Common Questions.

Everything Real Estate agents ask before getting started.

How much does a Real Estate agent website cost?

WebsitesByVan charges a one-time setup fee of $1,500 and a monthly lease of $150/month. The setup fee covers the full design and build of your personal brand website. The monthly lease covers professional hosting, maintenance, and continued access to your site. The first monthly charge begins 30 days after your site launches.

What is a website lease model?

A website lease model means you own your domain name but lease access to the website itself. Van Beard Jr. builds, owns, and hosts the site. You pay a monthly lease fee to keep the site live. This keeps costs low while ensuring your site is professionally maintained. If the lease is cancelled your domain is disconnected within 72 hours.

How long does it take to build my website?

WebsitesByVan delivers completed Real Estate agent websites within 5 business days of receiving your completed intake form, headshot photo, and setup fee payment. You review the site before launch and request any changes before your domain is connected.

Who owns the website — me or WebsitesByVan?

You own your domain name. WebsitesByVan owns the website code, design, and hosting infrastructure. This is a lease arrangement — you lease access to the site for $150/month. You can cancel anytime with 30 days written notice.

How do leads get delivered to me?

All contact form submissions are delivered directly to your verified email address in real time. There is no brokerage middleman, no shared leads, and no platform fees. Every lead belongs exclusively to you.

What is included in my website?

Every WebsitesByVan site includes hand-coded HTML design, Google Rich Results validated schema markup, 90+ RankMath SEO score, mobile optimization, a contact form that delivers leads directly to you, social media preview image, favicon, sitemap, robots.txt, canonical tags, and a Privacy Policy page — all hosted on professional cloud infrastructure.

Do I need to bring my own domain name?

Yes — you purchase your own domain name from Namecheap.com. Your domain should include your name, for example: johndoerealtor.com or janesmithhomes.com. Van connects your domain to your professionally built and hosted website.

What areas does WebsitesByVan serve?

WebsitesByVan currently serves Real Estate agents in the Seattle metro area including Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Tukwila, Kent, Federal Way, Auburn, Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell, Burien, Des Moines, and Shoreline, Washington.
