Zillow can be your tool - why not use it?

I went to zillow.com today just to see if anything was new in "my towns". It's quite amazing that it's such a blank slate still. I'm going to use it as a tool to connect with buyers and sellers of Maui real estate. I don't care if their zestimates are inaccurate - that's just another reason why a buyer needs an agent, and hopefully they will contact me.

Previously I have uploaded photos of my towns, because NOBODY else has. Why not?

Here's what I did today....

In my towns there were no discussions going. So I started some about RELOCATION PACKAGES, and put the links to my RELOCATION PACKAGES here on AR. I also started some discussions in each town with links to my website.... why isn't anyone else doing this? You can do it!

If consumers are going to zillow.com for local information about buying homes in your neighborhood - give them some information, and especially your contact info. You can be the local expert. What are you waiting for? Take advantage of this free service.

If you'd like to know more about Maui County Real Estate sales, please let a long time Maui resident help you.

Thanks for the post Georgina. I have heard of Zillow, but have never gone. Its now on my list of sites to check out. I think one reason some of these sites take a while to get rolling is because there are so many out there. I never had a clue how much info was out there until I started looking! Thanks again!

BJ - Every little thing helps.

Ben - Zillow might be a good thing or it might be a bad thing, but it's how you choose to use it that makes the difference. Of course I might change my mind on that later.... : )

Georgina, Thanks so much for the great information! I am headed to Zillow to check it out! They do have some inaccurate info, don't they? Makes me crazy when clients say "Zillow says" blah blah blah....Thanks again! Elizabeth

Georgina-Hi.....hey how's your e-PRO Course going? I think you have a great idea.....and whatever Lyn wrote, well I am going to assume it wasn't complimentary to Zillow. I used Zillow once, and it was kind of fun. Yes they were off, but I still liked the site. It's a tool, not the end all :)

Georgia, Something happened that one day & AR was stuck! Posted the same thing 6 times which I removed. Thanks for your comment, I am glad you read at least one of the 6. I did leave one!

Hi Georgina - Thanks so much for the helpful tip. I just checked out my area - Rockland County, NY - and while there are discussions going on, all of the input is from Real Estate Agents. I think that I can, as you suggested, establish myself as the area expert in mortgages.

Lyn - it's odd - I saw all of your messages in my inbox, but none of them stayed here. I was hoping that it was you that removed them, and not some unknown entity - a moderator. I think it was a good comment. Thanks for coming back.

Steven - well there you go... a change to get your name out there.
