What you need to know about internet real estate marketing - 01/20/08 04:37 PM
Here are the top ten sites for December. Realtor.com is leading with Trulia recently passing up Zillow and looking to gain ground. Why is this important? Because everybody starts online when it comes to finding a home. 85% this year will and I estimate that the number will rise to 95% in next few years. Realtor.com gets 5 million hits alone each month. If you are going list your home you better have an agent who has a foot in the internet arena. I personally have my listings at 4 of the sites mentioned above. One advantage Prudential has is that … (0 comments)

How Many Photographs Did Your Agent Upload To The MLS? - 01/13/08 10:00 AM
If the answer is less than 20, you may want to consider someone who takes the marketing of your home more seriously. One agent recently studied 268 listings in the MLS and found that homes with more photos sold much faster than those with just a few.

Cheapest Land In Malibu.....$4,999.00 - 01/12/08 09:31 PM

Yes, someone is selling some Malibu dirt online. If you are interested you can … (5 comments)
