The Internet is Important in Home Search Process
Did you know that the Internet is a critical information source among buyers looking for a home? The most recent survey by the U.S. National Association of Realtors found that buyers use a variety of resources in searching for a home: 87% use the Internet, 85% use a real estate agent, 62% rely on yard signs, 48% attend open houses and 47% consult print ads. The vast majority starts the search process online, and then works with an agent to narrow the search, select and view properties, and negotiate the transaction. If you want your listing to be seen early and often, by the greatest number of buyers, choose a listing agent with a well-designed, high-ranking web site.
