As realtors, developers and estate agents fail to make thier own websites a success its time for savvy webmaters to step in . I present marketing tips that will help any determined webmaster a success in real estate internet marketing
It's a fact that the majority of real estate buyers use the internet to find a new home. Investors in search of overseas property by its very nature will have to use the internet to find their next overseas investment property. It's then no surprise that the internet is a great place to promote real estate. It is also very difficult place to shine amongst hundreds and thousands of real estate related websites. The average realtor, estate agent or property developer does not have the time or inclination to promote a website seriously.
This is where webmasters with a bit of determination steps in. So is it possible to run a popular real estate website when your competitors are multi national companies with huge budgets. The answer is a resounding YES! The internet is a great leveller and a determined webmaster can make it big on the net.
Simple marketing strategies that may include online press releases, email newsletters and distribution of free articles can bring traffic and more importantly links to your website. Capture a keyword that your local realtor may like and you have the possibility of capturing their business.
Pay per click marketing although expensive can be used very effectively when marketing a single home or development. The idea is that your advert is so specific that only the people you want to click on it do. Description: 5 bedroom house in Orlando Florida for $180,000 is the sort of advert I am talking about.
Getting people to your website is only half of the battle .Once they get there; you need to get them interested in the real estate you offer right now or in the future. Property email alerts are essential. This will capture those who are actively seeking a new property.
