In real estate, an agent's name is their primary brand that delivers the service. Agents should consider having a variety of websites, and their name should be one of them. As you suggest, they should also own websites that focus on their area or areas of expertise. We just completed a white paper on the topic - it can be viewed or downloaded at http://waves.wavgroup.com/wav-group-releases-localism-whitepaper Ignoring your agent name as your online brand name could severely impair a consumers ability to find the agent by name on the web. Please understand that I am not trying to be argumentative, but am expressing great caution.
