Chas Everitt International has just been awarded a Website Quality Certification (WQC) by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World© (LeadingRE), the global network of 550 high quality independent real estate firms represented in 70 countries.
The certification was presented in recognition of excellence in website design, content and functionality. The website, www.chaseveritt.co.za, received high marks in a variety of critical performance areas such as usability, design, content, interactivity, customer service and mobile responsiveness.
The evaluation was conducted by Virtual Results LLC, a real estate internet and social marketing firm selected by LeadingRE to review the websites of participating members.
The specific measurements for the WQC are updated each year to reflect the most current online marketing strategies as well as evolving consumer preferences, and companies must be re-certified every two years to maintain the certification.
"We are delighted to recognize the 102 companies that earned the WQC this year. These firms provide consumers with essential resources relating to home buying and selling through thoughtfully-designed websites with up-to-the-minute housing information.
"As local leaders, they also provide a unique level of local market insights and first-hand community information," says LeadingRE President/ CEO Paul Boomsma.
