In the competitive world of commercial real estate, establishing a strong presence is crucial. For Tim Dulany, Sr. Vice President & Associate Broker of Dulany Property Advisors, building a solid foundation for his expanding business meant more than just finding the right properties—it meant creating a professional online presence. We sat down with Tim to discuss his journey, the challenges he faced, and how working with Skyway Web helped take his business to the next level.
From Arizona to Florida: A Growing Business
With over 31 years in commercial real estate brokerage, Tim has seen it all. From leasing and developing office spaces to handling industrial land, senior housing, and retail properties, his experience spans a vast range of sectors. Recently, Tim took a bold step by expanding his business from Arizona to Florida.
“I really wanted to give myself a name that people could recognize,” Tim explained. “When potential clients or investors hear about me, I wanted them to have a place to go—a website that would showcase my transactional history, credentials, and contact information. That’s what legitimizes a business.”
The Challenge: Establishing Credibility Online
Like many business owners, Tim knew he needed a website but wasn’t sure how to approach it.
“Before working with Skyway Web, I was pretty much running my business with a P.O. box and a business card,” he said. “That’s not exactly the kind of presence I wanted. I needed something that showed I had the infrastructure in place, that I was serious about what I do.”
Skyway Web helped Tim capture his years of experience in a professional, user-friendly website, giving him a digital home where clients could learn about his business. The process also allowed Tim to reflect on the sheer number of transactions he had handled over the years.
“I had to take a deep dive into my business history, and honestly, I hadn’t realized just how many deals I had closed. Looking back, it was a good learning experience.”
A Smooth, Seamless Website Build
When it came to working with Skyway Web, Tim appreciated the hands-on approach and efficiency.
“We got things up and running pretty quickly,” he said. “Once I provided the necessary information, the team built my website fast and without any hassle. It was a great experience.”
The Impact of a Professional Website
Although Tim is still tracking website traffic, the impact on his business has been clear.
“Having the website has legitimized my business,” he said. “Now, when I communicate with different commercial property owners and leasing agents, I include the website in my email signature. It gives them confidence in who I am and what I’ve done. Instead of wondering if I’m running a small, one-man operation, they see the history, the deals I’ve closed, and the scale of my work. It reinforces that I’m the real deal.”
Advice for Other Business Leaders
For those considering building a website, Tim’s advice is simple: invest in a professional service that meets your needs.
“I absolutely recommend checking out Skyway Web,” he said. “They were very hands-on, met me where I was, and filled in the gaps where I needed help. Sure, you could build a website for a hundred bucks, but you’ll get what you pay for. Working with Skyway was a great experience, and I couldn’t have done it without them.”
Looking Ahead
With a strong digital presence now in place, Tim is focused on growing his business in Florida while continuing his real estate success in Arizona. His website stands as a testament to his experience, professionalism, and commitment to his clients.
