How I market your home online

Let’s cut through the hype you may see regarding Internet marketing of real estate. Sure, every agent has a website, and my website is better than most in presenting my listings and showcasing them to their greatest potential. I get my sellers better exposure because my site is search engine optimized and mobile-compatible.

However, there is no single real estate website that’s likely to enjoy more than a single digit percentage of searches performed by buyers looking for local properties. That’s because there are hundreds or thousands of real estate sites and they’re all fighting for searchers, but these searchers are also using a half dozen search engines or other resources to locate real estate in our area.

Why tell you this? I want you to learn about the power of “syndication,” and why I spend significant resources, time, and effort to syndicate your listing information to a great many real estate websites much larger and more heavily visited than any local real estate website will ever be. I have systems in place to have your listing appear on dozens of websites, including Zillow, Yahoo, Trulia, Realtor.com, Craigslist, Google, Redfin and many others within hours of your listing going live on our MLS®.

So, although I’m giving you great search engine exposure, it is definitely NOT my only resource to sell your home. Each of those sites to which I syndicate your listing will have links back to the original and complete listing at my website as well as to a unique property website I will purchase & design for your home, “www.123mainstreet.com.” This is how I excel in tapping the reach and power of the internet to market your property.

I take a full and expert suite of professional quality images of your home. These images will showcase your property and are critical to Internet marketing. Surveys prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that buyers value high quality images more than any other feature of real estate listings. You’d be amazed how many listing agents post very poor quality photos and then wonder why they don’t get traffic through their Open Houses or multiple offers on offer day.

When appropriate, virtual tours &/or video tours posted on YouTube and syndicated via hot links, are also created for your property. Some properties are better marketed with still photographs, others with a slide show of stills, and some with a video and voice–over. I’ll work with you to produce the very best marketing approach for your property.

Thoroughly and expertly written text descriptions and complete MLS® information fields bring every facet of your property to the prospective buyer.

Once a buyer gets to my site or to your unique property site from these many conduits, I don’t just let them look and leave. I offer showings and other special information about the market and your property in exchange for their contact information. If I can get into direct contact with them, it’s going to increase my chances of selling your property to these potential buyers.

I get a great deal of listing business via referrals from my satisfied sellers, so don’t hesitate–let me start helping you today!
