Asheville- Real Estate Web 2.0 & BUILDING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS  Part 2 Win/Win 2009 

I was looking at this graphic at 1000WattConsulting  (here it is...go to the link for a more readable version)

Looking at it, I was reminded once again of the depth and breadth and inter-connectivity of the Real Estate Web 2.0 environment.

At least 300,000 real estate professionals work within this arena..but it is "a brave new world"  for the 900,000 others who are the majority. 

When they enter, they will find that this is a world in flux.  More and more (see Saul Kleins' White paper) we are advancing into an even more focused consumer-facing Web 5.0. Realizing this, a question presents itself:

WHAT do these searchers want?

Those of us who are familiar with the territory have discovered and are of the opinion that consumers want to gather meaningful real estate information.

WHAT is "MEANINGFUL"?

1.  "Meaningful" : What lies beyond  data and information, demographics and what's on a listing sheet.

2.  "Meaningful" : Value-added, hands-on interpretation and perspective on local real estate markets from local experts.

Example: In the case of our brokerage, we are concerned with offering objective fiduciary counsel and buyer advocacy -and we go even further by specializing in a niche market; ECO-Friendly Land and Homes.

Certainly, for those seeking counsel in matters "Green" they can find a "meaningful" connection with the possibility of value-added interpretation of local happenings here.

Especially with the ever-growing influence of the World Wide Web, the personal connection with a professional who is educated in the local real estate market really matters! And what is shared must not just be property type, price and quantity, but an  interpretation of the data and informationwe think might be  the cornerstone of  building sustainable relationships. 

" I LOVE the practice of real estate, " I said in the post found at the link above.  And continued, " One of the reasons why I love the practice is that we have the chance to arrive at, set the tone for, and practice attractive ways to relate to each other and to our clients. .. The value of authentic exchanges ...[works] when the outcome is so attractive for everyone involved.

And do YOU agree?....that ...After all, every one of us has a Dream that quietly and unobtrusively asks to be fulfilled. "
