Summary + +Robert Hoffman Realty is a solid, professional site with strong real estate conventions. The key structural elements HomeProz should adopt: + +1. **Community/location pages** (SEO + local expertise) +2. **Map view for listings** (expected feature in real estate) +3. **Clearer property type categorization** (residential vs commercial) +4. **Prominent location-based search** (user expectation) +5. **Professional association logos** (credibility) +6. **Office hours** (professionalism) + +HomeProz advantages to keep: +- Distinctive dark theme (differentiation) +- Testimonials section (social proof) +- Team on homepage (personal connection) +- More modern aesthetic + +The client's request to be "structurally similar" while maintaining their own theme is achievable.
