How Do Buyer's Find and Purchase Their Home?

By
Real Estate Agent with Dave Edwards Realty

 This following is taken from my website:

Now that the price has been determined and staging is complete we can move on to marketing the property to other Greenville, SC REALTORS and the general public, both locally and around the world. The first question that should be asked is "how do buyers find their home?" Accrording to research by the National Association of Realtors there are three main ways that buyers found their home:

  • Real estate agent (38%)
  • Internet websites (37%)
  • Yard sign (11%)

Now that we know how buyers find their home we can target our marketing to those areas. How does Dave Edwards Realty accomplish this task?

  • Multiple Listing Service (MLS) - the premier location for Greenville, SC REALTORS. Your home will be marketed on this site with the allowed maximum of 25 pictures. In addition there will be detailed information about your property, a members only section for my comments to these REALTORS, and a public section area for describing the benefits of your property.
  • Top real estate websites - your home will be marketed with allowed maximum pictures on the #1 real estate website, www.realtor.com, and many others like www.trulia.com, www.homefinder.com, www.RealtyTrac.com, www.Homes.com, www.Zillow.com, www.OpenHouse.com, AOL Real Estate, Google, www.FrontDoor.com, and up to hundreds of other real estate websites that are a part of my marketing system.
  • Yard sign - a professional yard sign will be placed in your yard. All inquiries about the property will come directly to our office. We will follow up with any potential buyers in a professional and timely manner. In addition, we will put out directional signs to your property for the first four weekends your home is on the market. We would like to leave them out during the week, however, Greenville County Council passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for me to leave them out during the week.

We do other marketing in addition to the above, however, Dave Edwards Realty believes it is best to put our time, money, and energy into the avenues that will produce a sale.

It is vital to know where one gets their leads. I have to admit that calls from signs does equal business if you know how to convert the call.
