My website is exactly how I imagined it...
"I like the warmth of the colors, the layout and easy navigation. It looks like a custom site and that's what I wanted. I really like the move-up, starter home and luxury sections because it allows someone to look for homes within a certain price range without having to use the drop down boxes to search price, size, etc. It gives my buyers the ability to prioritize what they need versus what they want. Plus my buyers have the ability to start searching for homes and showing me what they like. I feel my sellers benefit with all the information the site provides regarding getting their home ready to sell and what to expect throughout the process. Everyone has been wonderful at Pro Step Marketing. They were very quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. I'm thrilled to have the relationship and looking forward to having a successful website."
We feel we have developed a site that stands for what we are all about....
"It covers our specific markets and makes it super easy for potential clients to get the information they would be looking for. .. every property listed in the MLS, not just Century 21 Best Mountain Properties. Right now we feel we have found the company who will be with us for the long haul, working with us as our needs change."
The customer service has been wonderful and their product knowledge is outstanding...
"We like the professional image, map search, onsite blogging and flexibility this website has to create and add content with ease. Part of our mission as the Smith Group is to always stay ahead of the technology curve in selling real estate. Our website has multiple benefits and features that no other real estate site has. This will help clients and our communities grow and exceed their goals. The Pro Step Marketing group has done a phenomenal job in building this site. The customer service has been wonderful and their product knowledge is outstanding. It has been a great experience working with them and I look forward to watching our business grow as a result of their hard work."
The site is so easy to update. We have full control over everything and don't have to wait for someone to make updates for us, WE ARE IN CONTROL....
"We love our new website! We know that a vast majority of home buyers and sellers begin their research on the web, and that means we need to have the best resources to aid them. Pro Step Marketing has provided an awesome solution. The site is so easy to update. We have full control over everything and don't have to wait for someone to make updates for us, WE ARE IN CONTROL. I am really fond of the listing manager. It will provide an edge when prospective sellers see what we have that the competition doesn't.
Buyers can easily navigate the site, view our featured listings, and search for homes by map, price range, and many other criteria. The framed IDX allows buyers to save searches so they can run them as they see fit, or stay on top of current inventory by having the system email them new inventory as it becomes available. Sellers are benefited by this system because they can view their area map and see what other sellers are pricing their homes at. To gather a more precise value, we offer seller a no cost, no obligation market analysis. The web form Pro Step Marketing designed gathers the information we need to create these analysis.
Pro Step Marketing was very professional the entire process. I could always get a human voice on the other end of my phone calls without a lengthy wait time. The employees at Pro Step Marketing seem to be cross trained well. I could ask a web developer SEO questions and a technical writer DNS questions and have an answer promptly. That is knowing your business, and knowing it well!
I highly recommend Pro Step Marketing to any real estate professional looking to better their image on the web, print materials, or any other marketing medium. Thanks Pro Step Marketing!"
They've been able to take my ideas and put them to work!...
"I love it! I think it really gives a feel for what our South Florida real estate market is all about and gives a feel of how I'm a person who loves South Florida. It's a great resource for real estate needs - the flexibility of offering all of our company's services under my umbrella, the price points and the opportunity to search bank-owned properties. From day one when I talked to Tricia (Andreassen) to each and every member of the Pro Step Marketing team has been wonderful. The patience they had working with me has been incredible. They've been able to take my ideas and put them to work!"
"The website is awesome! The main page is very crisp with great color and design. The features that we feel that visitors will use really stand out. What is awesome is the amount of leads we get from our website and how great the quality is! Pro Step has been first class from the start. They have under promised and over delivered by giving us everything we wanted and more."

