Internet Marketing for Homes in Atlanta, GA
Internet Marketing and its Role in Today's Real Estate Industry
An agent without a web presence to effectively market your home, or without MLS listings available for you to search homes, is like a car dealership without an inventory.
Consider this when making one of the largest financial decisions you'll ever make, and never accept less representation than you deserve.
When selling your home, beware of "old school" selling techniques. Statistics show that print media, open houses and newspaper ads are a "thing of the past." If you're reading this now, here is your proof. Just take a look at Google. Look at all of the agents competing for the "coveted" first 2 pages.
Knowing that, do you want an "experienced" listing agent to list your home in this buyers market? Be careful! It doesn't matter how long someone has been selling Real Estate if they're selling the same way they did 20 years ago.
Any Real Estate agent can list your home in the MLS, but if more than 80% of home buyers find their next home and agent on the internet, shouldn't the REALTOR® that's listing your home be easy to find on the internet too? Besides, who better to list your home than a Realtor who is found by buyers?
Make sure that your listing agent has a good web presence in the county, city and/or neighborhood that your home is in. Get them to show you their keywords that can be used to find them in the search engines, preferably on the first 2 pages of YAHOO, Google & Bing. This is critical!
Your home needs internet marketing and exposure to reach the large numbers of internet savvy buyers & sellers now surfing the web from the privacy of their homes, just like you.
That being said, internet marketing and exposure are only part of the battle. Your home needs to be appealing and attractive to all who see it on the web, and in person. With today's inventory of listed homes, you're competing with a lot of sellers. So, "make it count" on day one.
Most potential buyers cannot see past the cosmetic imperfections of a home. They will also be less likely to offer on a home that is over-priced, due to the inability to obtain financing. A bank will order an appraisal, and will no longer adjust the price to meet the seller's wants or needs. The appraisers value is "golden." So, before moving forward, read about home staging and pricing to sell before listing your home.
