Create a Domain Name

The creator of this guide (Pablo Galvez) highly recommends you purchase a domain name for your website. It can be as simple as johndoe.com.

  • According to CREA rules, you CAN’T have “realtor” in your domain name (because it’s trademarked) when you’re also using a location or a description. So, you can’t use the domain “bestrealtor.com” or “canadasrealtor.com.” However, you CAN use “realty” or “real estate” or “homes” or “properties,” etc.
  • Do not use “exp” in your domain either as that is also not permitted.
  • I’ve branded our team as www.simonerousseau.com which is what we were using prior to joining eXp Realty.
  • Buying a domain is easy to do through GoDaddy.com. It’s going to cost you no more than $12 for a year. You set that domain name to forward to your eXp website.
  • If you want to take it further, you can set up a WordPress or Wix website/blog and use that as your website hub, with links to your eXp lead generating website. Lots of options.
  • You can purchase a .realtor domain through CREA for around $50 for a year.
