We publish so much content throughout the course of a month, it's easy for articles to get lost in the shuffle. We're implementing a new policy here at RE Technology – at the end of each month, we'll look back and revisit the top 10 most popular articles (based on number of pageviews). Here are the top 10 for the month of June – with a short teaser from each.

If you have an existing real estate website, there are hundreds of tools you can use to add a little spice and consumer-friendly functionality. Because these tools vary in actual implementation, there's no easy term to lump them under. If you have a WordPress website, you're probably familiar with the term "plug-in," and some of our examples are plug-ins – which you may be able to add all by yourself. However, this isn't always the case and, depending on the tool, you may hear them referred to as "widgets" or "APIs." The bottom line is that, even though most of these tools will probably require the assistance of a competent developer for implementation, this technology can be relatively quick and easy to get up-and-running, offering a nice cost/benefit balance.

Many think they could do it if they had more clients. But if you're a single real estate sales person, there's a limit to how many clients you can properly serve simultaneously.
