Website redesign on the way!

Last year, we asked you for your input for the new GHAR website (set to launch later this year). Over a hundred of you responded to our survey. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, which have been invaluable as we sort out our new website navigation and content in order to support and promote your professional growth!

In the online survey, we asked you to rank a list of categories by importance. Below are the top four that were the most important to you:

1. Education (class description, instructor bios, webinars, podcasts)
2. Legal (forms, cases, updates)
3. Toolbox (Realtor tools for business, client handouts, industry information)
4. Communications (Press releases, statistics, latest assoc. news, articles, blog, videos)

When asked why you ranked the categories the way you did we found that these were the most relevant to you because they related to your everyday business.

In our survey we asked you how often you visited and the reasons for your visit to GHAR, CAR, and NAR’s websites. Classes, housing statistics, membership information, and legal forms were the most popular topics while visiting GHAR’s website.

Respondents visit CAR’s website for education and event information. Legal information was the most popular reason for visiting the state association’s site.
 

We found that half of you don’t go to NAR’s website. Those who do, visit to keep up with the latest real estate news, peruse the latest housing statistics, and look up designation information.

Several of you asked if we would make the new website compatible with the iPad and half you responded that you would access the new website using a smartphone or tablet.

We’ll keep all of these survey results in mind when we re-design the new website. Please don’t hesitate to pass along any suggestions and/or information that might make the GHAR website better suited to help your business. Stay tuned for a new look soon!
