chartered appraiser title belongs to a different professional order.
How do you build a website for one house for sale?
Start with one long page that tells the property's story: photos, floor plan, video tour, land and neighbourhood. A visit request form and the broker's contact details stay visible throughout. The Domaine Belvédère demo shows this format.
Are Domaine Belvédère and Habitas Immobilier real?
No. They are two demo sites with made-up names, one for a property for sale and one for a brokerage agency. The addresses, prices and brokers shown are fictional.
How much does a site like these cost, and how long does it take to go live?
The price is set after a no-commitment scoping meeting, based on the number of pages, the languages, the copy to write and features like booking or an online store. A simple showcase site goes live quickly; an online store or a client portal takes longer. If you have a fixed date, we build the schedule around it.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain name is registered in your name, the copy, images and analytics are yours, and the code is handed over on request.
