Thinking about putting your home on the market? Guess where you will find your buyer? If you are thinking that it's going to come from newspaper ads and open houses, think again! According to the National Association of Realtors statistics, 84% of all home buyers last year used the internet as the biggest part of their home search process. So, if your home does not hit the internet in a big way then you are missing the majority of the buyers out there.
Here is the problem: Most Real Estate agents cannot get your home onto the internet in a way that prospective buyers can find it. Today, the competition on the internet is heavy and unless your agent is extremely web savvy and is investing significant money and resources into internet marketing, then the chances of finding your home on the internet are about the same as finding a needle in a haystack. If your agent is just placing your home on their company web site then yes, your home will be on the internet, but nobody will find it.
If you have an agent with internet systems similar to those employed by the Jansen Team then you can be assured that your home is getting extensive exposure on the internet and that it will be found by many prospective buyers. Your agent also must have web site content that is relative to your area and even more important, Real Estate in your area. Web site visitors find most sites by entering search criteria into Google, Yahoo, etc. and there is a great deal of competition out there. Your agent must also place your home on Craigs List, You Tube and yes, even run ads on Facebook. There is quite a learning curve to doing all of this, and we on the Jansen Team have embraced the latest technologies. The Jansen Team does all of this and even goes further by having leads routed to our cell phones where they are followed up on immediately. If you think that selling a home without this kind of exposure is going to be easy in this market, then think again. National home sale statistics tell the story.
If you are ready to sell, be it a residential home, condo, business, acreage or waterfront property, be assured that our team is prepared to market it effeciently and with today's top technology.
