Make sure all your listings are on GOOGLE MAPS!  I was lucky enough to catch Missy Caulksblog on the newest feature for real estate.  I knew this was coming but missed the grand opening.  Well, of course there are still obviously bugs to be worked out between Google and the sites that are syndicating to it.  Of course many of us will have multiple sites feeding to Google but, I suggest going and making sure all of your listings are at least on the map once.  Being with Coldwell Banker our national site is feeding to Google but, Listhub is back filling along with Postlets.com.

 Now all the listings are obviously still it seems uploading.  I have some listings with pictures and some with maybe just two of the syndicated sites feeding the listing. 

More info on Google Maps Listing

So I would rush right out and make sure you listings are all being represented.  By the way Postlets.com is working to resolve the issue with the pictures on some of my listings.  I am sure it is just a time issue of uploading all of that data.

 So rush right out and check those listings to make sure we are all covered.  I am going to be sending out links to my clients just so they know that they are on public Google.

Larry, good info, most homebuyers today have done a ton research and have visited many homes before they actually set about finding a realtor

Thanks

Thanks for the reminder Larry!  We believe all ours are there as well through Remax, but with your kind reminder, we are going to check.  Great idea to send out the links to all your clients too, will be incorporating that for sure!  Great post featured in "Be the Best In Your Field" Thanks

Gerry,

You are so right.  Usually I hear from a buyer after they have already been on the internet for awhile by themselves and have narrowed down the choices.  That is why for our listings it is so important that we have that exposure.

Al and Peggy,

Well thanks for the feature.  Hey there is nothing wrong with once in awhile reminding our clients how much we do for them and are constantly working to sell their home.

Hi Larry!  GREAT stuff!  I have not checked them all but, have noticed that most are there already!  I LOVE it and this is one more point of contact to share with my sellers--they just LOVE Google!

Have a great week...

Hi Larry - It makes perfect sense for listing agents to take advantage of all of the options that Google offers. Great reminder not to forget about maps!

Debe,

Yes even though Google is starting to get some competition they definitely are still on top for search engines.

Jon,

Well yes there is a lot on all our plates but, just find the time to check your listings when you can.  I cheated and checked a few then delegated it to my admin.

John,

Yes as Google rolls this out to the public and starts to make them aware we need to already be there waiting on them to come to us.
