Do You Really Need a Real Estate Website

2009 January 9

When asking yourself if you need a website, consider these facts:

  • 87% of all home buyers, and 94% of buyers aged 25 to 44, used the internet to search for homes.
  • For 1/3 of home buyers, the first step in the home buying process is looking online for properties.
  • The typical home buyer searches for 10 weeks, and views 10 properties.
  • 90% of sellers report their home was listed or advertised on the internet.

Will you be found by those 87%-94%?

You may think that because your office has a website it is enough.
Well, that’s definitely a start -but think about your office website… does it allow you to stand out from the other agents on the site?

Having your own website not only allows you to showcase yourself but your listings, your knowledge of the market and the community. By including the MLS/IDX you can also provide services such as: allowing visitors to searching the MLS directly from your website, email listing updates (all email updates are directed back to your website for more information), mortgage calculator, CMA form and many other customized features.
