As a mortgage broker, it is a service that I provide to Realtors and agents that do not have the knowledge.  It's a great idea.

Yes...I find using a company that has everything done and stays current is best or do it yourself if you have the skills or know someone.  I use a friend that is a great programmer but getting his time is always a challenge and would recommend getting a paid person...hehe.

Dear Cornelius,
   
I'm with you on cross marketing on the web.  Selling a home at present should include a combination of the older style print ads/newsletters coupled with a very strong presence on the internet.  I say this because 25% of people statistically still are not preforming searches online for real estate.

Today, I list the properties I'm marketing on Covenant Realty's featured properties home page.  Though this is a good thing to do, listing your home in our Multiple Listing Service tool for other agents is the most important step an agent can take.  After that, I would encourage you to use an agent who has access to listing your home on all the major websites.  I can market my properties effortlessly to over 35 of the most popular listing search sites including sites like Realtor.com and Zillow. This is called syndication and it is necessary in the present day and age.

Lastly, since I'm a Texas Realtor you know I have no direct commercial interest in responding to your mesage.  I would encourage you to use a younger agent for two reasons.  1. They are probably more in touch with technology and how it can serve their clients.  2. They have more time to specifically focus on marketing of your home in comparison to an agent with many listings. Borrowing an internet term, think of a good Realtor as a spam filter for you.  As I've stated in another post, it's my job to sift through the unqualified buyers, so you only see legitmate offers. Your'e time is not wasted on what you pay a good agent to do.

You are asking the right question here.  Good luck! 

Thanks,

Ryan Kirkpatrick

I only recommend a domain specific website for a property if it is being marketed as Luxury or Exclusive.  In most cases it will not bring in any additional traffic, but it can provide unlimited possibilities for a great presentation and an easy to remember location to be used in marketing materials.

Not only websites, but listings on all major search engines. Because it's more than just a listing website. It's about TRAFFIC to the site. We offer unmatched exposure and search engine optimization.

PLUS featured listings on Realtor.com and exclusive marketing with YouTube.

Our advantage is our exclusive response system. Within SECONDS of an inquiry, our call center contacts the interested buyer and personally and immediately responds to their request. Within this initial call we gather the buyer information and "LIVE TRANSFER" the call directly to the agent.

Our commitment is that everybuyer interested in your home will be contacted within a matter of minutes to ensure your home is sold faster.
