The internet is revolutionizing how homes are being bought and sold. Technically adept people shop for homes just like they shop for everything else: By going to the internet first, to see what’s out there. That gives a huge advantage to sellers who work with tech savvy Realtors like myself.
Every Realtor will give you a sign in your front yard and a lockbox. Throw in an MLS listing, of course, since he knows that your home is most likely to be sold by a buyer’s agent. Most Realtors will also prepare a flyer for the home, and, if you’re lucky, it might even be attractive and informative. They’ll take a few pictures, but not near enough. And the unanswered question is: Will any of this be available to internet users shopping from home?
Did you know at least 80% of Wisconsin Rapids home buyers start their home search online? Does your Realtor know how to market your home to this new generation of home buyers?
Question: What is the number one goal a buyer has when beginning to search for homes?
Answer: To eliminate your home from consideration.
Everything a buyer does is an attempt to whittle down the number of homes to view. The big ways a buyer will do this are with price, size, and location. Outside of the price not a whole lot you can do…
But after that a buyer starts to nitpick. You’ve watched House Hunters… You know the crazy things buyers will say. My favorite: “Our furniture won’t fit in the ______.” Are you kidding me? They won’t buy a $150,000 home because their $800 worth of table and chairs won’t fit in the dining room?
My job is to make it difficult for a buyer to say ‘No’ to your home.
One way I do this is with a full-blown web site for each one of my listings. Not just a photo and an address, but a full marketing presentation: Digital photos, a printable flyer, neighborhood information, all the listing details, along with every benefit your home offers to buyers, all presented professionally and persuasively. And each listing is promoted in the national home search databases. You can tell by looking at this web site that we know how to sell to internet shoppers. We can sell your home to internet buyers just as well…
Are you ready? Contact me today and we can get together to talk about how I’ll sell your home.
