What they are built on

5 platforms,
no clear winner.

Behind the 57 sites we counted 5 platforms. The split says something about budget: 21% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 1 on free builders were almost always put together by the owner.

What actually breaks

No structured data for google to read
on 34 of them.

34 of the 57 real estate offices we opened in Oshawa share the same fault: no structured data for google to read. 24 have a second one on top of it — page title does not name the city they work in. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.

If you own one of these 57 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 34 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.

What this means for you

The Oshawa leaders
already fixed this.

5 of the five most-reviewed real estate agents in Oshawa run a secure site that works on a phone. Between them they hold 1,525 reviews. That is the standard a customer compares you against before reading a word about you.

Where a real estate agent lands depends on how many services need a page of their own — $590 at the small end, $3,900 for a practice with a dozen. Nothing is due until it is finished. Full pricing.

Questions

Before you ask.

How many real estate agents are there in Oshawa?

58 listings, of which 2 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 56 are either missing a site, running a broken one, or running one with at least one fault we could see from outside.

How many Google reviews do I need to compete in Oshawa?

To be average in Oshawa you need 39. To be in the top quarter you need more than 69. To be visible next to the busiest real estate agent here you would need 723, which took them years. 46 of the 58 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a real estate agent in Oshawa cost?

Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the practice and how many services need their own page, paid after the site is built and you have seen it. Hosting, edits, your Google Business Profile and ongoing SEO run $129 to $990 a month, cancellable any month.
