When you're running a real estate business, one of the most valuable and functional assets you can employ is a well-designed<\/a>, highly functional website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

WordPress is a natural place to start for many small businesses because it's one of the easier platforms to figure out, and there are a TON of “plugins” that have been developed to help these websites perform specific tasks.<\/p>\n

As a land investor<\/a>\u00a0and blogger, I've worked with WordPress to build a lot of my websites (both past and present), and over time, I've gotten pretty familiar with some of the well-known (and lesser-known) plugins that have helped my websites\u00a0do what they need to do<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes these plugins are free to use, and sometimes there is a small cost associated with them – but either way, using the right plugins can make a MAJOR difference in getting a website to perform the tasks it needs to.<\/p>\n

In the video below – I'll walk you through 10 of the most helpful plugins I've discovered over the past several years. Some of them are very applicable to ANY website, and others will only be helpful to certain types of real estate businesses – but either way, my goal is to help you discover at least a few new plugins<\/em> that will help your website meet the demands of your business.<\/p>\n

1. Gravity Forms<\/h2>\n

Gravity Forms<\/a><\/strong>\"Gravity<\/a> is a well-known and respected plugin because it is effective at creating and customizing website submission forms (in a way that DOESN'T require a Ph.D. in computer science to do so).<\/p>\n

Iused Gravity Forms on my buying website<\/a> for a few years, and it works great. It is the primary submission form when visitors submit their property information to me when requesting an offer.<\/p>\n

The only downside to Gravity Forms is that it's not free<\/em> (though, considering what it can do, the cost isn't outrageous).<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> If you're vehemently opposed to spending money and looking for a FREE form builder that works well, check out Ninja Forms.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

2. Interactive US Map<\/h2>\n

If you're running a geographically diverse business like I am, there could be all kinds of potential uses for an\u00a0Interactive US Map<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>plugin (also note there are similar maps available for just about every major part of the world<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This kind of map is a GREAT way to explain things to your prospects and customers in a visual way. For example…<\/p>\n
