One of the things I pride myself on as a Listing Agent is the power of my internet marketing program. When I meet with potential sellers in the Maple Valley area, I am able to demonstrate to them through statistics and anecdotes how an effective internet marketing strategy, combined with an experienced eye on local trends can help them be successful, even in today's market.
One of the features I offer to website visitors is the ability to sign up for automatic Listing updates for the Maple Valley market. A few weeks ago I received an email from a soldier in Iraq who had signed up to have new listings emailed to him. He is researching different communities in the Seattle area, trying to determine where he and his family will settle when he comes home.
Here's a snippet of his email:
We really do have a broad geography.
I am looking for good schools from Bonney Lake to Lake Stevens. Maple
Valley is the center and your web-site kept turning up every time I
searched on "Maple Valley". (Emphasis added by me)
On a weekly basis I have people visiting my various websites and blogs from New York to Texas to California to Dubai (?), and other many other international locations (ok, I'll admit I don't even know where some of these countries are) and many of them are repeat visitors.
Over 80% of home buyers begin their home search on the internet. Today more than ever, it's imperative to your success that your property have maximum (read global!) exposure beyond a simple MLS listing format. Buyers want details, photos and virtual tours. They want to shop in their PJ's from the comfort of their living room.
And I'm happy to help them!
If you plan on selling your Maple Valley home in the near future, I'd love the opportunity to talk with you (no obligation of course) about the power of internet marketing and how it is possible to sell, even in a slower market.
