If and only if your real estate consultant is telling you that Internet advertising is the most powerful way to sell your home should you listen to him or her. He or she wouldn’t be wrong if they say that signs, flyers, open houses, word of mouth and prayer work also, but the important thing is that your home is in front of buyers’ eyes.
Where are buyers’ eyes? On the Internet.
Home buyers are much more savvy than they were 10 years ago. The way that they search for a home and/or a real estate professional is both much more complicated and much more simple all at the same time. It is more complicated in that many buyers know that they have much of the control when shopping for homes and leverage both market conditions and available resources to their advantage. It is more simple than ever in that most home shopping is done by the buyer on the internet. A buyer can see thousands of homes from the comfort of their living room in a matter of hours as opposed to spending weekends and evenings scouring neighborhoods and bumping in to grumpy home owners.
On a similar note, BigDBlog is reminded that the corporate For Sale By Owner market is often misleading as far as its offerings for Internet “advertising.” Owners selling their own homes and taking the risks associated with it need as much exposure to buyers as possible. Many FSBO programs simply sell ad space on thier FSBO web sites. Thes sites are almost exclusively visited by other sellers and rarely shopped by active buyers.
Regardless of who is selling the home, remember that Internet advertising directly to active home buyers is the most important aspect of selling a home in the current market.
