Our Website Advantage

This may sound hard to believe, but hardly a day goes by when we do not receive a compliment about this website and how much people appreciate what we do.  It may be from someone locally, nationally, or even from another country.  We hear it from sellers.  They tell us they have asked their agents why they can't do what we do on their homes.  We receive compliments from buyers telling us how much they appreciate our detailed descriptions, floor plans, and extensive photography on every home.  We even hear from other Realtors asking us who does our site for us.  We have been told countless times by countless individuals that we have the finest real estate website they have seen ... anywhere!  And we agree!

You might also be interested to know this website drives at least as much business to our site as the MLS and Realtor.com, and maybe even more.  For every person who says they found us through Realtor.com or the MLS, there is another who said they just stumbled onto our site when they were doing a search for the cities in which we specialize and have purchased our dot com domain names.   We quite often receive calls from agents telling us their clients found one of our listings themselves on our site and they want to take a look at it.  Many of those times the homes had not been added to the MLS or Realtor.com.  This tells us our hard work in attracting buyers outside of the MLS and Realtor.com is working.  This all pays off for our sellers.

Of course, we never get tired of hearing the compliments because it validates what  we are doing ...  which is raising the bar when it comes to professionally marketing homes.  But I can tell you first hand, this site requires a tremendous amount of time, work, research, and attention to detail by others and myself making sure everything is accurate and current. 

You might notice we update our "homes on market" data weekly on our site.  You will always see the date when that information was posted.   Look at the other websites out there.  If the agents do provide some kind of market information, see if there is a date associated with it.  If not, the information has probably been sitting there unchanged for months.  And in a fast moving market like we have, old information is of no no use to anyone, buyers or sellers alike. 

If you are interested, you can even see how many hits each home on our website is receiving on a daily basis.  Just look at the very bottom of the first page on every one of our listings and you will see a hit counter.  Once that hit counter is placed on our site and set at zero, we will never touch it again. 

Nothing happens on its own, whether it is selling a home or keeping a website current and accurate.  We have to make it happen.  We are continually updating information on our homes, on the cities in which we specialize, on the schools, the marketing statistics, etc.  I cannot remember the last day we did not make at least one addition to our site, and most days we are on 4-5 times keeping everything fresh and updated.  We never know how or when the next buyer or seller is going to find us, so we always want our site and our homes to be at their best.  I have often said, the only thing worse than not having a website at all is a stale website.

You have probably seen hundreds of real estate websites.  With the exception of new listings, those websites might not have changed in year.  The home presentations look exactly the same ... maybe 9 or 10 tiny pictures, a virtual tour, a brief description of the home, and the room sizes.  That's it.  It might take their webmaster 10 minutes to pop all of that information into their stamped out template.  Sellers deserve more than that.

On the other side of the spectrum, it takes us about 20 HOURS to put together one complete marketing presentation for a home on our website.  And keep this in mind ... regardless of the price, we market all of our homes with the same amount of pride and effort.  We don't have different levels of service based on the price of the home. 

One last note ... we are not only selling homes on our site, we are selling these areas.  This is a one-stop source for anyone wanting to learn about these cities.  From the current number of homes on the market by price point, to taxes or water costs, and even schools, our site is always updated with the most current information.  We know without question that today's professionals are looking on their own for homes on the Internet.  They have high speed Internet access at the office, home, or both and when they get the urge, they can surf the entire web from the comfort of their home.  We want to be ready for them when they find us, and if the are looking in this area, they will!  Whether it's the MLS, Realtor.com, our many city domain names, our multitude of signs on listed properties, or even Google ... if people can't find our website, they aren't looking.  And once people find our site, they continue to come back.  This is all what I mean by our website advantage!
