Real Estate Homes and Property This is a site I am working on for a client.. The forms do not work yet, all the text is dummy text. Just looking more for feedback on layout, color scheme, and design.

* At first glance one is immediately drawn to the picture on the left of the guy carrying the woman. I'm not real sure if this is the picture you would want to use. The people in the picture are clear and in focus, while the house in the background is out of focus making the people stand out. You are selling houses, not people.
* I would add the Realtor Association symbol somewhere in the title bar, if the agent is a member of the board of Realtors. I would also include the CRB logo, if the realtor is a certified real estate broker.
* I believe your main navigational links and the way they function is going to be a hit and miss item. They are not your normal drop down menu or fly outs, and they do take a bit to get used to because they are out of the norm.
* Under the listings pages you have email = mailto: I would recommend making a form like the one you have on your contact page and getting rid of the mailto or or the realtor may get flooded by spam and junk mail.
* On the my listings page, I understand that a single realtor would never have 2k + listings, but it would be nice if you could sort the listings by price (ascending / descending), number of bedrooms, amount of land, number of baths, putting the most relevant of those criteria listed first.
* On the title bar it is common place to include the picture of the realtor. Are you going to do this? It could drastically change the look of your title bar. I do not see on the main page the name of the office, address or contact information for the office for which the realtor works. A link to a map which shows the location of the realtors office.

The colors are okay. The layout is okay. I would like to see it when it is done.

Thanks.. the picture of the guy carrying the girl is just something I found.. but good observation. The realtor is a re/max member, which it has the re/max balloon on the right, and says so under "realtor name" I do not currently know the realtors name. The listings page is a 3rd party site, in an iframe. I have no control over that, however the fact that you did not notice it was an iframe is good. There is also no control over the sorting.. at least not that I know of. Same as the mailto: observation you made. All of the emails on the form once finished will be "encrypted" and the forms are already working. As far as the realtors picture, I do plan on putting that in (if I am provided one).. where that goes is still up in the air at this point. Thanks!

Finish the website.
Then, come back to us and ask for a critique.
This template is NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME.

I find this a little disturbing to be honest.

First being employed by Re/Max has nothing to do with being a member of the Board of Realtors. Yes Re/Max may require that their agents be, but not all real estate agents are, and can only call themselves Realtors if they have passed this course. Also the CRB logo is a somewhat prestigious as it shows time that one has been selling real estate and it also shows that one has taken and passed the brokerage exam and is classified as a broker and can operate their own office. You not knowing the agents name is telling me that you are designing this site without any input from your client. Just because a person does not comment on the i-frame does not mean that one does not see the site hanging when trying to connect to searchpoint.net . I was making an observation of what would make the site more user friendly.
In reading your reply, I whole heartedly agree with Dave. Finish your site then resubmit it for people to critique because no there are a lot of things I did not comment on as your site is not finished. Therefore I only looked at the 'artsy fartsy' stuff. But I do have one other recommendation. Get to know your client, get their input, get what is important to them. Try an promote their expertise, number of sales, amount of time working in field, certifications carried, etc. for all of this adds trust and when you are talking anywhere from a 3-7% commission rate, I want a realtor, not an agent and I want somebody who meets the criteria of what I am looking for.

Thanks for the feedback that was anything but helpful. Please do not ever respond to me again.

Don't worry I won't. Go ahead and try and make a page about a field you know nothing about for a client whose name you do not even know. Go ahead and submit a site for review, but do not get upset when you don't get the review you expected.
