HouseHunt - Best Marketing Decision I've Made

By
Real Estate Agent with Kevin Teeters Realty LLC

 

 

A couple of months ago, I made the decision to sign-up with HouseHunt.  I must say this was one of the best marketing decisions I have made for my business.  Having now been listed as the preferred agent for my area, I am receiving dozens of leads every day from interested buyers clicking anywhere online for properties in my area.

 The great thing is that once you sign-up with HouseHunt for your area, no other Realtor in your area can compete with you.  You are the exclusive Realtor for your area at that point.

From their site, potential buyers can search real estate by city, find local Realtors, view housing market trends, find investment properties, see the safest cities and the top most expensive cities. 

If you haven't joined yet, no worries.  Just visit http://www.househunt-inc.com/ and you can complete the process.

Information from their website: 

The HouseHunt System for SuccessTMis based on increasing the sales and net profits of one real estate professional per community. This significant new business is achieved through HouseHunt's proprietary system and tools which utilize the power of the Internet. HouseHunt's exclusive territories are unlike most other company models, which attempt to sell their product to as many agents as possible.

The system delivers a consistent flow of buyer and seller leads, provides a competitive edge over the competition for obtaining listings, brands the agent as the leader in their community, and builds and maintains client relationships with its automated follow-up systems.

The System for SuccessTM has produced incredible results for hundreds of real estate professionals, including: the largest national franchises, regional independents, and small boutique agencies.

"What I love about the system is that I no longer have to prospect for new business. Every day I turn on my computer, check my email and start calling the leads that I receive from my HouseHunt.com and moveUp.com territories."

Established in 1995, HouseHunt was created with one simple purpose: To help real estate professionals utilize the Internet to increase their market share, sales, commissions and net profits. The founders of the company combined two completely different backgrounds and abilities to develop one of the most powerful and revolutionary success systems in real estate today.

Dr. Satoaki Omori is a rocket scientist originally hired by NASA to create the combustors for the space shuttle. As a founder of HouseHunt he utilized his expertise to develop systems and technology that continues to keep HouseHunt in the forefront of search engines. Dr. Omori has also been instrumental in implementing the efficient systems that allow our agents to remain in touch with their prospects and save thousands of hours and dollars.

In addition to his career as a certified public accountant, Mike Bearden was also a highly successful and reputable real estate agent, broker and developer beginning in 1978. As the co-founder of HouseHunt, Mike continues to apply the real estate knowledge, marketing, and sales expertise along with his extraordinary customer service standards that sets HouseHunt apart from other lead-generation companies.

HouseHunt takes great pride in its ability to elevate real estate professionals to succeed in the real estate business. We believe that it is not about us, but about YOU.

Hi Kevin,  Can you tell me how many leads you have now been able to convert to contracts?  Since you have had the service for awhile I am curious to learn more!  Thank you..Ginger

Hi Ginger,

I can't speak for Kevin, but it might be too soon for him to have converted any leads yet.  I've had some clients sell a home in their first month, or even their first week.  However that is the exception to the rule.  Typically you should expect several months for your first transaction depending on where your buyers are coming from, whether they have to sell their existing home before they can buy in your area, and whether there are children or job factors that are in play.

Respectfully,

Bruce
