Does Your Real Estate Agent Have A Good Website?

Does Your Real Estate Agent Have A Good Website?

The internet has been around for quite some time now, so you may be surprised to know that there are still many businesses out there that don’t have a website.

Somewhere between 80% and 90% of potential buyers use the internet as part of their home search, and I’ve personally found that serious, qualified buyers use the web to do a lot of research before they even contact a real estate agent to schedule a showing.

With internet marketing the rule of thumb is that your listing should be exposed to as many prospective buyers as possible.  A visitor to a real estate website will spend only 3-4 seconds on the site before deciding whether or not to click over to a different website. 

 If the website does not draw a buyer in , doesn’t attract attention, or is difficult to use, that visitor (aka buyer) will go to a different site. 

 The more user-friendly your realtor’s website is, the more visitors or traffic that website will get, which in turn translate to more qualified buyers looking at your Nanaimo home for sale.

When it comes time to list your property for sale, be sure to pretend that you’re a potential buyer for your own house, hop on to the internet, and see which sites have the best website presence in Nanaimo.

Also, be sure that the realtor you decide to list your home with offers internet marketing as part of the overall sales and promotional program for your house for sale.
