There are several widgets and tools that are offered by Point2. Some of these are going to be more or less effective based on your local market. For example, if Point2Homes has a strong presence in your local market, it is good to use their featured listings and featured agent feature, which will help promote you and your chosen listings on the Point2Homes site. This will drive more referral traffic to your site and increase your overall leads each month. If Point2Homes does not have a strong presence in your local market we do not recommend this feature. There are also some default pages like the Home Evaluator and the Mortgage Calculator that don't exactly live up to their name, but do help bring in more leads and contact information.

Most of the other best practices are not specific to Point2 sites. SEO is important on any real estate website, as are trust elements like agent photos and testimonials. It is also important to provide a variety of pages that allow users to search by area, by price or by type (homes, condos, beachfront, etc..).
