I would ensure their first step was joining my social network communities.
#BEST REALTOR WEBSITES 2011 PLUS#
By doing all of the above plus partnering with a local social media consultant, trainer or agency I would teach free or low cost social media classes. I would build a community by helping others achieve their goals.ĥ. I would help them build an online presence by starting with a guest post on my blog. I would invite them to my Twitter page, Facebook page and blog. I would post their videos on my YouTube channel and feed them to my blog. I would give them the opportunity to shine. I would give kudos to the local businesses. I would take the flip video camera every where I went. I would become the travelling realtor reporter. Bottom line, when you thought of a realtor with a video camera in hand you would think of me.Ĥ. I would take a flip video camera everywhere I went. I would be the social realtor video queen. I would focus on getting your house listed with all social media bells and whistles within a short number of days.ģ. Or how about the fastest realtor in the state. The one who shows you the huge spider web in the garage or the hole in the back of the closet. I would come up with a theme and rock it out! Maybe the most honest realtor on the planet. When someone thought of a realtor in my community my goal would be they would think of ME!Ģ. I would become the MOST social savvy realtor within my sales area. So what would I do if I were a realtor? Here goes…ġ. Provide basic descriptions, good photos and something that inspires me to call you, look at the house or take some kind of action. None were leveraging social media or even invited me in a way that was noticeable to join their social platforms.Ĭome on folks this is 2011! You can take a decent photo or even video with your iPhone or flip camera! Take the time to help your client (the home owner) sell their home.Only one site included links to content about the community.No content of real value for me, their audience and prospective buyer.No real call to action on most realtor and leasing sites.Very few included any selling features such as if the home has a sunroom, den or pool.Basic descriptions didn't exist on many listings.They looked like they were taken by a 2nd grader riding a skateboard in the dark. Photos did not highlight the positive benefits of the house.90% of the listings had no more than one photo.Many of the realtor profile photos look like they were taken in the 70's.What I found during my search left much to be desired. to research the community, schools and of course the homes. I would bet most people who are buying in this neighborhood have a computer, a smartphone and probably at minimum leverage Google and other realtor sites such as, Trulia etc. An area where most residents are quite affluent. We are searching in a nice neighborhood in Orlando, Fl. Let me tell you I am not searching in a po-dunk community. Today I started to look at options for both our residential home and office. We are in the process of a potential in State move of both our office and home. The question is are realtors really doing all they can to help sell the homes? I think overall the answer is no.

However, there are still some people buying and renting homes, townhomes, apartments, condos and office space. I know the economy stinks, there is a surplus of foreclosures. I have heard many state they can't sell or rent the homes.

So you hear the stories of the broke realtors.
