Yelp

     As much as all of my fellow realtors love to blog on the Activerain site I thought I might share with you another site that may help you gain more leads by actually helping buyers.

 

      I have been using Yelp for several months now.  It is easy and fun to use.  Basically, you just go to other businesses and then write a review about them on the site with the number of stars you would give them.

 

Why does this help realtors?  Look at it this way, buyers from out of town who want to know more about where they are moving will go here for reviews on everything from restaurants to realtors.  And that is where you come in handy.  After building your profile hopefully you will gain some nice reviews from your customers who in turn will recommend you to others.  It kind of generates a life of its own after a while.  Once done you can also add a Yelp widget to your website so that viewers can click on it and read all of your reviews.  Your reviews are important because someone who is moving to your city is going to want to read the reviews that come from the person living in that city.  Even someone who doesn't know you will find you if your profile is linked to that city. 

For a sample of what it looks and feels like please visit my Yelp site at...

Morris, I first heard about Yelp back in 2007-2008 or so...and I think before anyone decides to become an active business on that site, they should read the articles that pop up when you Google "yelp east bay express". I stay away from them like the plague!

Thanks for tip, Morris, I will have to research that further.  But I appreciate your efforts to help educate us -- that is one of the wonderful things about the ActiveRain community.  Have a great week, Eric
