Buyers and Sellers are changing. They are getting their information on real estate faster and easier than ever before. Most buyers will now come into a possible buying situation knowing as much about the home as the Realtor. Thanks to the web and the recent explosion of real estate websites, the buyer/seller is armed but not at all dangerous.
The more a customer knows about a listing the more likely they are to buy. Why would you research something you weren’t interested in?
With the new so called “Cyber Space War” going on in the real estate web industry the buyers and sellers loaded with information. Many ask, why is their any need for a Real Estate agent? Well this blog isn’t here to discuss the need for any one position but a lot goes without saying. Maybe a better question would be why would you buy a house without looking at it first?
That is where the human element comes into play. The real estate agents are the ones that bring the potential buyer on a tour of the house. Basically this will allow the buyer to take a test drive of the home and get a much greater understanding of the entire process and situation than they ever could by simply viewing a home online. The bottom line is, having a great real estate website designed or one that is loaded with bells and whistles will always help but it is not really taking the human element out of the whole process and a great agent is still needed.
Anyone involved in sales or service though will tell you the more tools you have in your toolbox the better. That is exactly what having a real estate website is. You can bring in more buyers and sellers by having proper exposure on the internet. The better your real estate website looks and functions, the more likely people are to contact you.
A website is a digital portrayal of your professionalism so it should have a strong look and feel as well. The only way to do that is to have a professional looking customized real estate website designed. Sure you can put one up yourself with any do it yourself program, and use the templates that go with it. But keep in mind that every other agent trying to save a little cash will have a similar looking site. Another cheap alternative is to have a “CMS” site setup which will result in a very flat and boring look and feel.
Just take a waltz around google or yahoo on real estate web sites. You will be able to tell right away those that have the professional look and those that look like garbage.
