Well we're finally ready to launch the website and here we go:

www.RoundTableRealty.com

Pretty Excited about it, daunting and exhausting.

Looks great to me ...

I am in the process of buying a house and was using Trulia for house searching. Just wanted to give a couple of suggestions about the site if you don't mind....

1. Love the layout, was able to dive right into searching for a house quickly.

2. Allow the visitor to search for houses with 2 or more pictures. One of my complaints with Trulia is that it would not allow me to filter results by the number of images. I would prefer to filter out homes that do not have interior images.

3. Include estimated tax information when viewing details of a property. Not sure how big a deal it is in the Jacksonville area, but in Meto Detroit, taxes can fluctuate rapidly depending on which county/city you are looking.

4. I love the summary portion of the property details page. I attached a screen shot of what I am referring to.

Very impressive, Flasch.

Thanks Man, Ill look into the tax stuff right away. Ill also have to look into the pictures thing, not sure how that, or if that field, exists on the backend.

Keep any advice coming, its all welcome. Now to make some money after working on this for free :)

There are a lot of cheap cheap houses!

I'm looking to buy in the Tampa area now....I'm using Zillow mostly. I've seen a couple of sites similiar to yours and I think you are in great shape web-site wise. Very professionally done. Great job!

First house I saw on the site was 6.9 million :eek:

Nice job, Flasch

what the hell is the creepy sound at the end of the video? lmao

looks nice...guess I never paid attention that you were in Jacksonville before.

For some reason the wife and I love that town, we make a weekend getaway there at least 1x per year...people think we are crazy but it wokrs for us.

Spent a few new years eve's at the landing nice place to chill

Congrats on the site launch, that's usually a big day around most companies in my experience.

Gave you a "like" on your FB from my personal page. Will do a brief hype to my friends list if you're interested in encouraging a little "lookie loo" traffic just to help build "likes". Probably wouldn't amount to more than 1 or 2 people but my philosophy is "every little bit helps", especially with the viral nature of social media.

Also found one very minor proofreading fix for the webpage itself
On the Featured Blog page at Real Estate Blog - Featured Blog (http://www.roundtablerealty.com/blog/featured-blog/)
the very first line under the header appears to be placeholder text that wasn't removed (This could be a blog to STAY on the front page longer than typical.)

Minor note as we just went through looking for rental houses.

Everything is in $500 increments. However, between $5K and $10K per month, you have 21 total properties. Between $500-$1000, there are 807. Between $1000-$1500, you have 581. $1500-$2000 is 179. $2000-$5000 is 168. 0-$500 is only 44.

I love the scale on year built. I'd try something similar on the rental costs.

So maybe start the range 0-500. But then do $100 increments up until at least $2000. I know we were carving things down to that level of granularity when we were looking.

Also, I thought MLS had room info (i.e sizes and types of rooms)

I love the layout, tho- fantom is very much right. Very nice design!

SI

Sharp site. Love the buttons for Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Looks great Flasch!

thanks everyone, really appreciate it. Ill have to look into those rental increments. I dont think we can change that on our end so it'd have to wait for design time through the webhost. But ill check.

thanks again.

thanks Jon for pointing that out...Ill take all the 'traffic' i can get at this point. appreciated!

CU, hit me up when your in town for a get together.

Very impressive.

Nice work!

Did Yiannis make that?

its Yiannis free

Okay. It's pretty nice then. ;)

Looks really nice! Though I about cried when I saw what you could buy with what I paid for my 2 MBR/2.5 bath townhouse..

Looks great Flasch!!

Great looking website.

And in my very, very limited experience surfing around and trying to get info from real estate companies - most of their sites' suck ass. This is actually the best I've seen.

thanks!

tomorrow we have to fight a fight we'd already won once before to make sure we got the good pictures from the local boards. It seems we got them and now theyre uploading the crappy ones again.

At the very tippy top of the website, in the very top right corner...


classic :)

That's by far the best realty website I've seen. And I've looked at a lot over the last 18 months, I sold, and bought a house in that time period. Congrats.

nice lookin website!!

Hey can I use your quote on the site?

Sure, no problem.

Clean, organized.. nice layout I really like it! I also "liked" your Facebook page.

dola,

I also like how you included a video of yourself instead of a picture.. nice touch.

thanks!

Feel free, anyone, to link to the site....we're obviously trying to get it to climb the area in regards to search engines and links to our site helps (well, its kind of a mystery to me) do this....I think.

I love the neighborhood summaries, although I think you could include a few more pictures to give a better flavor of the area.

Really nice site. I like the property list better than the way Realtor.com does it.

Well done. Impressive site.

I was in St Augustine recently. My wife and I loved it. I cannot believe houses are so cheap in the area.

We also went to Sanibel Island and talked about that place. But looking at house prices, St Augustine fits our budget a little better. :)

Sharp looking site you have there, Flasch.

agreed! It';ll take time though.

hey guys and gals,

we added the Facebook like box in the bottom left side of the site so feel free to go on there and "like" RTR if you do like the site, us, whatever, we need the fan love if nothing else than to counter the bank account drain im on :)

thanks for all of ya'lls support. It is truly appreciated and for as long as Ive been on FOFC I keep saying you guys are truly a part of the family.

turned in our first offer last night under the new umbrella, small victory but exciting nonetheless.

Due to my being high strung I continue to watch the calendar and compare it to our savings....

im excited and scared all at the same time.

Looks really nice Flash, clean and modern.
