Whether you’ve learned to thrive or simply survive in the real estate era of H, M, R, RF, T, or Z, you can’t deny that the way you do business has forever changed. Real estate agents are no longer the safe keeper of new listings – now everyone has equal “access” to the same tool as realtors. Around 2006 when real estate was at its peak, people who can get a loan with almost little questions asked were looking for homes as no down payment, ARM, interest only loan were incentives to buy. Online portals had an edge to look for properties. If there is a home of interest the buyer picked a pretty faced premier agent to show and write an offer. That became the time these third party portals jumped on the bandwagon capturing property searches.
Private persons prefer to look on their own often without a realtor. They check the open house schedule and browse without a buyer agent. These days they look from their smart phone when see a home home of interest. Many of these sites got property information, how much it was sold who were the agents. Some sites offer a lucrative monetary rebate if you go with them.
The way I see it you want them to stay with you is providing quality listing information on a regular basis. Unfortunately, that is what the buyer can do themselves. Often the buyers does not know what they want but when they do see a perfect home whoever is nearest to him is their agent. They totally ignored and forgot about who they spoke to a few months ago. The information offered from these third party sites are dated and often fraudulent. It does not matter, people love and want good deals which are often to real to be true. This is where a trusted professional can sort things out for their clients.
