Blogging For Buyers

Build Your Own Website, Do It In One Day
What You Need To Know To Get Started!

This is what some of the active member of the Online real estate community Active Rain had to say about their businesses, the Internet and embracing technology.   My only hope is to

entice you to read further as I give you the step by step and play by play of how to do this on your own.

I’m 60 and have only been a Realtor since 2004.  I embraced technology because I saw it then as the best way to earn a living in this business.  I got a website, and then another,

which brings me 350+ buyers a month.  I’m elated and in the top 1/4% of all Remax Realtors in Florida!  Technology is where it’s at, kid.

“I am number 3 in the Akron area on Twitter grader! My last 6 sellers found me on Google searches for “Akron Ohio” key words. (Mostly due to high placement after I post on ActiveRain) I post my listings to all the real estate sites available with all the pictures they allow me to post. I did one sale with 90% texting because that’s what my buyer wanted ashe was in classes 2 days. It can be done! “

“I’ve been an agent for over 20 years. My website is 85% of my business…..:”

Fulton
“I remember years ago an office meeting.  Of course, only the usual suspects attended because we were independent contractors–you couldn’t require agents to come–though the promise of FREE food seemed to lure more than normal.

But this fine morning we were taking up the issue of renewing our web site.  To make a long story short, the vote was NO.  So me and my broker decided to pay for it ourselves.  Near 75% of my business came from that site as the years went on.

I’ve since moved to a different part of the country, but that broker has gone on to syndicate and franchise his original lead capture sites, selling them as lead generators for hundreds of agents.

Things change.  Embrace technology as much as you can.  The internet is not a fad that’s going to go away.”

“This is the way I feel on most days when I read agents lamenting their lack of business.  Even if you have “embraced” new technology, are you using it effectively?  I may not be the most techie in the bunch but I am listening to those who are successful and picking the pieces that work for me.  My sales record this year says its working”

John –
“I have to mention one of the top producers in my office, 69 years young, just finished her e-pro course, has a system (secret) that she is operating where she generates leads, via the computer, and it works for her.  You can’t keep up with her, a stack of deal folders in her left hand and her I-phone in her right.  She is there before you arrive in the morning and there after you go home at night, the hardest working agent I have ever been around.  Nothing gets by her and she is relentless in grinding through deals.”

Bruce and Sandy
“We are having our best year ever.  It is all about the internet and putting yourself out there for people to find you.  Embrace change and go for it.  If the business is not filling up your typical basket find a new basket and fill it up. “

Christine and Jennifer
The thing that really amazes me is that people will ask me about how I get so many internet leads and I tell them about my web marketing and that they may need to spend about $50/month they freak out.  However, they have no problem dropping $150 a pop for an open house add that will get no response.

As Albert Einstein said “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

My only hope for you and your real estate business is to inspire you to change with the times and embrace the technology available to you to grow your business.  There is  a lot of help available if you are open to it.  I personally welcome your questions and will post answers on this blog to help you and others who have the same questions.
