Realtors - Advertise your
'branded' Webpage to get 'direct calls' for
your listings!
The Internet has made the
task of searching for a home easy and
convenient. These days when one has to look
for a home, the first thing they do is
connect to the internet and do a search
online.
Keep Sharp - Keep Fresh -
Keep Current......
Using the internet to advertise your best
property is an economical advertising avenue
for realtors. Professional real estate
agents are spending mega dollars advertising
in local newspapers in an effort to satisfy
their clients needs for a fast sale.
Internet advertising is more effective and a
lot less money.

The fact is:
-
People who are using the
Internet to search online for real
estate have the right idea. The
internet is a fantastic information
gathering tool.
-
Online FSBA (For Sale By
Agent) listings provide more details and
pictures which help the buyer make an
informed decision on whether to contact
you and set up a time to see your
listing. The Internet saves the time
of both home buyers and you.
-
Most people are not
buyers..... they are "looking".
You need these prospects in your "every
two week new listing e-mail auto
responder".
-
As a professional
realtor, you probably already have a
personal web site. Good for you;
however, it's nowhere near as effective
as a second or even a third site that's
actually found on the first page
of popular search engines using the most
common real estate searched phrases.
Statistics you shouldn't ignore.....
2006 statistics
prove that the majority of people
looking for $150,000 and up real estate for
sale look first to the internet. In
2006
a Home Buyer & Seller Survey Showed Rising
Use of Internet - Technology is transforming
how North Americans buy and sell homes in
unexpected ways, including how they work
with real estate agents and brokers,
according to one of the largest surveys of
real estate consumers ever conducted. The
study was released by the National
Association of Realtors®.
Use of the
Internet to search for a home has risen
dramatically over time, increasing from only
2 percent of buyers in 1995 to 77 percent in
2005; it was 74 percent in 2004. The next
largest source of information for buyers is
a yard sign, mentioned by 71 percent of
buyers.
When asked where they first learned about
the home purchased, 24 percent of buyers
identified the Internet, up strongly from 15
percent in 2004 and only 2 percent in 1997.
Although most buyers use an agent to
complete the transaction, they first narrow
their possibilities by an Internet search.

Buyers look online first....
These numbers are escalating every year.
Some say in 2008 over 80% of home buyers
will start their house search on the
Internet.
The National Association of
Realtors' Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers
for 2007 reveals some important
secrets realtors can't afford to ignore.
Here's the inside scoop.
The Internet: more important than signs
and agents?
One of the most surprising statistics from
the NAR report was the steep decline in the
number of buyers who located their property
with a realtor vs. on the Internet. In 1997,
only 2 percent of the buyers found their
property online, while 50 percent found
their property through a real estate agent.
In 2007, 29 percent of the buyers found
their property online vs. 34 percent
with a real estate agent. Buyers also found
the Web to be more useful than working with
agents. Seventy-eight percent reported that
the Web was "very useful" vs. 70 percent who
reported agents were very useful. In
comparison, yard signs came in at 29 percent
and open house at 24 percent.
For most young people,
the Internet is a part of daily life....
Studies show the first
generation born and raised in the era of the
Internet (known as “Net Gen”) are the
up-and-coming home buyers. Net Gen members
were born between 1977 and 1996. To reach
and serve these Net Gen home buyers,
realtors must be on the cutting edge of
technology and stay on top of Internet
developments.
This generation’s reliance on the Web can
already be seen as Internet resources become
more important in the home search process –
four out of five recent home buyers used the
Internet last year to search for a home. For
most young people, the Internet is a part of
daily life, and as younger generations come
of age, social networking sites like
Facebook may offer unique opportunities to
establish and nurture client relationships.
We are fairly new comers to
the For Sale By Agent real estate business,
but we are extremely aggressive. We
may be new to FSBA but we're old hands to
web site positioning. We opened for
business in 1996 and we've successfully
positioned hundreds of web sites.
