Woodland Hills California Real Estate - Sellers The Internet at Your Service! When you have a home to sell in Woodland Hills California, it is important to know how your real estate agent is marketing your home. Are you really getting the most Exposure for your home?
For many years, (and when I say "many" I mean since the dawn of "real estate" time) print advertising was the golden ticket ... the only way to sell a home in Woodland Hills California ... or anywhere. The number one venue for advertising was newspaper. But things are changing and news papers are not what they used to be, I don’t know if you saw your news paper lately, I got my news paper 4 days ago and it did not look my news paper, it was a smaller narrower version of my older news paper. The reason is: not too many advertisements for real estate or much of any other.
Well, as we all know, the landscape of the local Real Estate in Woodland Hills California is changing (like the rest of the nation) and with it is the avenues to which we, as real estate agents, choose to advertise the homes that we sell for our clients.
The Internet is now fierce competition in the advertising/marketing arena, "printing advertising is less effective, and is getting even less effective every year.
So, in addition to being expensive, print advertising is also now INEFFECTIVE.
There are 3 Serious Benefits to this paradigm shift in marketing a home for sale:
1.) Over 80% of all home buyers use the Internet as an information source. Advertising your home on-line is advertising your home to where the buyers are.
2.) The Internet is the #2 place where home buyers first saw the home that they wound up purchasing. Newspapers were dead last in this study done by NAR (National Association of Realtors).
3.) Marketing your Home for Sale in the San Fernando Valley, on the Internet, is a wonderful asset for someone looking to sell their California, on the Internet (probably more than most home buyers) to look for and buy their next home.
The Internet is here. It is a wonderful resource. It cannot be ignored.
So, in essence, the Internet has allowed us, as Real Estate agents, to streamline our marketing and advertising budgets and pass these savings onto our seller clients while simultaneously expand our exposure to a wider group of people looking to buy a home in Woodland Hills California. Instead of just one newspaper and a couple of outdated home magazines, the Homes I list can be found on over 50 real estate websites and search engines.
Our sellers get more exposure for their home to wider buyer’s pools all over the world.
So, when you are interviewing a Real Estate agent to SELL your home, keep this in mind. Ask them how they plan to market your home and make sure that the agent you choose understands how to get YOU the most exposure for your home.
