Upper Highlands Homes

Every time I visit these homes I'm taken by the view.  It has a view from one end of Nevada to the other, I really mean to say that it is spectacular.  Take a look for yourself:













Sure you can't see much from this photo but once you step into the back yard you will agree, spectacular.  This is a view from another back yard in the same area.  Great view but doesn't compare with the one above.

Real Estate Marketing

Real Estate marketing is not what it was 5 years ago.  Considering 3 out of 4 people are currently online, that's 75%.  The numbers are growing and as a Realtor you would need to part of the new marketing ways.

90% of home buyers searched for homes online in 2009
Realtor.com had over 14 million hits in May of 2010
Real Estate online sies had 175 million hits in May of 2010

The numbers are surprising!

In 2009 less than 33% of Realtors  used social media - in 2010 it increased to over 85%
It is estimated that 65% of Realtors use Facebook
Over 60% believe that the internet is an important tool for lead generation
Perspective clients are online looking for a property
98% of 25 to 50 year olds use the internt to search for a home

The first thing smart sellers are asking or look for is "Your Marketing Plan"
What are you doing to market every listing you have?
Where are you placing your marketing effort?
How often are you marketing your listings?

Sure as a Realtor you suggest to your clients: create curb appeal, stage the home and provide a virtual tour.  What do you do next as the listing agent?  Will this listing be another of hundreds of listings that are lost in the MLS guide?

There are many things to consider for marketing and as a virtual tour provider I can work with you to guide you through the maze.  It takes time and effort to continually market each listing on a regular schedule.  I don't just take the photos, hand them over and walk away.  I work with each agent to market themselves and their listings.
