SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Zephyr Real Estate has again been awarded the Website Quality Certification (WQC) from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, a global network of 500+ real estate firms that presents the certification to member companies that demonstrate best practices in website design and Internet communications.
Zephyr’s website, www.zephyrsf.com, earned the certification after achieving high marks on a range of criteria, including usability and performance, design and content, interactivity, customer service and internet lead management, search engine optimization and mobile application.
