What If you could triple your real estate website traffic easily?

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Stars Realty

Tag Based Listings is a topic that I believe many real estate professional are unfamiliar with so I thought I would create a short video and Tag Based Listings in the most basic terms.  I want you to think about Tag Based Listings just like you think about entering your new listing data into your MLS system.  As you enter the new listing you select an area, you select a school district, you tell the MLS how many bedrooms, how many baths, how big the lot is, what price range...essentially you are tagging the features your listing has into the MLS listing database so that the MLS knows exactly which features your home has so that it can match your home to future searches.  Watch the video below and be sure to select HD or the highest viewing option on your device for the best viewing experience.

Most real estate agents feature their real estate listings on their personal website.  However, most of the REALTOR websites that I see only display the homes in price order.  What if your listing could be searched and viewed so that it is displayed so that it appealed to many different buyer groups other than in just those searching for homes in price order?  The reality is that this is VERY possible and it isn't really that hard to do if your website has a tag feature or your site utilizes datasbase with fields.

You are welcome to view some of the different listing tag we created by visiting http://www.KnoxCountyOhio.com.  You can select the community section so that you can view homes by community and I used homes for sale at the Apple Valley Lake as an example and you can also view Knox County Ohio Homes with Acreage and Larger Lots or maybe you are just interested in our Newest Knox County Ohio Real Estate Listings.  Knox County Ohio Bank owned homes is another example of how you can use listing tags to organize our listings for buyers who are just looking for Bank Owned listings.  The list of potential customized tags is endless and if you want to really see some examples hold your mouse over the button button in my tool bar and more than a dozen tag options will appear.

Sam,  I like you idea!  You are correct, we do everything by price.  This is a much better way of promoting other features of our properties.  Thank you!

John - Thanks and I hope it works great for you!

Frances - Thank!  Once you get it setup there are so many places you can copy and paste those custom URLs which drive traffic instead of to just one home to entire groups of homes.  Good luck!

We have experienced a huge increase in the number of buyer inquires once we implemented the new tag based feature on our KnoxCountyOhio.com website.

I don't really know how website work. When I talk to my google geeks, it sounds so complected.

This sounds very interesting to me, and I will have to dig deeper into what this means and how it works. I am always up for anything that could potentially triple my real estate website traffic.
