Over time, buyers’ use of the
Internet to search for homes has
increased, rising from 71% in
2003 to 90% in 2009. Even
more importantly, the share of
buyers who reported using the
Internet frequently to search for a
home has risen from 41% in 2003 to 76% in 2009.
I have the information
I intend to sell your home for the maximum price in the minimum amount
of time.
To a certain extent, achieving that goal is a numbers game. We need to
create a richly detailed, spectacular listing for your home, and then we
need to put it in front of as many potential buyers as we possibly can.
Did you know that, as of 2009, nine out of every ten home buyers used
the web to find their new home? In 2010, the percentage is predicted to
increase even further.
The number of buyers who use the internet to find their next home is
increasing daily. The traffic to online real estate marketplaces is skyrocketing.
The power of the web is growing. And I have been able to
successfully establish myself online so that I am able to tap in to this
steady stream of real estate shoppers.
I have the network
The web is now by far the most important advertising medium for real
estate, and that’s becoming truer every day. Fortunately, I’ve managed
to stay ahead of this trend, and have been continuously working to increase
my web presence so that I can push listings to more places very
quickly, putting properties in front of online buyers very effectively.
I subscribe to Point2 Agent, a web service that connects real estate professionals
with one another and with the most important real estate advertisers
on the web. This service allows me to advertise your listing on
my website, on many other local real estate websites, and on some of the
busiest real estate marketplaces on the internet.
Thanks to this listing service, and to my numerous contacts, you will see
that I belong to a powerful online network that can make a substantial
difference in the exposure your property receives.
The Point2 Agent network includes:
Over 170,000
websites in the US
Over 20,000
websites in Canada
Over 10,000 other
websites in 85 countries
I have the search advantage
The software that I use will allow me to create your listing in such a way
that it is more likely to be found in online searches. This is thanks to a few key components.
Neighborhoods – instead of creating listings according to awkward ‘selling areas,’ each of my listings is categorized by its familiar neighborhood name. Why is
this important? Simple – buyers don’t type “Area 7B, Houston, Texas” into search engines like Google. Instead, it is estimated that over 60% of all real estate searches have a neighborhood element such as “homes for sale in Kingwood, Houston.” Because I will categorize your listing accordingly, it will have a better chance of being found via these crucial searches.
Multiple Search Platforms – not only will I help your listing attract attention via “natural search” in search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN, I will also place your listing in real estate-specific search sites such as Point2 Homes, Oodle, Trulia and Google Base. In all, I have access to up to 35 distinct listing marketplaces where your listing can be displayed.
Better Information – because I try to add as many high-quality photographs and as much richly detailed information to your property listing as possible, it will have a significantly better chance of attracting more buyers. In fact, 86% of homebuyers
value pictures as the most important feature of a listing advertisement.
I build better listings
Better listings. What’s the big deal? Well, it’s simple – many independent
studies show that better listings with more photos attract more
visitors, they keep buyers looking at your home longer, and they generate
more quality buyer leads.
More photos. I understand the power of quality photographs, and will
include as many photos as possible to help attract attention to your listing.
More information. Buyers want information. That’s only natural –
they’re trying to make an informed decision about a major purchase. So
instead of withholding information about your property, I deliver as much
information as possible. Not only does this make your listing easier to
find online, and not only does it help ensure that inquiries about your
property are serious ones . . . it can also attract more attention from the
buyers who find it.
More personality. No one knows your home better than you do. That’s
why, if you’re interested, I am able to set up a special area of your listing
where you can add your own comments. You can even log in via your own
password and access statistics on the visitors your listing is attracting.
More power. My listings always include Google mapping with satellite
imagery, virtual tours, and many other features to showcase your property
at the highest level of professionalism and technological elegance.
I turn more browsers into buyers
Today’s buyers expect lightning-fast responses to their emails and inquiries,
they expect regular updates, and they expect an impressive,
feature-rich website. Not only is my website designed to attract and
engage today’s buyers, it also includes numerous behind-the-scenes
software elements that will help me to sell your home.
My network is set up to enable buyers to register their preferences and receive listings via email. That means that I may already have dozens of waiting buyers who are looking for the type of property you are offering. As soon as I have completed work on your listing, it will be instantly emailed to these matched buyers.
My website has the ability to send a notification directly to my cell phone as a text message if a prospect is interested in your property and inquiring about it. This means that I am able to respond with incredible speed to important potential buyers.
My software automatically places potential buyers in a communication program so that I am sure to maintain friendly contact with them, encouraging more repeat visits to my website – and more repeat viewings of your listing.
I put your listings everywhere
Not only will your listing get serious advertising on my website and on
the websites of all of my network partners . . . I will also push it out all
over the web, to the busiest real estate marketplaces online . . .
I have the advantages
I’ve researched and subscribed to some of the most effective real estate
technology available. This technology is just one of the important tools
that allow me to present your property as effectively as possible, and to
have it discovered by as many potential buyers as possible.
In modern markets, having a technological edge can make a dramatic
impact. I have that edge, and I am looking forward to using it to your
advantage. proven results have a way of changing the game
