What the web site does to help sell your property
The Internet and World Wide Web are the greatest single source of Real Estate business for those who use them effectively. Web sites are virtual color brochures which prospective buyers can view at their leisure; then call or write us when they are ready to see your property in person. Over 90% of our prospects come from our highly advertised Web site. Most Realtors get only a few % of their business from the Web, and they don't have sites like this one!

We advertise our web site in newspapers, magazines, real estate web directories and Internet discussion groups. When you do a national directory search for this site, it is listed in over 40,000 locations and we have several other sites that lead to this one as well. We have spent many thousands of hours and thousands of dollars to get our site to come up in the major search engines especially www.Google.com the TOP search engine on earth. Google does over 95% of the search work done on the Web, but we also pay to use another 37 of the most popular search engines as well.

People LOVE pictures, especially when searching the Web.

Most other sites have one, or perhaps two or three pictures of homes and land (at the most) on the MLS and on their web sites. We have twelve or more for most of our properties.

Many people search the Internet for property in special locations and are interested in recreation, lodging and real estate in our area we have numerous ways for them to find us in Web Searches in addition to the above: we have paid to have our sites listed under many different search criteria with the major search engines. This is done to help buyers find us and to help sellers get more exposure.

Web based marketing is responsible for over nine tenths of the calls we get each day and is rapidly becoming the MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROMOTE A PROPERTY. For properties over $300,000 about 98% of the e-mail and calls are from our various Internet marketing activities. We also send out periodic newsletters and entice those thinking of purchasing Real Estate in the future.

Professional real estate advisors tell us to expect over 80% of ALL real estate business to come from Internet marketing within the next two years. Our experience is already well beyond that figure!

Other Info

Print media advertising is certainly not dead. We use it a lot. We advertise extensively in the local publications. The print media have been, until the Web, the primary source of prospects for local real estate. And they are still an effective way to get people to our Web sites. Most people who are interested in real estate pick up the local papers for the area they want to be, as they go TO the area first, usually several times, or are advised by friends who live there. Once people are convinced to live or buy in a particular area they often subscribe to the local papers of that area.

We keep you advised and informed on local market activity and changes. We also follow up with any other Realtors who show the property to ensure that they have our complete and speedy help in getting their purchasers to buy your property instead of some other one.

There will be a For Sale Sign on your property, a nice large one, with our web site listed on the sign as well. As you can see, we consider our web site to be a huge color catalog that is far too large to print, on paper, every day or weekly.

We will personally call, deliver and mail flyers to the most successful Realtors in the area who have a track record of selling properties like yours. They will ordinarily find the property on-line anyway -- but these busy Realtors still get our special and repeated attention. Other Realtors are fully in every way possible; this is not usually done in this area. We owe and give our allegiance to YOU when you list your property with us, and we are always helping others to sell your property too.
