The Internet has taken over Real Estate advertising and we are on the cutting edge of this dramatic shift in home marketing!
90% of home buyers use the Internet during their buying process and 2 out of 3 home buyers found their home with an Internet search.
Remember the 3 most important things in Real Estate? Location, Location and Location!
Now, the 3 best places to market Homes is: Internet, Internet and Internet!
Every morning, most of the MLS services and Real Estate Boards send out their listing data called IDX (Internet Data Exchange) to hundreds of sites that make these listings searchable by the public.
The Georgia MLS (GAMLS) alone sends out data to over 250 sites and some of them in turn send the data to hundreds more sites including sites that provide services to hundreds of thousands of Real Estate companies and individual agents.
Most newspapers have an MLS search including the Atlanta Journal and Gwinnett Daily Post. Even the LA Times has an MLS search through HomeFinder.com (below) at the top of the 1st page of their Real Estate classified section. So if you want your home listed in the newspaper, IT’S THERE!
The bottom line: Why pay 6% or 7% to sell your home with a major national company when your home will be listed on their MLS search anyway! This gives the for sale by owner (FSBO) the same marketing tools the large companies have at a fraction of the cost.
This is just a sample of the many web sites that you home will be listed on:
RE/MAX.com, Coldwellbanker.com, KW.com (Keller Williams), Century 21.com, Prudential.com,
