From an agents point
of view we feel the need to have
a site developed for us or buy one
“out of
the box” to show vast amounts of information so
peoples’
eyes will pop out for
that WOW effect.
We
have links to everything
easily obtained through any search
engine but it makes us feel great because we HAVE IT ALL. We also (In
most
cases) have a link to the local MLS in some form, so that people can
look and
look and look some more at properties. In most cases we don’t
even know someone
was at our site. We somehow feel comforted that hundreds of people
visited our
site even though we get few if any leads.
Why does a consumer
visit a Real Estate site?
To
look at property. Period;
that’s it!
On
some sites they can wander
through many listings and you
never know they were there. At some; before they can start looking,
they must
sign up. The first thing they do is find a site that requires no sign
up.
Google versus Yahoo
The
winner? Google. Possibly due
to the nice clean no
clutter look even though the results are basically the same. So perhaps
clutter
may not be a good thing.
So why should we
have
a website?
Names,
addresses, phone numbers,
emails, time frames for
buying, anything we can get; but it’s important to GET
SOMETHING!
There
is a saying in the
automotive business (And many other
businesses)”when a customers’ lips are moving
he’s
lying.” You will get the
same from any website gathering information. Sometimes a bad phone
number and sometimes
the wrong time line etc. But if you get a chance to send an email or
say “Hi”
and be of assistance, you’ve got a potential client.
We
believe if you “show
them the goods” and they like the
results, they will sign up and give some basic information. We believe
this
because it’s been proven!
New
Buyer Leads
No
set up fees. (Possibly ending soon)
30
Day free trial
No
long term contracts
No
credit card information up front.
We’ll
prove it works before you spend a cent!
YOU
DO HAVE TO REMEMBER; the
deals do not fall out of the
sky. You must work the leads like they just walked into the office.
We
actually had an agent who
received 71 leads in the first
30 days!!! He didn’t think it was worth the $100.00 per month
going forward! Of
course he never went to the back end of his site to see what they were
looking
at, never even sent an email. YOU HAVE TO MAKE CONTACT.
Final
comment; we’ve
noticed that this thing seems to work
especially well for agents that do rentals and sales. Apparently
immediate
gratification for agents is a good thing.
