The solution is, like everything else, simple- Hire a Real
Estate Agent who can harness the power of the internet and
put it to work for you.
So, how do you find an agent who has the online expertise to market your
property? How do you find a Realtor who has made a commitment to keep up
with all of the new developments in the world of online real estate?
Of course, I'd recommend me. I am constantly watching for the latest real
estate website development or online innovation. I can put together a custom
marketing plan that will take advantage of the best the internet has to offer. You
can trust in me to provide maximum online exposure for your house or condo.
When interviewing any agent, I'd recommend asking the following set of
questions to insure that he or she is internet-savvy and will be able to give your
property that all-important maximum online exposure. The answers to these
questions are critical for determining how much extra money you might pocket
at the closing of your sale. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my
answers to these questions, and how they may help you achieve the best result
in the sale of your property.

ONLINE MARKETING QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR REALTOR
BEFORE LISTING YOUR HOUSE
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
1) Do you have your own website, and do you feature
your listings on it?
2) How is my property advertised on your agency
website? Is the site user-friendly (easy to search and
find your property) and does it provide a quick and
painless way for prospective buyers to reach you?
3) Do you use Realtor.com enhanced listings, with extra
photos, showcase highlights, an expanded description,
and more contact options, or do you use the basic
listing, with only one photo, a few bullet points, and the
brokerage contact phone number?
4) Do you have a virtual tour available? Does it feature
wide angle panoramic shots to really give a buyer a
feel for the property?
5) What do you think of Zillow? Do you use it to advertise
your listings?
6) Are you familiar with Craig's List and Backpage and
do you post listings there? If you do, do you do
anything special to make your posting stand out
among all the others?
7) Can you let me know on a regular basis how many
visitors are checking out my house in all the different
places online?
8) Do you respond quickly to email leads that come in on
your listings? (You can try this out yourself- email the
agent with a question on one of his or her listings and
see how long it takes for them to get back to you).
9) Do you make maximum use of the Multiple Listing
Service by posting disclosures, maps, and property
flyers online, as well as using as many property photos
as possible?
10)Are you familiar with the following important real estate
advertising sites and do you use them in your online
marketing campaign? LiveDeal, Oodle, Edgeio,
Propsmart, vast, Trulia, GoogleBase, HomeSeekers,
and Postlets ?
11) When would it make sense to tap into the power of
YouTube or Ebay to advertise one of your listings?