I specifically was guided by a experts in each specific area to help me from project manager, graphic designer, copywriter, and technical staff...
"I like the visual simplicity and the very professional look of my website. The website is easy for consumers to quickly navigate with the roll-over graphic elements that help to highlight where to click for links to other information. It also has a very welcoming feel and I'm sure will encourage visitors to enter the site.
The easy-to-use property search feature combined with the ability to save searches or receive regular emails alerts of new listings that fit a client's criteria is definitely the feature that will benefit buyers the most. The site also includes all the information that a buyer or seller would need for their real estate transaction including information on communities, articles on all aspects of the buying and selling process, links to community resources and schools, and a blog devoted to Toledo area's newsworthy events and market conditions. My sellers will particularly appreciate having extra internet advertising for their homes in my featured listings."
All the Pro Step Marketing's people that I worked with throughout the process were very knowledgeable and helpful. I specifically was guided by a salesperson, project manager, graphic designer, marketing copywriter, and a marketing and branding designer. Now, I am starting to work with Pro Step Marketing's search engine optimization experts who are training me how to use a back office program to change text, add links and pictures and even additional pages. I am very satisfied with the website."
"I truly love it. It has all the features I am looking for in a real estate website and more. I love being able to make pages myself, now I keep the website updated. I really feel that clients get a true sense of living on an island and I don't think many websites do that. Working with Pro Step Marketing is great. I will continue working with them for years to come since it was such a smooth and wonderful experience.

We tracked direct sales from our website within 12 weeks of launch....
"Pro Step Marketing was wonderful to work with from start to launch. We love the website and are very pleased with the outcome. We are slowly adding more content to make our website a one stop shop! We like that we can change things ourselves - it is very user friendly - and we like that we can call with questions at any time. Everyone is friendly and gets back to us so promptly! We tracked direct sales from our website within 12 weeks of launch!"

The business cards that you designed for us get attention and rave reviews every single time we hand them out....
"We want to thank the staff at Pro Step Marketing for working so hard to please us. The website not only looks good, but is easy to navigate from a consumer standpoint. Making changes to content and adding pages is extremely simple and for that we are very thankful. The previous website that we had through a different company was so difficult to alter that the site became antiquated quite fast and never brought business to us, so our new site with you is really a pleasure.
Also, the business cards that you designed for us get attention and rave reviews every single time we hand them out. Our logo, designed by Pro Step Marketing, is very distinctive and the cards are so unusual that they really make a statement. In fact, most people that we hand them to ask us who created the cards, so we just refer them to you.
Again, thank you for helping us take our image and our business to the next level."
The team was very patient with me during this process....
"I am very excited about my new custom website and the finished product. I wanted a clean, uncluttered look and I think we accomplished that goal. The flash photos on the home page were used to give the consumer a feel for what the area looks like and a sampling of the types of homes we have varying from historic to modern.
I like the individual pages highlighting the communities I serve and the options to view the listings by price, map and by subdivision. There is a section for buyers and sellers that offer solutions to their questions and a chance to request more information if they don't readily find what they need.
All of the staff with Pro Step Marketing has been very professional to work with and very patient with me during this process."
I cannot say enough about their willingness and desire to ensure the success of their clients...
"My website is ME! I love the coast and I feel so relaxed when I see my site. I want to stay there! They really captured MY interest. There is an abundance of information on this site that is helpful to both buyers and sellers. When I am talking with a client, I don't always have a chance to give them all this good information. However, it is on my website for them to absorb when they have time.
What a wonderful pleasure it has been to work with everyone at Pro Step Marketing. Everyone is always pleasant and tolerant of my lack of computer knowledge. They always take the time to listen and answer all my questions right away. I cannot say enough about their willingness and desire to ensure the success of their clients. When we are successful, they are successful!"
I knew Pro Step Marketing was what I had been searching for....
I have been with Pro Step Marketing going on 3 years and they have done a fantastic job. From putting together my brand, to designing my website, to getting me ranking on the front page of the search engines they have taken care of it.
I used to have a homes.com website and this one this one is by far the most user-friendly.It looks good and offers a tremendous amount of information. Whether a client is buying or selling, this site is easy to navigate. Clients spend more time looking at what they want.In just one click they can be viewing homes.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, Pro Step Marketing and to share with you how impressed I am with my new web site. When my wife and I met Tricia and her staff at the CRS conference in Hawaii, I knew Pro Step Marketing was what I had been searching for.
Having the Pro Step team design and develop my new branding package and website has brought a professional presentation to my business and it shows sellers that I know how to market myself and most importantly...their home.
This website shows why they would want to live in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia."

