How We Market Your Home Online
Let’s cut through the hype you may be seeing as regards Internet marketing of Chattanoooga real estate. Sure, every Chattanooga REALTOR worth their salt has a website. And, my website is better than most in presenting my sellers listings to showcase them to their greatest potential. I’m really good at all of that SEO, Search Engine Optimization, stuff. That’s the stuff I do on my site to get as high in search engine results as possible to get the most in search engine visitor traffic.
However, hyping up this SEO and site traffic is really ignoring the reality of the Internet and any single website’s visibility; unless you’re Yahoo or Google. There is no single real estate website that’s likely to enjoy more than a single digit percentage of searches performed by buyers looking for local properties. That’s because there are hundreds or thousands of real estate sites and they’re all fighting for searchers, but these searchers are also using a half dozen search engines or other resources to locate real estate in our area.
Why tell you this? I want you to learn about the power of “syndication,” and why I spend significant resources, time and effort in syndicating your listing information to a great many real estate websites much larger and more heavily visited than any local real estate websites. I have systems in place to have your listing on dozens of websites, including Yahoo, Trulia, Zillow, Realtor.com, and others, and within hours of your listing going into the Chattanooga MLS®.
So, although I’m getting great search engine exposure, I’m not relying on it to be my only resource to sell your home through online marketing. Each of those sites to which I syndicate your listing will have links back to the original and complete listing at my website. It’s there that I shine in marketing your Chattanoooga real estate property once I’ve attracted visitors from these other sites.
I take a full and expert suite of professional quality images of your home. These images will showcase your property and are critical to Internet marketing. Surveys prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that buyers value high quality images more than any other feature of real estate listings.
HD Video tours when appropriate are created for your property. Some properties are better marketed with still photographs, others with a slide show of stills, and some with a video and voice–over. I’ll work with you to produce the very best marketing approach for your property.
Thorough professionally written text descriptions and very thorough Chattanooga MLS® information fields to bring every facet of your property to the prospective buyer.
Once a buyer gets to my site from these many conduits, I don’t just let them look and leave. I offer showings and other special information about the market and your property in exchange for their contact information. If I can get into direct contact with them, it’s going to increase my chances of selling your property to them.
We create Single Property Websites for all of our listings. This site is what we use to generate traffic to your homes online profile and to generate social media ads for your home. We are one of the few in the Chattanooga area that are using this technology to sell homes faster.
