      Sidebar

      This is located on the right-side of your website, and is used to share unique resources that are relevant to your page's content. 

      Unique sidebars can be added to specific pages, helping you promote more exlusive information that is not found anywhere else on your website! 

      Here are some common examples of what many agents share on their websites:

      • Share relevant information about a specific market - "Properties for sale in San Diego under $400k"
      • Advertise local businesses - "Check out Roger's Burger Stand" 
      • Highlight local attractions/things to do in the area - "Learn more about the local swimming hole!"
      • Promote your personal resources, such as a Sellers/Buying Guide for clients to reference in their real estate journey - "Download our free Buying Guide"
