Your website should make listings, agents and enquiries feel premium.

Buyers and sellers judge agencies by their website long before they meet an agent. If listings look like a database, agent profiles feel thin, and the enquiry form is generic, the listing wins go to whoever feels most premium online. We will audit yours in 48 hours.

Quick answer: Onyxarro's free real estate website audit covers real estate agencies, individual agents, property managers, boutique brokerages, multi-agent franchises, and rural or lifestyle-block specialists. It includes three deliverables: a written audit ranking every issue costing you appraisal requests, vendor enquiries, buyer enquiries, and rental enquiries (mobile speed, tap-to-call placement, listing pages, agent profiles, suburb and location clarity, contact forms, lead capture, property photography quality, real trust signals like recent sales and testimonials, market and suburb-report content), a redesigned homepage preview deployed at a public URL, and a recommended Onyxarro package fit. We focus on the agency site, not portal IDX feeds. All three arrive by email within 48 hours, free, no card, no calls. The review applies the same patterns we cover in our guides on real estate website design examples, service business website examples, homepage examples, trust signals, call-to-action examples, contact pages, and pricing pages. This is strictly a website design review. We do not give real estate, legal, financial, investment, lending, valuation, property, licensing, or compliance advice, and we do not make claims about property sales, lead volume, listing wins, commissions, sale prices, or guaranteed enquiries. Submit your agency URL on /audit; full service catalogue and pricing at /services; founder context at /about; concept demos at /concepts are concept projects, not paid client work; broader agency overview on the homepage.

The pain

Why agency sites lose vendors and buyers.

Real estate is editorial. The agencies winning premium listings invest in photography, agent storytelling, and a quietly confident brand. Most agency websites still look like portals, and lose the trust war before the appraisal call.

What we audit

What we audit on a real-estate website.

Six checkpoints across listings, agents, enquiry, and brand.

Listing card & detail design

Is presentation editorial, premium, scan-friendly? Photo quality, layout hierarchy, and key-fact clarity.

Agent profiles & credibility

Bios, recent sales, testimonials, contact options: how confidently do agents present themselves?

Enquiry flow & lead capture

Form length, response promise, agent-routing, and what happens after submit.

Photography & imagery quality

Hero treatment, listing photos, neighbourhood imagery: the visual brand of the agency.

Mobile listing browse

Filter UX, scroll performance, map view, save-listing flow on mobile.

Market reports & content authority

Suburb reports, sold data, market commentary: content that pulls in vendors.

What your website should do

Your site should make the agency feel like the obvious choice.

A premium real-estate site makes listings feel hand-picked, agents feel credible, and enquiry feel safe. Vendors choose agencies that look like the homes they want to sell. That is what we build toward.

Honest proof

Estimates, not guarantees.

Onyxarro does not promise specific appraisal volume, listing wins, vendor enquiries, sale prices, commissions, or property outcomes. What we promise is honest, written work and a redesigned preview you can open and inspect.

Honest scope

This is a website design review. Listings and commissions depend on market, vendor relationships, pricing strategy, and a dozen factors we do not control. We will name the trust friction; the result is the agency's to ship.

Real testimonials only

If we showcase quotes or recent-sales blocks on a redesigned preview, they are placeholders until your agency supplies real client testimonials and verifiable sold data. No invented reviews, no fake agency logos, no fictional sale prices. Real client case studies will appear at /work as paid projects ship and clients approve publication.

What we do not do

No fake testimonials, no aggregated star ratings, no stock client logos. No real estate, legal, financial, valuation, lending, or compliance advice. No guaranteed listings, lead volume, sale prices, or commission outcomes. Strictly a website design review.

Real estate FAQs

The questions agencies and individual agents ask before the audit.

What does a real estate website audit cover?

A real estate website audit reviews the website experience, not property advice. It covers listing clarity, agent and team presentation, seller and buyer enquiry pathways, local trust signals (recent sales, suburb expertise, testimonials, agency credentials), mobile load speed and tap targets, FAQ coverage, CTA placement, and whether the page makes it easy for buyers or sellers to enquire. Patterns are pulled from our real estate website design examples and service business website examples. It is strictly a website design review. We do not give real estate, legal, financial, investment, lending, valuation, property, licensing, or compliance advice, and we do not make claims about property sales, lead volume, listing wins, commissions, sale prices, or guaranteed enquiries.

We use realestate.co.nz / Trade Me Property, do we still need our own site?

Listing portals win the search; your site wins the trust. Vendors typically interview multiple agents before signing, and almost every one of them Googles you mid-decision. A weak agent site loses listings, even if your portal numbers look strong. The audit shows where you are losing trust online.

Do you handle IDX feeds and live listing integrations?

For the audit, yes. For the rebuild, we focus on agent / agency credibility (testimonials, recent sales, suburb expertise, vendor pitch) and link out to your portal listings rather than rebuilding a competing IDX feed. The site is for winning the listing; the portal is for working the buyer.

Can the rebuild include individual agent profile pages?

Yes. Each agent gets a profile page with their bio, recent sales, testimonials, and direct contact form. We can scope as few or as many as you need; agency-level branding stays consistent across all of them.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Yes. Free audit, free redesigned homepage preview, free conversion report, yours to keep. Some businesses who see the redesign decide to hire Onyxarro for the full build. That is the model: prove value first, then let the right clients move forward.

What if we want the full agency rebuild?

Reply to the audit email. We will send a fixed quote (Launch $5,000 for solo agents, Growth $8,000 for boutique, Studio $13,000+ for multi-agent agencies) and timeline. 50% deposit starts the build. Larger Studio builds are scoped clearly before we start. No retainers, no surprise invoices, no monthly hosting creep.
