New Agent - When should I make my own website

[Adeel Makda]

Hello all, I am in the process of picking my managing broker. I was wondering when do you recommend a new agent to make their own website? Also, what are the must haves an agent needs in their own website? I have seen so many different styles I want to have an idea of what gets the most exposure. Also, if anyone can recommend a web designer that would be great as well. Thanks! Adeel

@Adeel Makda I would get your OWN website, regardless of what your new broker provides.  You need to think about building your own brand, not your broker's. 

Brokers come and go.  No matter who you choose to work with, you might eventually want to go out on your own or to work elsewhere.  By building your own website, Facebook page, Twitter presence, etc, you'll be in a much better position to do so.
