Rivers To Peaks sells land, residential and commercial properties throughout Gallatin County in Montana. They required a web platform that would have an attractive, easy to use layout, be search engine friendly and would allow them to update properties on a regular basis. We also helped them to develop several tools that would encourage visitors to request additional information, thereby generating sales leads.
The real estate market in the ski resort town of Big Sky, MT is very competitive. Understanding this, we developed several site features that encourage user loyalty and increase the site’s ease-of-use. One of our favorites is the ability for users to add chosen properties to a list of “favorites”. Each individual agent can see which of their properties have been added to a list and reach out to the potential client to begin establishing a relationship.
Since the launch of the website, we’ve performed several upgrades including a revised home page design.
