Websites & marketing built for real estate professionals who want more leads

Agents, teams, and brokerages serving Seattle and Puget Sound who are ready to grow beyond referrals and portals.

Seattle real estate website design and marketing

If you’re relying on referrals, portals, or outdated templates to bring in business, you’re leaving opportunities on the table. Today’s buyers and sellers expect clarity, credibility, and an easy next step. If your website doesn’t deliver that within seconds, they move on.

At Howle Creative, we help real estate agents, teams, and brokerages build websites and marketing systems that attract qualified leads, showcase expertise, and support long term growth.

Real estate is competitive. Seattle is even more so.

From Capitol Hill condos to Queen Anne single family homes and downtown luxury listings, your online presence has to do more than exist. It needs to position you as the obvious choice.

We understand the pace of the market, the trust required to win clients, and how people actually search when they’re ready to move.

We work with:

Independent real estate agents building their personal brand

Growing teams who need shared visibility and lead flow

Whether you’re focused on residential, commercial, or mixed portfolios, we build systems that scale with you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My colleagues and I worked closely with M. Lopez to create the new Squarespace website for the Evergreen Impact Housing Fund. M. was very helpful in getting us organized, providing a thoughtful process, and being a partner in building the website we were looking for. She was accessible throughout the process and had great feedback on how to make the website as appealing as possible for our target audience. The Evergreen Impact Housing Fund is a complicated mechanism that helps increase the supply of affordable housing in Washington State--it's tricky to understand. M. took the time to learn about the Fund and what we wanted to accomplish so that she could make smart recommendations. The new website is beautiful and brings the Fund's work to life. I highly recommend working with M. and the Howle team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Howle Creative!  As a small business it's difficult to find a professional and affordable website designer that takes their time to work with you and figure what you need out of a website and how you want to market your business. Mayte took the time to understand what I wanted and then built me a great website.  She's always quick to respond to my questions and helps me understand the process of updating the site and maximizing my SEO so that I can get the most value from it.  I'm very happy with the job she's done and hope to continue to work with her in the future!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a volunteer at a nonprofit food bank performing minor website updates, I was approached about supporting a significant redesign of the website coinciding with a rebrand. Recognizing that this was a job for a professional, we interviewed a number of reputable website designers. The decision to select Howle Creative was easy. In addition to showing a breadth of knowledge during the screening process, M recognized that our plans to migrate to a new website builder platform didn't make sense for our purposes, even though it would have been much more lucrative for Howle.

Her honesty and professionalism was demonstrated throughout a very successful project, and she continues to delight us with her follow-through, responsiveness, and solid advice whenever needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. M helped us get our website up and running, and her expertise has led to most of our business. Reasonably priced services, helpful, and prompt responses to our inquiries. I can’t imagine how long it would have taken us to bumble around trying to set things up ourselves. Well worth the small investment! Thanks M!

Case Study: The Seattle Condo Group

The Seattle Condo Group came to us with a website that wasn’t generating meaningful traffic or leads, despite deep expertise in the downtown condo market. The site wasn’t ranking for individual buildings, visibility was low, and it wasn’t bringing buyers or sellers through the door.

After implementing a strategic Squarespace IDX MLS setup and focused SEO optimization, the site now receives 3,000+ visits per month, generates consistent inbound leads, and ranks on the first page for most downtown Seattle condo buildings. Today, the website actively supports Olga Dyckman’s business and positions The Seattle Condo Group as a trusted authority in the market.

Feeling held back by a website that doesn’t reflect how good you actually are at what you do?

At Howle Creative, we help real estate agents, teams, and brokerages turn underperforming websites and marketing into clear, effective tools that attract clients and support growth. We’ll talk through what’s working, what’s not, and what will actually move the needle for your business.

When IDX makes sense (and when it doesn’t)

If you require full MLS IDX integration, we’ll guide you to the right platform. If your goals are better served without IDX, we’ll tell you that too.

What makes a real estate website convert in Seattle?

A real estate website converts when it shows up for neighborhood and building specific searches, loads fast on mobile, and makes it easy for buyers and sellers to take the next step. High converting sites combine MLS IDX listings, clear local expertise, and strategic SEO so visitors immediately understand who you help and why you’re the right agent. Strong lead capture, simple navigation, and trust signals like reviews and market knowledge turn casual browsers into real inquiries.

Real results for real businesses

We don’t just build websites. We build systems that support growth.

Clients work with us because they want fewer headaches, clearer messaging, and marketing that actually works.

Focus on closing deals. we’ll handle the rest.

Marketing Your Business During Covid-19

Howle Creative continues to effectively marketing and advertise your business during Covid-19!

Do I actually need a new real estate website, or can my current one be improved?

If your site looks dated, isn’t generating inquiries, or doesn’t clearly explain why someone should work with you, a redesign is often the fastest path to results. In some cases, we can improve an existing site through strategic optimization. During your consultation, we’ll tell you honestly whether a full redesign or a targeted improvement makes the most sense for your goals.

Do real estate agents really need IDX to get leads?

Not always. IDX can be helpful for brokerages and some teams, but it’s not a guarantee of leads. Many successful agents generate more inquiries by focusing on clear messaging, neighborhood expertise, strong calls to action, and SEO rather than relying solely on listings. We help you decide if IDX supports your strategy or if it would just add noise.

Will my website help me compete with Zillow, Redfin, and other portals?

You don’t need to outspend the portals. You need to out position them. Your website should focus on trust, local expertise, and direct relationships. We design sites that highlight your value as a local professional so buyers and sellers choose you, not just another listing platform.

How does SEO actually work for real estate in Seattle?

Real estate SEO is about showing up when buyers and sellers are actively searching. We target high-intent searches, neighborhood based keywords, and local signals so your site appears where it matters most. This includes optimizing for areas like Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Belltown, Downtown, and other Seattle neighborhoods your clients care about.

How long does it take to start seeing leads from SEO?

Most clients begin seeing improvements within three to six months, with results compounding over time. SEO isn’t instant, but it’s durable. Combined with a strong website and clear calls to action, it becomes one of the most reliable long term lead sources for real estate professionals.

Can you help teams and brokerages with multiple agents?

Yes. We regularly build websites for teams and brokerages that need multiple agent profiles, shared branding, lead routing, and scalable SEO. We structure sites so they support both individual agent visibility and the overall brand.

What about AI search and tools like ChatGPT or Google’s AI results?

Search is evolving quickly. We optimize real estate websites so they can be understood, summarized, and cited by AI powered search tools. This includes structured content, clear answers, FAQs, and schema that help future proof your visibility.

Should I invest in SEO or Google Ads for my real estate business?

It depends on your timeline. Google Ads are great for immediate visibility, while SEO builds long-term momentum. Many real estate professionals see the best results using both: ads to capture demand now, and SEO to reduce reliance on paid traffic over time. We’ll recommend the right mix for your market and goals.
