Keeping Up In The Real Estate Industry

Searching for your next home has never become so easy with the use of the Internet. But does it stop there? An article on Commercial Appeal talks about how a woman found her and her husband a house online, and how her online experience led her to that particular agent. Stuck at home in bed with her husband in Iraq, Darleen Cervasio relied on interactive sites that featured home prices, photos and virtual tours. Today online, many listings that do not display these details are often ignored by consumers. Successful agents understand that in a Web 2.0 world, technology is very important. Real estate agents need to give online users an open house experience on the web to draw buyers in and set their properties apart from others. Many real estate agents today are turning to the social media trend to reach out to prospects. Utilizing social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, niche networks and blogs, agents are able to take technology and thus communication to another level. Interested buyers are no longer looking for authoritative figures, but also personable real estate agents to help find their next home. Agents are able to use these networks to build relationships with current and potential clients in a pull-oriented marketing method.
