Neighbourhood or niche websites are a great way to target a specific farming area. The key is building a website that provides value to your visitors, shares your knowledge on a specific topic, showcases properties for sale and most importantly depicts you as an expect in the area.
Do you want to do more business in a certain type of property or a certain area?
Here are 4 examples of real estate agents marketing themselves to a certain area and in one case to a certain property type:

Reid Dewson and Ed Gramauskas have been working a niche website for years. Their website showcases all lofts available for sale within the Vancouver area. Plus they have building information, upcoming projects, plus much more. It is by far the most reliable website for lofts in Vancouver.

I’ve seen a lot of website systems, and I must admit I think Ubertor is one of the best!
