Marketing Your Listings Online
I’m always being which websites I think are the best for market listings to get the best exposure.
There are an endless list of websites but from my experience and using Google Analytics for tracking many of my own clients I always suggest the following MUSTS.
1. http://www.craigslist.org
2. http://www.eastbayrealestatedirectory.com
3. http://www.postlets.com
4. http://www.zillow.com
5. http://www.backpage.com
6. http://www.trulia.com
These sites have proven to be the top ranking referring web sites.
Some real estate offices already feed their listings to sites such as Zillow and Trulia but I would suggest you joining these sites yourself. By doing this you can create your own profile, customize your listing and link to your own website, virtual tour or single property website.
Have I forgotten any?
I’d also be curious to hear what you think about advertising in newspapers. Is it still a must for you? Do you think sites such as Craigslist have replaced the newspapers?
