Remember the “4 Crucial Steps” to making money with your real estate site?
The top real estate site are Custom because steps 2, 3 and 4 depend on having a Custom site. You must do each step. And it all starts with a Custom site.
With the 4 Crucial Steps in mind, it's easy to see why a Custom Site is the only option.
The other types of sites: flash, template and free, always fall short in either steps 3 or 4 or both. For example, if you've got a nice flash site, that's great, but oops, step #4 is out. A flash real estate site cannot be "found" by the search engines, therefore your potential clients will not find you. How a flash site can destroy your real estate web site rankings.
Or what if you've got a template site? Maybe you can add content to your template site, but you are limited to where and how the content goes in. And exactly where and how the content goes in is important for search engine placement. Most template sites limit how you can promote the site. Most don't give you or your designer access to the html files which is critical to being found on the net. Why template real estate web sites are a poor design choice.
Remember: If your potential buyers and sellers can't find your real estate site you might as well not have one.
