1000watt Consulting and RealTrends issued a report on October 21, 2008, “The Top Ten Real Estate Brokerage Websites in America,” naming Nothnagle.com #8 on their list.
The report is based on a detailed examination of the corporate websites maintained by the 500 largest brokerage companies in the country as established by RealTrends’ annual RealTrends 500 list. Nothnagle Realtors ranked 35th on the 2008 list.
Over the course of a three month period, the 500 websites were reviewed based on several criteria including usability, content, features and design.
The report emphasized Nothnagle.com’s focus on the consumer stating, “overall, Nothnagle delivers a superior website experience.” Nothnagle.TV and guided tours were noted as “interesting and differentiating” features. The report further stated how impressed they were with how quickly and easily consumers can reach a Nothnagle agent via many different methods including text messaging, email, phone and Live Chat.
No other local brokerage site was included in the Top 10 report. In addition, the report criticizes “one-size-fits-all website templates” often found with some of the national franchises. The report states, “Two national brands well represented in the RealTrends 500 painted an almost universally dismal web picture due to circa-1998 affiliate website templates.”
