If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it 1000 times - if you want to boost your real estate business, make sure you have a STRONG presence on the Internet. As much as old-school agents may want to deny it, the majority of your prospective clients are going online to get real estate information nowadays.

The question is, are they finding YOU when they do it? Or is it your competitor that catches their eye? Luckily, more and more agents ARE getting on the web and attempting to make themselves known on the ‘Net…but we’ve still got a ways to go.

We get it, you’re a real estate agent, not a web designer, nor an Internet marketer. But just because you don’t have experience with something, doesn’t mean you can’t learn, especially with all the resources on the web. We found a great online guide to real estate marketing made easy that is perfect for beginners or those slightly more advanced. Read over it, then compare your site to some of the common problems listed - if you do still have a ton of Internet marketing “no-nos” it’s time to make some changes.

Sorry people, as exciting as frames, moving text and ridiculously flashy graphics are, they’re just NOT user OR search engine friendly. And if you want to be adding hundreds or thousands of new leads to your pipeline year after year, you need to make sure it is!
