Comment on Serving Different Types of Real Estate Searchers by Ed Kohler

Aaron, that’s a good point for another post. I’ll consider it. For now, the “what’s my home worth?” angle is certainly enticing to sellers. And, since the majority of the real estate market already owns a home, the buy side is often what leads to the sell side. That’s not always the case, but it’s often the motivation to buy that leads to the need to sell.

Notice how you didn’t mention sellers specifically? Most real estate web sites are very one-sided… the buy side is what drives the most activity.

Funny thing though… in a transaction there has to be both a buy and a sell? How do we better reach out to the sellers of the world? Wish I had an answer for that.

Thanks for the plug…many offices spent many years prior to the web promoting their phone number so it just seemed like something to do to promote it online…it is quite remarkable when we check our search terms that get people to our site…how many variations of our phone number are there.
If search engines are replacing the yellow pages…dont forget your phone is still a very important tool…make sure the public can find your number !
