Real Estate Websites

We live in a time where it is a necessity to have a website if you are a real estate professional. Approximately 80% of all home buyers start their search on the Internet. That means that if your not using the Internet to try and get new clients your only marketing 20% of the market. The biggest problem with that is most agents still do not have websites or at least not effective ones. So if you are only marketing the 20% of the market you are competing with far too many other agents.
If you do not currently have a website or you do not feel that your website is giving you the results you want, it is time to do something about it! Brokers- if you and your agents do not have an effective web presence, Get One! Look for ways to educate your agents about using the Internet as an effective tool to generate business. The more tools that you give them, the more successful they will be. The more successful they are, the more successful you will be.
Agents- if your broker does not educate you about the Internet and does not provide any of the tools that it has to offer, you need to talk to them. Utilizing the web is too crucial to the way real estate is being done these days. If they will not listen to you, it's time to move on. For a long time I worked for a broker who did not provide me with tools or education. I always thought it was okay because it was my responsibility to educate myself. After all, I am an independent contractor, right? Well, the reality is this, there are brokers out there that provide tools and education to their agents. It makes a world of difference.
