Steps to buying your new domain:
1. Think about what you want your domain name to be.
If you're not sure, johnsmith.com/ca as always a good bet, simple and easy to remember for your clients.
Another option would be johnsmithhomes.com or johnsmithrealty.com - some boards don't let you use 'real estate' in your advertising, so double check with your board if you're planning to use johnsmithrealestate.com.
2. Choose your domain provider website
3. Buy your domain
You'll be asked to create an account & add your credit card - remember your login!
