I had the honor of being interviewed by Max Little of Mesquite Local News in the Real Estate Agent Spotlight. Max titled the story 'Local Realtor Makes Good Use of the Internet.' And I certainly do!
In his article in the Mesquite Local Online News, he talked about my internet websites that I use to promote Mesquite NV and my real estate business - this Active Rain blog and my website. Max mentioned my story on the Ence Select Home Series and my articles about Sun City Mesquite and sales promotions.
I link to the Mesquite Local News Online on my website and in my Relocation Blog Post on Active Rain. That Relocation article has already had over 1600 hits on it and I get calls from buyers two or three times a week. I have been getting calls from California, Wyoming, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Utah and even Canada.
Many of the buyers who I have helped to buy a new home in Mesquite, Nv are from out of the area. Some of the build times have been as long as 8 months. As their buyer representative, I not only help negotiate the sale, help choose their lot and advise them on upgrades, but I also monitor the construction process and keep them posted with photos and emails on the progress and time frame. I put on my 'quality control hat' and make sure the home is being built to their specifications with their upgrade choices.
As an out of area buyer's home is near completion, it is time for me to get competitive bids on landscaping and anything else that doesn't come with their new home. And get in touch with all of the utility companies to be set up on closing day. If they need a place to stay for a few days or longer while their home is being built, I arrange that, too.
I get quite a few calls from people just wondering about Mesquite NV, who call on articles they have read on this Active Rain blog and many of the other internet sites that I use. They find me on the internet from all over the country and Canada and many just want information on buying in Mesquite. They may plan a trip here in a month or a year, I send them a package of local info - just to give them a head start on learning all about Mesquite.
When I get a new listing, I blog about the neighborhood and the home for sale. It is very effective advertising for the seller to give his property much more internet presence than just MLS, Realtor.com and other generic websites. At least 84 % of buyers start their search for a home on the internet.
I want those buyers to find me!