Our site is a lot easier to navigate through then our old one....
"We absolutely love the website. We love the search for homes feature of the website and think that everything is set up to be very user-friendly. We have sent the link to many of our past clients and they said that it was a lot easier to navigate through then our old one. The site benefits buyers and sellers through education. Buyers can search for homes in the entire Northern Virginia area and this search comes directly from our MLS so they see every home available to them. Sellers can easily find out the value of their home and see how we market homes on the Internet. Buyers and sellers both can find out about our team and our services and see how we can better help them to reach their real estate goals. They did a great job with designing the sites and they listened to our different suggestions."
Debbie & Sarah Reynolds Reynolds Team Realty Chantilly, VA www.RTRSells.com
"We are very happy with the web site for several reasons. We have two other off-the-shelf web sites that haven't garnered much traffic from the search engines, though we have benefited from their database back ends. The previous version of bprowse.com, which I built myself, was good with the search engines and a good source of market news for our clients, but wasn't very well integrated with our home search. Much to my chagrin, people didn't stay there as long as I had hoped. Also, because it was built on a content management web application, I really couldn't improve my SEO much beyond where we were. Too many page titles and descriptions looked like other pages. Our new web site addresses each of these issues, plus Pro Step Marketing did a great job of integrating the look and feel of the site with our printed materials, so we have pretty much the same look across all of our marketing and advertising. The charge for that work is very reasonable compared to consultants I had priced in the past, and it lets me focus on doing new things to add value to the site."
I am very excited about how our website can evolve and grow with our business....
I think the 'visit our blog' and 'best buy' features are great. The site offers so many different options for buyers and sellers. The different ways to search by area, map, zip code, school district, etc. are so helpful. It's very convenient for a buyer to be able to find a potential home online, and be able to fill out a quick form to send times they are available for a showing. The reports that are available online are additional features that provide helpful information to our clients.
I enjoyed working with Pro Step Marketing. The people I worked with were very helpful and answered the numerous questions I had. Even after the site was completed and live online, I am still able to get quick answers and assistance. I will definitely recommend Pro Step Marketing to other real estate agents."
I'm enjoying doing the web maintenance myself ....
"The website has definitely generated lots of leads that have gone to closing and I've bragged about Pro Step Marketing to other people because they see how well we are doing with our site. I'm enjoying doing the web maintenance myself and have several first-page search engine rankings on at least half of the keywords I'm tracking."
"I absolutely love the website! It offers so many resources for both buyers and sellers in our area. It is very informative and easy to navigate through. On a personal note, even though the site has only recently gone live, I am already receiving quality leads. The information offered on this site is geared toward both buyers and sellers. The community information and links are invaluable to potential buyers, as well as the MLS search tool and mortgage information. The Pro Step Marketing consultants were wonderful to work with! They are very professional and helpful, and do all that they can to ease you through the development process. I would highly recommend the company to other real estate professionals!"

The final proof was done before the due date!...
"I discovered Pro Step Marketing through one of our Star Power Stars, Kristan Cole. I also searched other Pro Step Marketing designed sites and found them all to be unique, presented the best image of the agent, and most important, provided consumer friendly information of the site. The biggest advantage of working with Pro Step Marketing has been the interaction between me and the folks at Pro Step Marketing. Getting the website together and going from my ideas into a finished presentation was the pinnacle of our coordination. Very easy to communicate and most importantly the website design and final proof was done before the due date. Fantastic job. I believe the biggest asset is how easy is to take and idea from the heads of a real estate professional and turning them into a solid, user friendly, and unique web site development. Every request I have made has been responded to immediately."

