internet: Marketing Atlanta Real Estate – An Insight to a Generational Gap. - 11/16/09 02:21 AM
No matter how much hype we have in Atlanta Real Estate about the buyers in the current market, one thing everyone is in agreement on is that the largest percentage of Atlanta Real Estate sales is still going to the first time homebuyers.  This is the generation of current home buyers that instead of sports after school or building go carts made of crates from produce stands - after school they were busy gaming. That is their recreation and entertainment.  This is the generation that grew up online.  If they want the news, they do not even turn on the TV.  They instead … (16 comments)

internet: I Just Want the Address! - 10/11/09 04:10 PM
First of all, I like to make one thing clear.  I've been selling homes on the Internet for over 13 years now.  It accounts for over 90% of our business.  My specialty is lead conversion...it works really well, and it pays the bills!  However, it is amazing that every day or so we receive a call from a buyer(s) that just want the address of a listing on our website.  First of all it is not my listing it is probably one of about 75000 IDX listings on one of my websites.  If you are unfortunate enough to engage these callers … (20 comments)

internet: The Many Sources of Lead Generation and Real Estate Survival - 07/17/09 03:41 PM
Most agents in real estate never quite get how real estate works.  They start off on fire and quickly burn through their sphere of influence and then start looking for their next deal.  The problem is that some times those next deals are very few and far between.  More often than not these agents sit around the office waiting for a walk in or a lead from the broker....I only hope they are not holding thier breath these days..they may be in for a big surprise.  In real estate those that are veterans know that we can never  rely on only … (41 comments)

internet: Internet Tax - Would You Pay? - 02/16/09 10:08 AM
Everyone loves the Internet because the use of it is FREE!  Well up until now it has been a place where you could surf the net, gain knowledge, and not pay anything.  Well under the budget crisis, nothing may be sacred anymore.  In the last hour the Governor of New York State Governor David Paterson proposed a Tax on Internet downloads. Governor Patterson proposed this afternoon a new 4% tax on all Internet downloads.  This fee would apply to all downloads of books, video and other content that one normally downloads on the Internet.  His measure is proposed to lower the gap on New … (59 comments)

internet: Smart MLS Map Portals Drive Traffic to Clients Websites - 02/05/09 02:03 PM
Owning a real estate website is one thing, owning a website that not only creates business but benefits the user and end client is quite another.  More often than not when an agent or broker owns a website the missing link is the traffic that will generate real leads for the owner of the website, and the clients they serve.  Search Engine Optimization and web placement are key to generating meaningful leads, and th4 ability to follow up those leads.  A great friend of mine in Atlanta Bill Boyer owner and developer of EWebEngine.Com is a master of generating leads for his … (22 comments)

internet: Spring Real Estate Markets, Are You Ready to Sell? - 01/25/09 02:46 PM
The end of January is approaching fast, and based on my observations I realize a lot of sellers are going to try to get a jump on the spring market.  Will they sell their Atlanta home, or just list it?  What does that mean?  It means that more sellers will be listing their homes much earlier this year than normal trying to avoid the fierce competition to sell a home in the peak of the market. But the question to ask, is will they be successful?
In a normal spring Atlanta real estate market sellers will normally place their homes on the market around … (12 comments)

internet: Changing the Web Template for the Holidays - 12/24/08 03:13 AM
Since I am also my own webmaster most holidays I would revamp my entire site and put up holiday greetings...  I enjoyed it, but it is very time consuming.  I would like to think the public viewing a website notices the difference also.  I think it can make a great difference in how they view you and perhaps even put them at ease that you just are not a static sales person only looking for your next deal.  Since we conduct real estate primarily from the web - a new search engine that we are using for out of state has the … (8 comments)

I just opened an e-mail from RE/MAX Regional and was impressed with a new beta tool I saw.  It shows live buyer traffic across the nation in live time views.  If you ever wondered how many buyers were out there right now looking for a home at this very moment...now you know!   You can view this buyer LIVE MAP SEARCH AT REMAX.COMsearches on  RE/MAX Buyer Map Beta .
Let me know what you think!   I've seen similar web traffic maps, but not this good looking in real time.  It is always good to know the market is not totally dead!  LOL!

internet: Does Your Real Estate Website Comply with Your State License Law? - 02/22/07 09:34 AM
As I search the Internet everyday looking at real estate sites, it is amazing what you can find or not find!  On most of the real estate sites I come across it is impossible to tell if the owner of the site is even a licensed real estate agent.  No names of agent / broker, no addresses of the state licensed real estate company anywhere! This isn't even including phone numbers.  They take the term BLIND SITE to a new level! An example of this is an agent that operates a FOR SALE BY OWNER SITE, and markets a mix of listings MLS … (50 comments)
