I did a little research on where most people found the home that they bought. 

1.  Realtor  -36%

2. Internet- 24%

3. Yard Signs- 15%

4. Referrals- 7%

5. Home Builders- 7%

6. Advertising or Newspapers- 6%

7. Knows the Seller- 3%

8. Others- >1%

These are very interesting numbers.  What is seems to show, is that to have the most chance of selling your home it needs to accessible to realtors and advertised on the internet.  You should make sure that your agent is very knowledgable in the computer age, with so many people using the computers today.  This is something we pride our selves on.  When you are either interviewing or thinking of selling your home make sure you our focused on where most people find a home today.  Jason Vombaur- The "J" Team.

You may want to state your sources, to avoid being labeled the plague.  Looks like NAR, or Mike Ferry, which is from NAR.  You also may want to checkout ePro.  They quote a calif study, I think in 2004, that showed over 80%(I think) of buyers were first seeing their home on the internet, and then calling an agent.  That pretty well kicks the crap out of NAR's typical numbers.
