Is Your REALTOR Internet Savvy?
According to most experts, 80% of the buyers start their search on the internet to find a home. If your home can’t be found on the internet, you’re missing 80% of the buyers ... especially out of state buyers!
If you are considering listing your house, ranch, farm, or other real estate ... you need to know how internet-savvy the listing agent is that you are considering.
Here are a few tips:
Make sure your new listing agent has a website; not just a web page! A website will have a URL like our personal web site at http://www.starvalleyhometeam.com/, not a web page that is buried deep in the bowels of the listing broker’s website with a URL like this one for our office, RE/MAX Advantage Realty – http://www.wyomingadvantage.com/.
Web pages are nothing more than an internet “business card” and do very little if anything to promote your property.
Free e-mail accounts such as Hotmail, MSN and Yahoo are a big clue that an agent isn’t serious enough about being in real estate to spend the $20 or so a month to ensure that they will receive all of their e-mails.
Will your agent submit your listing to www.REMAX.com, http://www.realtor.com/, http://www.yahoo.com/, http://www.trulia.com/, http://www.craigslist.com/ other major real estate sites to ensure maximum internet exposure?
Do they have a web blog such as http://wyomingadvantage.blogspot.com/?
