Is your property listed on at least 10 websites?

Did you know that consumers are five times more likely to buy a home found online versus in a newspaper? In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors, “80 percent of home searchers conduct research on the Internet.” It is for this reason that I focus much of my marketing attention on the internet. When I list a property for sale, I create an individual website specific to that property. It describes everything about the listing, including views, room dimensions and the like. It also posts the virtual tour, digital photography, disclosures, floor plans and site plans. We name the site after the address of the property (i.e. 1101bogeylane.com) so that it is easy to find. In addition to the individual site, my listings also appear on some of the following 10 sites:
1. www.longboatrealestate.com
2. www.coldwellbanker.com
3. www.floridamoves.com
4. www.google.com
5. www.trulia.com
6. www.yahoo.com
7. www.craigslist.com
8. www.newyorktimes.com
9. www.homefeedback.com
10. www.coldwellbankerpreviews.com
