Househunt.com

Hi Jeff.  I wanted to give you some insight from a Househunt.com agent not in your area.  I'm in Nashville, Tennessee.  I have been with Househunt.com since January of 2006.  I'm the type who will try anything once.  I called Househunt after a saw an ad in the REBAC magazine -The Real Estate Professional.  One of the agents featured as a top performer was right here in my area - in my backyard.  I called him and asked him a bunch of questions.  He had nothing but wonderful things to say.  He went from $0 sales to about $6 million in about 2-3 years time (don't quote me on the time period as that conversation was a while ago).  I called Househunt.com myself and bought two territories here in Middle Tennessee.  The first year with the 2 territories, I averaged 60 or so leads a month.  They are typical internet leads - some good, some not.  I personally feel that internet leads are about the same quality of leads I meet in person or who call me off of a sign - some good, some not.  It's a numbers game.  Anyway, at the end of 2006, I had closed nearly $2 million in sales directly from Househunt.  My longest lead took 12 months.  My shortest 60 days from start to close.  In January of 2007, I did drop one of my territories as the leads did not fit my business plan, meaning they were wanting more rural properties outside my immediate service area.  I decided to concentrate on the higher dollar, more easily accessible leads.  By the end of 2007, I will have done another $1.5-$2.0 million in sales from househunt.com.  One of my listings right now is a referral from one of the househunt clients I helped last year.  My most recent househunt client just closed on September 29th and she took 4 months from start to finish.  

As I have just started blogging and I have never been interested in websites, technology, etc., what I liked about Househunt.com is the search engine placement they provide for my website.  My site/househunt comes up on the first page of Google search results for the most commonly searched keywords.  I have people visit my site over and over because they say it comes up on the first page.  Consumers like the site because it ALWAYS comes up, it's easy to navigate, and they like to use it.  You can check it out at www.Relocate2Tennessee.com.  These things are huge for me.  I have a constant and consistent lead generator that I do nothing to.  No daily or weekly maintenance - nothing. 

I know everybody does not and will not have the results I have had.  But if you follow up on the leads quickly (I tend to catch people still on my site with my quick calls.) and CONSISTENTLY FOLLOW UP, Househunt.com can be your best lead generator hands down.  Feel free to call me or email me if you have any questions.
