I’ve been driving by this house near where I live. It’s been for sale for ages, same Realtor too. The housing market isn’t what this post is about, however. Rather, it’s about what was on the Realtor sign–a website.
Fair enough, I was curious to see what the price for said home was so I did what anybody driving in a residential neighborhood would do, I used my mobile device to check out the Realtor’s website.
Now, unless you’re the type that drives around residential neighborhoods stealing open Wi-Fi networks, then the only way you’re going to remember/visit a website for a Realtor while driving is by writing it down, or using your mobile device.
An increasing number of people have mobile devices, so if you have a business model where the possibility of having a higher than average mobile visitor to your website, you better make sure your site is mobile friendly.
This one wasn’t. My Andriod could zoom in here and there, but it was cumbersome to click on links and find the info I was looking for.
So attention Realtors, do yourself a favour by leading the pack and ensuring your website is not only well optimized, but mobile friendly as well.
