Following up on our efforts to highlight the importance of having a bilingual site, here is another example to help you visualize what that looks like. To reiterate, a bilingual website is a great way to attract and retain foreign investors as clients. The rapid growth of off-shore buyers is one of the top reasons Vancouver’s real estate market booms in comparison to the rest of the country. Adapting your website so that it appeals to this demographic demonstrates market expertise, professionalism and cultural capital. Get on board or get left behind.
