Wix GetRealtorWebsite
Wix or a managed agent website: doing it yourself, or having it done.
Wix is a do-it-yourself builder: you pick a template and edit it in a visual editor, and the platform handles hosting. It suits an agent who enjoys building and has time to keep it current. A managed agent website is the opposite trade: you do none of the building, and you get a page for every area you serve, listing pages, weekly articles and a guaranteed PageSpeed score.
What this comparison is really about
Where DIY agent sites usually stall
Most agents who build on a DIY platform get the home page, an about page and a contact form live in a weekend. The pages that bring in search traffic, one per town, one per listing, a weekly article, rarely get built, because they are the slow, repetitive part. The choice is less about the platform than about whether those pages will ever exist.
Wix and GetRealtorWebsite, factor by factor
Twelve things that decide how an agent website performs and who carries the work. Where we describe Wix, we keep to what is generally true or what the provider states itself.
| Factor | Wix | GetRealtorWebsite |
|---|---|---|
| Speed and Core Web Vitals | Managed by the platform; results vary with template, images and apps added. | 90+ Google PageSpeed on every page, guaranteed in the terms; we fix any page that drops below it because of our work. |
| SEO control | Built-in SEO settings you fill in page by page. | Done for you: titles, descriptions, headings, canonicals and one page per area you serve. |
| Schema and JSON-LD | Some structured data is handled by the platform; custom markup takes extra setup. | JSON-LD matched to each page (business, service, FAQ, breadcrumbs), added and maintained by us. |
| AEO and GEO readiness | Possible if you write answer-first content and FAQs yourself. | Answer-first copy, visible FAQ blocks, an llms.txt file and consistent entity data on every site. |
| Hosting and security | Included in the platform subscription. | Cloudflare edge hosting with SSL, CDN, DDoS protection and unmetered bandwidth, inside the monthly fee. |
| Maintenance burden | Low technical upkeep; content and page updates are on you. | None for you. Updates, security and hosting are on our side. |
| Who does the work | You. | We build it, then make every change you request: 5 revisions a month, done within 2 to 5 working days. |
| Content and blog | A built-in blog; writing and publishing is on you. | Researched, cited articles every week on every plan (2 a week, 3 on The Portfolio). |
| Design quality | Template-based, customizable in a visual editor. | A custom-coded, type-led design built around your name and your areas, checked on a phone before launch. |
| Accessibility and compliance pages | You add your own policies, disclosures and consent settings. | Privacy, terms and cookie pages, consent that gates scripts, an Equal Housing notice and an accessibility-minded build. |
| Cost model | A platform subscription, plus any paid apps, and your time. | One flat monthly fee from $137, plus a $797 build fee invoiced only after you approve the live site. |
| Lock-in and ownership | The site runs on the platform; moving means rebuilding elsewhere. Your domain can stay yours. | Your domain is registered in your name. On exit we transfer it free and export your content within 14 days. |
When Wix is the better fit
You like building things yourself and have evenings to spend on it.
You need a simple site live this weekend and will grow it later.
Your budget is the deciding factor and your time is not.
When a managed agent site wins
You want a page for every town you serve and every listing, built and linked for you.
You never want to open an editor between showings.
You want researched articles published every week without writing them.
Switching, or running both
Moving from Wix
Switching is a rebuild, not an export, and we do the rebuild.
Send us your current site address; we rebuild the pages worth keeping and bring your listings across as pages.
Your domain is pointed at the new site and changed addresses are redirected.
Your Wix subscription can end once you approve the live site.
From an agent who switched
“A phase release used to mean a new flyer and a stale web page. Now I send the update through the portal and it is live within a few days.”

Questions about Wix and GetRealtorWebsite
Is Wix good enough for a real estate agent?
For a simple site built by a hands-on agent, it can be. What most DIY agent sites lack is the depth search rewards: a page per area, a page per listing and regular articles. That depth is the part we build and maintain for you.
Can you move my Wix site to your platform?
Yes. Sites cannot usually be exported from a builder as-is, so we rebuild your pages, move your listings across as pages, point your domain at the new site and redirect old addresses that change.
Is Wix cheaper than your plans?
A DIY subscription usually costs less per month than a managed service. Our plans start at $137 a month because they include the building, the area and listing pages, hosting, revisions and weekly articles. If your time is free, DIY is cheaper.
Will my site be faster than a Wix site?
Every page we build is held at 90+ on Google PageSpeed, guaranteed in our terms. Speed on any builder depends on the template and what is added to it, so we do not state a figure for Wix.
Do I lose control if I switch from a DIY builder?
You lose direct editing and gain having it done. Every change goes through your client portal and is completed within the standard turnaround. Your domain stays in your name either way.
Can I keep using Wix for something else?
Yes. Some agents keep a separate page there for a side project. Your main agent website, its areas and listings live with us.
What happens to my Wix blog posts?
We move over the posts worth keeping, then publish new researched articles every week on every plan.
Do you include the AI chat and receptionist?
On The Territory and The Portfolio, yes: an AI chat on your site, an AI receptionist for missed calls and AI replies on SMS and social DMs.
