Featured Broker Mobile Site
“We chose a responsive website design since there is now a large customer base that uses their mobile devices to navigate the Internet. I strongly believe that it is illogical to not have a responsive website in 2014. The main benefit to brokers of implementing a mobile website is to offer a supplementary service to their customers. Given that many people consult websites on their mobile devices now, brokers would be alienating a significant customer base if they lack a mobile website.”

How do I implement a mobile website?
To implement a mobile website for your brokerage, we encourage you to contact a web developer who has experience with mobile websites. You can easily find one by performing a Google search such as “make my website mobile” or, if you’d prefer to work with one in your area, “mobile website developer [insert name of town/city]”. Your provincial broker association may also be able to assist you with a referral and/or additional resources in the development of your mobile website.
