We are proud to announce that Plantation Properties has earned the 2011 Website Quality Certification (WQC), presented by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® to member companies that have demonstrated excellence in website design, functionality and execution.
Every aspect of our site was reviewed to ensure exacting standards were met in six key areas, ranging from design and content to human interactivity to search engine optimization. The WQC was introduced in 2009 to recognize and encourage superior websites among Leading Real Estate Companies of the World’s 550 member firms.
“With so many people going online to obtain information on homes, communities and everything relating to home buying and selling, it is vital for a real estate firm to have a current, easy-to-use and relevant website,” notes Pam O’Connor, president/CEO of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®. “By earning the Website Quality Certification, Plantation Properties has demonstrated that it offers fundamental online resources to home buyers and sellers, which are further supported by the expertise only a dedicated real estate professional can provide.”
Plantation Properties has spent years building a compilation of resources to help buyers and sellers make educated, financially solid real estate choices. Not only do we take pride in our website being relevant and easy to use, but also in our efforts to add a personal community touch. Our agents are experts in their field and take pride in referring people to our website as a reference for the wide variety of vibrant communities we represent. Receiving this award is an honor that we have worked very hard to achieve.
