The way real estate is bought and sold has changed dramatically over the past ten years, yet many REALTORS have failed to embrace the new tools and technologies available to them. More and more, real estate buyers are looking to the internet to obtain information about area homes and land for sale. Since the Verde Valley and Sedona real estate market heavily depends on those who are retiring or relocating to the area, it is absolutely crucial to your success as a seller to have an excellent presence on the web. Your property needs to be on a multitude of National and local websites, and it also must look good once it is there! Nothing will make a real estate buyer leave an on-line listing quicker than poor quality, dark or blurry photos. Same goes for slow loading photos or virtual tours. As an amateur photographer and a former student of computer programming, I am able to offer my clients unparalleled internet marketing for their home or land in Sedona or the Verde Valley. Ask agents you are interviewing a few general questions about their internet marketing plan…. First, do they have a website- not just the company website, but their own? Do they know the names of the 4 most heavily trafficked real estate websites and are they advertising on them? Specifically, what national sites do they put their listings on? How many sites do they put their listings on? What makes a buyer more likely to click on an on-line listing? If he or she does not have clear, concise answers to these questions, there is a good chance they are not going to have the capacity to market your home on-line in a professional manner. These days, if you are not on-line, your not for sale! Please see our current listing inventory to see what a difference good photography can make in establishing your on-line presence.
