My PA House Search — Keller Williams
Crafting a hyperlocal IDX engine for Pennsylvania’s most connected realtors.
My PA House Search needed more than MLS listings. We built a conversion-focused property discovery experience that pairs market data, neighborhood stories, and concierge-level lead routing for a multi-office Keller Williams team.
Time to launch
82 days
Documented 2023 project timeline covering the full brand refresh, IDX integration, and automation buildout. Delivery windows vary by scope and stakeholder response times.
Lead velocity
4.8×
Increase in seller consultations booked within 60 days (July–September 2023 CRM exports). Conversion lift depends on list quality, follow-up cadence, and market conditions.
Service territory
Central & Eastern Pennsylvania
- Dynamic neighborhood profiles for Mechanicsburg, Lancaster, Blue Bell, and Center City with live market stats.
- Mobile-first saved search journeys with AI price alerts and open house RSVP automations.
- Team routing rules syncing to Follow Up Boss, Slack, and KW Command with round-robin fairness.
Generic IDX templates weren’t converting sellers or relocation buyers.
The team relied on a vendor site that looked like every other realtor experience. There was no differentiation for farm markets, no place for storytelling, and no SEO authority for “sell my home in [town]” search intent. We stepped in to build a conversion system.
Project mandate
Deliver a Keller Williams-aligned brand platform with immersive neighborhood content, data-driven pricing insights, and automations that honor agent accountability.
Objectives
- Dominate seller keyword clusters across 14 zip codes with on-page depth and structured data.
- Create lead routing logic that honors team caps, languages spoken, and relocation certifications.
- Launch a “Tour Tuesdays” library with guided walkthroughs and agent commentary.
Stack
- Headless IDX Broker integration with Remix front-end for lightning-fast search.
- OpenAI embeddings categorize lifestyle amenities to personalize relocation guides.
- Follow Up Boss automations for lead scoring, voicemail drops, and quarterly check-ins.
