Real Estate One is well known for being the Top Real Estate Company and Advertiser in Michigan! Linda Rea is well known for making sure she provides you with service above and beyond the marketing it takes to sell your home, and this reputation provides her with new listings to match her buyers!
Both Real Estate One and The Linda Rea Team, have predicated the future “is now”. This promises to be one of the most exciting years in real estate, and by using the internet and related technologies The Linda Rea Team will attract and capture new leads, customers, and sales.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), a whopping 74 percent of consumers now begin their home searches on line. This reality points to an unavoidable fact:
If you DON’T provide Internet consumers with the information they need, where and when they want it, they’ll simply go to someone who will – and quite possibility choose that person to help them buy or sell their home. And their next. And next.
So what, exactly, are consumers looking for online? Simply put, information that will help them quickly narrow their searches and lead them to a real estate professional who can provide the person-to-person contact and industry insight that remains – and will always remain – the heart of our business.
They want property information, neighborhood information, and rich real estate content that helps them better understand the process involved in buying or selling their home. And yes, they are indeed shopping for a smart, savvy agent that uses the Internet.
Many agents haven’t changed their business practices in 10 years…to their own detriment. They still operate from the “30-day” mentality that says they should move on if a consumer isn’t ready to buy or sell a home within a month. But this, too, goes against reality: research has found that online consumers spend anywhere from one to four years thinking about buying or selling, and then rely heavily on the Internet during their early stages. Not surprisingly, agents and brokers who provide online consumers with the information they need throughout their search have a distinct advantage of winning their business.
What’s the bottom line?
For years to come, that same technology will allow us to market ourselves – and to enjoy new levels of customer service and profits – in ways we would never have imagined were possible.
We at Real Estate One and The Linda Rea Team have certainly stayed connected with all that technology has to offer. Consumers can connect with us immediately and they know we will respond quickly to provide the information they request.