A unique brand, great marketing materials and a website with first page search engines results...
"Working with Pro Step has been great! Everyone is so easy to work with and very accessible to answer questions. The site design is very unique - I think it shows off Cleveland very well and I love the "No Place Like Cleveland" in our logo and branding. People ask us all the time who did our branding because when we go to sign companies to get our signs printed they want to know where we got our design!
To be a small, boutique office even as an affiliate of RE/MAX, we are ahead of many big brokerage firms and offices in our area. The key is to be at the top of the search engines. We had the option of using pay-per-click to jumpstart the process, but we decided to go the natural route. It has taken over a year but we are now in a high position on the search engines."

Our business has improved as a result of being aware of what consumers want and need...
Since launching our website just over 3 years ago we have taken tremendous strides in our web strategy. Before working with Pro Step Marketing only 14% of our closed buyers came from our website. Now it has jumped to 39%. The leads I now get are FAR superior to the junk leads I used to get with my other template sites. I am at the top of the search engines naturally and I don’t use Pay-Per-Click. I am ECSTATIC. I am a raving fan because they did what they said they were going to do, and its producing great results. It doesn’t get much better than that!

I have over 800 internet leads in my back office. I have the Rainmaker Gooder Group that Pro Step integrated in my site last year that sends out emails once a month to them. We also have the property searches that go out to different people everyday.
I have had 4 closings over the last 2 days and 2 of them are internet buyers 50% not bad...The other interesting thing this year is that I am getting lots of Realtor referrals because they go in an search an area and I come up on top and they look at my site and feel we are the team to send their referral to...another source of business for me. I got a Realtor referral early in the year that came from a Realtor in Idaho that knew about a company move and searched the area found me again and we have 2 buyers from that....If you do not do search engine optimization you will never get anywhere you must do it to rank on the search engines.
Each year my business has increased when I started with them I was at 12 million last year I went to over 34 million in sales....My business comes from the internet, SOI, referrals and yard signs. Pro Step Marketing understands the real estate business, they are not the cheapest but they are the best in the country in my opinion."
"When going through my business transition, I knew that building my brand was something critical to my success. I had bought the franchise from my father-in-law, Clyde Davis, who had a very strong branded name in our community for about 25 years. While I was growing my target market to those outside our core area, I felt the need to strengthen the Shane T. White brand locally - particularly since local competition was increasing. Pro Step Marketing helped my brand come to life. I had saved a sketch of my initials that I had done in the first grade and I shared it with the design team. It has been amazing to see it all come together and I am so excited about what this does for me and my business."

"Pro Step Marketing is extremely professional, and they are some of the very best in the field. Their creative team took my ideas for a custom website and WORKED WONDERS with them. Not only did they develop a web system that I absolutely love, but they still make themselves available when any questions arise. Pro Step Marketing has done all the work but has kept me involved every step of the way in the process; from strategy to customer service."

"We are Number 4 on Google and it keeps getting better!
Probably the highest compliment I could give you is that we consistently receive positive comments from our clients about the site and now we dominate on the search engines for Pinehurst Real Estate. We constantly recieve emails from people surfing the internet looking for real estate in our area. Thanks to your search engine optimization, these have proven to be "hot leads" for my buyer agents. In addition, we added our IDX which flows seamlessly with the site because of the set up you provided."
"Pro Step Marketing put together a vision for our brand and how we wanted to be perceived in our market. Our new brand has emerged and is reflected throughout all of our marketing channels, from print to web. We love having a brand that captures the essence of our business and what we are about."

"The website is both aesthetically pleasing and easy for me to customize and alter depending on my needs. Users visiting the site have expressed it is easy to navigate and very informative, and it has been a true asset to my organization. Unlike many design companies, they were able to make changes during the process that resulted in a website that is exactly what I wanted, and presents Changing Lanes Consulting as a valuable resource for those seeking guidance for their real estate operations."
"I met Tricia over 5 years ago at Michael Russer Bootcamp session (where she was consulting with us) and felt an immediate connection on how we could work together to get our marketing projects implemented and take our marketing strategy to a whole new level. I feel like Pro Step Marketing is a part of my team. I have gradually turned over much of my marketing management to them as they can manage my websites, do search engine placement for me, evaluate products and help get things done..."
