San Juan Islands, WA relys on out of the area Buyers

The market has been slow in all areas of Washington for selling real estate but in some areas they are just now seeing activity.  The San Juan Islands is one of these areas.  One of the many differences in selling real estate in the San Juan Islands is that most of the Buyers don't live on Orcas, San Juan Island, Shaw, Lopez, Fidalgo or any of the many outer islands.  Most of the Buyers have come for a vacations and can't believe the beauty, the layed back lifestyle and the friendliness of the people who live and work in the San Juan Islands. 

Many of these visitors go home thinking they either want to buy a vacation home, investment property, retirement home or figure out a way to sell what they have and chuck it all to move for the island lifestyle.  Isn't it every ones dream to live on an island, have a beautiful home with a fantastic water view and know you  have a wonderful place as well to raise your family?  Well it may not be everyones, but for many people out there... the San Juan Islands can offer just that. 

This is why advertising in a publication like THE REAL ESTATE BOOK can help a real estate agent sell their listings.  Did you know that THE REAL ESTATE BOOK is the Number ONE real estate publication in the nation?  THE REAL ESTATE BOOK  is in over 500 markets across the United States, Canada, the  Caribean and Mexico.  This is twice as many markets as 'Homes.com' (225 markets) and 'Homes and Land'(215 markets)  combined.  Doesn't it just make sense that if a magazine is in more markets than it's nearest two competitors  that they are then reaching more of the buying public?   This is important even for big name real estate companies.  Windermere real estate is well known on the west coast but go into Texas.....and most people have never heard about Windermere Real Estate.  This is important to know as with the industry moving more and more on the Internet,  the company that is postured themselves in more places than any other within their industry, they will have the name recognition to also dominate the Internet. 

If you are a real estate agent and your business is coming from 'off island' then you need to be advertising in an area that reaches the Buying public. Many years ago Bob Vila, a well known home improvement guru with his own syndicated TV show and 'High Traffic' webdite,  approached THE REAL ESTATE BOOK's  parent company, Network Communications Inc., with the idea of expanding his website to include real estate.  He said he chose THE REAL ESTATE BOOK as his ideal Online partner   because of the Brand Name and that he knew www.RealEstateBook.com had the most listings of properties then any other real estate website with  High Traffic volume.     This was to become one of the first major Online partnerships that THE REAL ESTATE BOOK was to become associated with for its advertising real estate agents. 

For real estate agents on the San Juan Islands,  if getting their properties in front of as many qualified Buyers as they can is important,  then THE REAL ESTATE BOOK San Juan Islands, WA edition can offer them not only local print advertising on the islands, all Washington State Ferries, mainland distribution through out Anacortes, La Conner as well as in corporate offices through out the Eastside of King County but also include over 27 major online Internet partnerships  http://www.realestatebooksanjuanislands.com/images/stories/websites-column_60808.jpg; NYTIMES.com; WallStreetJournal.com; RealtyTrac, Yahoo Real Estate; and many more with over 48 Milliion Unique Visitors a month .........and do it all at an affordable cost.
