Stop Paying For Leads - Generate Your Own

Daniel Lowery e-PRO, Broker - Owner (1st Choice Real Estate) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:21:07 -0500

Hello, I am sure most of you know there are companies out there that charge ridiculous prices for them to generate leads for you. I know I used house values and Just Listed in the past and at $350 a month I can tell you what I got was ripped off. Instead of buying leads have you thought about a way to generate your own. In the past I have used the Craig Proctor system and I was able to generate better leads for myself at much lower prices that most lead companies charge. All you really need is a good lead capture site with an offer most home buyers and sellers would want, and a catchy newspaper ad to attract visitors to the site. For example you could run a simple ad in the paper saying something like, FREE Quick over the net home evaluation. Find out what your home is worth www.yourdomainname.com. The newspaper ad would direct people to your lead capture site. Once on the site the prospect would enter their info to get the home evaluation. If you have seen the Craig Proctor site then you have an idea of what a lead capture site would look like.

Not only am I a broker I also have my degree in Computer Information Systems and know a great deal about website programming. If interested I could design you a one page lead capture site, Host your site and get you setup with the domain name of your choice. Contact me via ActiveRain let me know what you need, what you want the page to look like and I can give you a price quote. The fee for the site design would vary depending on how you want the site to look and function. Website hosting would be around $4 per month, and the domain name would be $9.99 for one year.

If you are interested or know anyone who might be let me know.

Looking forward to working with you.

Protecting your family and your belongings should be on the top of your list. If you have bought a house the first thing you should consider is changing all the locks in your new home once you close. You just never know who might have a key to your home especially if the home you bought was used as a rental property anytime in the past.

Just a thought.

Jefferson City Missouri – Buyers always get a home inspection

Daniel Lowery e-PRO, Broker - Owner (1st Choice Real Estate) — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:32:36 -0500

If you're currently in the process or you are thinking about buying a house one thing to keep in mind is get the house inspected. A home inspection can help you determine if the house has any problems and what the problem areas are. If there are any serious problems with the house you can negotiate with the home seller to correct these problems, if the seller is willing to fix them great, if not then you have the option to terminate the sales contract.

Why use a Buyer’s Agent

Daniel Lowery e-PRO, Broker - Owner (1st Choice Real Estate) — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 03:28:57 -0500

Why would you want to hire a buyer's agent? - The answer is simple you need someone to look out for your interests. The seller's have a seller's agent who is looking out for them, and you should have an agent looking out for you.

Why can't I just use the seller's agent? - Well you can there is nothing stopping you but remember that agent represents the seller and is negotiating to get the seller the most money possible so therefore they will not be able to represent you. To get the best possible deal you need a buyer's agent to negotiate the best possible price.

How do I choose the right buyer's agent? - You need to look for an agent who will put you first. Someone who will listen to what you want in home and show you only the homes that best fit your needs. You should look for an agent you can trust, someone who is honest, professional and adheres to a strict code of ethics.

Since real estate agents are paid a commission only if they sell a home, how can you be sure they will not rush you in a home? - Again, here is where you want to deal with an agent who is honest, professional and adheres to a strict code of ethics. In my opinion a professional real estate agent will always put you first, they will do what is in your best interest not theirs. In my own experience with salespeople the ones who are pushy and want to pressure you into something are told to hit the road while the ones who are less pushy are rewarded and will get my referrals. Good business practice goes a long way.

New Homes vs. Resale -- 10 Secrets Every New Home Buyer Should Know

Daniel Lowery e-PRO, Broker - Owner (1st Choice Real Estate) — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:19:25 -0500

Although most homes for sale are resales, one out of four homebuyers purchases a new home. Which is better: existing or new?

The right answer, of course, is up to you. Both resales and new homes offer advantages. Existing homes are less expensive on average, and are generally closer to, and enjoy the warmth and surroundings of, established neighborhoods. New homes, on the other hand, offer innovative use of space, modern energy efficiency, and choices of options and upgrades. What's more, everything is new - even the neighbors.

Google Search Results, Is it Possible

Daniel Lowery e-PRO, Broker - Owner (1st Choice Real Estate) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 23:39:26 -0500

Yesterday I was on google messing around with some keywords just to see where my site ranked. For the following search terms jefferson city missouri home buying, and jefferson city missouri home selling I was ranked in the number one spot. Today I thought I would check it out and see if I am still ranked number one. Today I am ranked number two and number three. Is it possible to be in the number one spot today and down the next? The reason I ask is because I would like to run an ad in the homebuyers guide reflecting my number one position in order to get more listings. Thanks

Expired, Your House Didn’t Sell

Daniel Lowery e-PRO, Broker - Owner (1st Choice Real Estate) — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 22:00:07 -0500

How to Sell a House that Didn't Sell

If your home has just come off the market and hasn't sold, don't be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale.

Don't risk making the wrong choice and losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a Realtor, know the right questions to ask to save you time and money.
