MARCH 26, 2011

I HAD TWO BUYERS CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL ON ZILLOW SITE FOR BUYING. ONE ONLY WANTS TO STAY AT 600K FOR A 3 BEDROOM IN ALISO VIEJO AND THE OTHER IS A CONDO FOR 200K. I HAVE BEEN EMAILING PROPERTIES ALL WEEK AND ONE OF THE BUYERS AND I ARE GOING OUT TOMORROW. THEY ARE INVESTORS FROM SAN DIEGO. THEY ARE BOTH PROFESSIONALS AND WILL BE BUYING THEIR FIRST INVESTMENT PROPERTY IN ALISO VIEJO. THEY FEEL THAT IT'S SUCH A NICE FAMILY COMMUNITY AND THEY THINK IT WILL BE EASY TO LEASE.

MY OTHER CLIENTS THAT WANT TO STAY AT ONLY 600K, (THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME...LOL) HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD CHILD AND PLANNING AN ADDITION TO THEIR FAMILY IN THE NEXT YEAR. STILL SENDING EMAILS AND SUPPOSE TO GO OUT AND SEE HOMES THIS WEEK.

I AM SO EXCITED ZILLOW IS WORKING FOR ME!!!

DON'T FORGET IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A ZILLOW CITY AREA FOR YOUR ADVERTISING. CONTACT JESEE FADER. JESSEF@ZILLOW.COM

THANK YOU ZILLOW AND THANK YOU JESSE!!! LOVE ZILLOW~

YOU GET A GOLD STAR IN MY BOOK!!!!

One of my Realtors was asking me about Zillow so I'll have to let him know about this. Thanks for the info.

Lauren: I love to use the Zillow app because it shows me not only what is selling around me but also what has sold. It only makes sense that the general public uses this tool as well when looking for a home.

That would be nice... Endre'We'll see what magic he can work ;) I mentioned a personal zillow blog or two back, but he never responded...

Hella~ it all starts with agents getting their profile on Zillow. When I got a Zillow area~ there wasn't much training since I was already prepared with their site... It ranks as #1 real estate over Realtor.com for consumers looking for real estate.

Lauren - It is good to hear a recommendation for Zillow. I know their advertising is not inexpensive so it's good to know that it is paying off for you. Congratulations and may many more Zillow prospects find their way to you.
