What You Get
Every site is a full Astro SSR build deployed to a VPS with Nginx. No shared hosting, no WordPress, no page builders. Property data comes in via the Trestle API and gets rendered server-side so every listing page is real HTML that Google can read and index.
Property Search via Trestle API
Live MLS listings pulled server-side. Every property page renders as real HTML , no iFrames, no JavaScript-gated content. Listings get indexed.
Neighborhood and Community Pages
Programmatic SEO targeting "homes for sale in [neighborhood]" queries. Each page includes local stats, schools, nearby amenities, and active listings.
Blog with Content Strategy
Markdown-based blog with category pages, author pages, and structured data. Content plan targeting buyer and seller intent keywords in your market.
Lead Capture and CRM Integration
Contact and inquiry forms connected to your CRM. Follow My Home, HubSpot, and custom webhook endpoints all supported.
Google Business Profile Optimization
Full GBP audit, category selection, photo optimization, and review response templates. Local pack rankings depend on this as much as the site itself.
Schema Markup Throughout
RealEstateAgent, RealEstateListing, and LocalBusiness schemas on every relevant page. Rich results in Google Search for listings, reviews, and local info.
Why Astro SSR
Astro ships zero JavaScript to the browser by default. Components that need interactivity , search filters, map widgets, saved searches , get hydrated selectively. Everything else is pure HTML and CSS arriving in a single fast response from the server.
For real estate specifically, this matters because IDX solutions typically rely on client-side rendering. The browser downloads a JavaScript bundle, the bundle fetches listing data, and the listings appear after a 3-4 second delay. Google can crawl JavaScript, but it deprioritizes slow pages and often misses dynamically rendered content in competitive markets. With Astro SSR, there is nothing to wait for , the HTML is complete when the response arrives.

kvCORE, Sierra Interactive, and IDX Broker are fine products for agents who want a quick setup. They are not built for agents who want to rank organically and own their audience long-term.
