When an agent searches for a free website, they've usually already been burned once. Free turns out to mean a 14-day trial. Or a site you can build but can't publish. Or a "free plan" that quietly disables the contact form — the one thing you actually needed.
So let's start with our own catch, plainly, before anything else.
The catch at AgentSiteHQ is three things: our web address, our badge, and the fact that you don't own the files. That's it. There's no trial clock, no card required, no crippled feature, and no upsell wall between you and a published site.
A free AgentSiteHQ site is a real, complete website — not a preview or a placeholder:
Three things, and we'd rather you read them here than discover them after you've built the thing:
There's a fourth thing worth naming that applies to every free site anywhere, ours included: search-engine authority accrues to the domain, not to you. A page on someone else's domain is building their domain, not yours. For most agents this matters far less than they fear — leads come from your sphere, your social bio, and your listing links, not from ranking against the big portals — but it is true and you should know it.
Ownership. Nothing else. It's one payment, once, with no subscription behind it:
The design, the pages, and the features are identical on both. We're not holding a better website hostage. You're buying the deed, not the house.
We are not the only free route, and for some agents we're not the best one. Here's the honest landscape as of 2026. Plans and prices change often, so check the source before you commit.
Often free, often already sitting in your back office unused, and frequently connected straight to an MLS feed — which is a real advantage no independent free builder can match easily. Set it up. Genuinely.
The trade is control. It usually carries brokerage branding, the template is fixed, and the address is typically the brokerage's domain with your name attached. If you change brokerages, it generally goes away — along with any traffic or links pointing at it. Terms vary a lot by brokerage, so read yours. Treat it as a useful asset you're using courtesy of your firm, not a foundation.
These are good products, built by serious companies, and an agent who enjoys tinkering can get a lovely result out of any of them.
Wix has kept a genuinely free, non-expiring plan as of 2026. The trade-offs on free are a wixsite.com-branded address, Wix's own ads shown on your pages, and a modest storage allowance (around 500MB). The ads are the part agents tend to react to — they sit at the top of the page, so they're more visible than a footer badge.
Google Sites is free, dead simple, and reliable. By default your address is a sites.google.com URL. You can point a domain you already own at a free personal site, though Google's own help pages route buying a domain through a paid Google Workspace plan — so budget for a registrar either way. Design flexibility is limited, which is a feature if you want it done in an hour and a frustration if you care about how it looks.
Carrd is excellent for a clean one-pager. As of 2026 the free tier covers up to three sites on a carrd.co address with a small "Made with Carrd" badge, and contact forms sit on the paid tiers — worth knowing, since a form is usually the whole point for an agent. Its paid plans are unusually cheap: reported at $9, $19 and $49 per year as of 2026, with custom domains and forms arriving on the middle tier. If a beautiful single page is all you want, Carrd is arguably the best value in this whole list and we'd say so.
Squarespace belongs here only to rule it out: as of 2026 it has no free plan, just a 14-day trial (no card required, extendable on request) during which your site stays private. Beautiful product, not a free one.
A well-run Instagram or Facebook business page plus a link-in-bio tool covers more ground than agents give it credit for. Linktree, as of 2026, has a free-forever tier with unlimited links; the trade is visible Linktree branding, and custom domains sit on its upper paid tiers.
The real limitation isn't branding, it's permanence. A social profile is a room in someone else's building, subject to their algorithm and their rules. It's a great front door and a poor foundation.

Pricing and plan details reflect what we could verify in 2026 and are worth re-checking at the source.
We'd rather say this than pretend otherwise. Free is the right call if:
Paying starts to make sense when the borrowed address becomes the awkward part: printing business cards, running ads, sending a listing presentation, or realizing you might not be at this brokerage in two years.
Build it free at agentsitehq.com and publish it. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing, and you'll be looking at your actual site rather than a mockup.
If the free version does the job, keep it — that's a legitimate outcome and we're fine with it. If you decide you want your own name on the door, the badge gone, and the files in your hands, it's $297 once, with a 14-day refund. Never a subscription.

It's really free and it doesn't expire. No credit card, no signup trial clock, no feature locked behind an upgrade. You build a complete site and publish it live. The trade is that it lives at agentsitehq.com/s/your-name, carries a small "Built free with AgentSiteHQ" badge in the footer, and runs on our hosting rather than files you own.
The website itself is the same — same pages, same design, same contact form. The $297 buys ownership: your own domain instead of our link, the badge removed, your site files exported so you own them outright, and the site moves with you if you change brokerages. It's one payment with a 14-day refund, never a subscription.
You can. Just be honest with yourself about how it reads: agentsitehq.com/s/jane-smith or janesmith.wixsite.com looks like a free site, because it is one. If printed marketing is a big part of how you get business, a domain in your own name is usually worth the one-time cost.
Set it up — it's usually free, it often connects to an MLS feed, and it's already available to you. Just don't treat it as your only web presence. It typically carries brokerage branding, sits on their domain, and in most cases disappears if you change firms, taking any traffic and links with it. Terms vary by brokerage, so check yours.
A page on someone else's domain builds that domain's authority rather than your own, and that's true of every free option including ours. For most agents it matters less than they expect, since leads arrive through referrals, social bios and listing links rather than organic search. If ranking for local search terms is central to your plan, own your domain from the start.
Add your name and a listing and publish it free at agentsitehq.com/s/your-name. Want your own domain, the badge gone and the files to keep? A one-time $297 — no monthly fees, 14-day refund.
