Your For Sale Home Must Be On The Internet Everywhere

Internet SearchAs a seller of a home working with a professional real estate agent nowadays keep this thought top of mind:

Your For Sale Home Must Be On The Internet Everywhere.

Why? I have been watching this number climb HIGHER and higher each year with new surveys and now they are saying something like 90% of buyers looking for your home start the search on the Internet, and keep searching there as well.

Most major real estate firms have the multiple feeds to so many web sites but if you go with a smaller brand or individual do the check yourself and do make sure you are

     EVERYWHERE !!!

The numbers don't lie. Our customer today spends more time on the computer then in front of a TV or radio. Our job is to get in front of them.

Gary-That is how I searched for homes in Va when Mom and I moved here. Doing the leg work ahead of time makes a huge difference.

It is the way we find houses now...period. If we don't get our listings all over the net - we are losing prospective buyers. Having an agent who understands how important it is to be in all the possible spots is critical. Good post Gary.

Excellent reminder, Gary. I recently met with a couple who called to talk about possibly changing brokers. They had no idea if or where their house was on the internet. That blew me away.

That is the nice thing about a MLS agent...Once on the MLS the listing shows up on all the major sights and Real Estate Web sites.

You have the number right about 90% of all buyers start their home search on the internet.

Good luck success.

Gary so true, the internet is where your property will get noticed so you want to check that it is everywhere online.

Gary, this is my primary listing tool. I'm not just talking syndication. Blogging on multiple sites will get lots of attention for sellers. By using the right keywords, sellers homes will pop up in lots of places.

Gary - great advice.  I am fortunate enough to work with a company that has a great on-line marketing program.. and of course, there is the power of the rain!

So true. Our job of home searching has become a lot easier. Virtually all buyers have already done their research--thus the reason we really should be everywhere. Thanks for the blog.
