Get an Online Makeover from your Real Estate Fairy Godmother

Everybody loves a good New Years makeover; even if we don’t get around to it until February.   After we lose the pounds, there is, of course, a trip to the mall to re-vamp the closet and possibly even a trip to the salon to update the old hairdo. Then, just like every makeover show we've ever seen or ugly duckling movie we've ever watched, there is that iconic moment where the "After" results are revealed and everybody stops and stares with new admiration at a person who was there all along, but didn’t get a second glance until now. As we all know, unfortunately appearance does matter.

The makeover I am talking about, however, is a little bit more complex than that. What I propose to you is an Online Presence Makeover.

Most likely, if you have been around the block as a real estate agent, you are signed up with all of the major real estate portals. However, I also know that sometimes agents have a tendency to sign up for websites on impulse, only to never return. When was the last time you updated your profile on any of these sites?

First and foremost, you need to take inventory of what you already have. I know it's difficult to remember all of the sites that you have signed up with throughout the years, so here is a checklist of some of the main sites to get your wheels spinning and spark your memory.

Zillow
Trulia
Realtor.com
Facebook
Twitter
Homes.com
Realtytrac.com
Homegain.com
Patch.com (read our recent blog for more info!)
Yelp

As you all know, websites are constantly changing, making updates, and offering new features. You need to revisit them, especially if they are free, and see what new options you have as their customer.

Not only are the websites changing, but you are too! In the last year, your business may have grown, you’ve taken new pictures, perhaps changes locations or got a new phone number.  Are your sites up to date? What if somebody was to find you on Zillow, call the number you have listed, only to find that it has been disconnected. You just lost a lead. What does every makeover victim need? A fairy godmother of course!

RealSupport will be your wave-of-the-wand Fairy Godmother that gives your online presence an instant makeover. It's a big job for a busy agent and it's a task best left to your Real Estate Virtual Assistant. We've actually developed a one-stop-shop package so that we can completely cover all of your bases and you can know upfront exactly how much it will cost you.  Whether that means enhancing your Zillow profile by adding a video resume, or getting you and your business on Patch for the first time. It's all included!

Before Picture: A fair-weather agent, possibly puts a lot of time into your own website, but has completely forgotten about all of the other real estate portals out there. A half-finished Zillow profile, an outdated picture on Realtor.com, and never quite got to adding her contact info to Yelp.

After RealSupport steps in: A fully enhanced profile on every website, filled with home video tours, links to your website and all social networking sites, fully updated resumes, and all updated contact information.

Believe me, people will take notice. We know you were there all along, but with your new look, now consumers will start taking notice too. After all, that's what fairy godmothers are for!
