A Better Approach to Real Estate Marketing
In a tough economy and an even tougher real estate market, it is unwise to invest in a real estate web site with all the bells and whistles when you don't know if it's going to produce leads. It is far better to find a cheap hosting solution and invest in SEO. It is Google for the most part which will create leads for you. Google has the dominating share of web searches including on homes and condos for sale searches.

Generate Real Estate Leads
The most important factors in referals and leads are
1. Web site traffic - homebuyers looking for homes
2. Home Listings - homes for homebuyers to view
Most home searching in Phoenix is done online, and most search via Google. Many agents use craigslist and Google Adwords to generate visits however unless your site has listings to view, people won't stay long. Agents complain that these sources are a waste of time. Online, people are efficient with their time. They visit the top ranked sites on Google , sites that have lots of listings. Top ranking agents know that if they get the top ranking and enrich their site, that these visitors will use their site, stay there, and even return later. Over several months, that's the way to generate real estate leads.
The top ranking real estate sites are gobbling up more of the available home searching market. They're learning better about what home buyers want and what gets visitors to make contact with them. Of course, it's often a shotgun strategy. With thousands of visitors comes a certain portion of leads.
Don't discount the importance of good website content. Your content should have some substance and be useful. Most of the material you see on real estate sites is empty promotional talk that you'd see in door to door flyers. It's the same on 95% of all realty sites. Your site needs to be unique and valuable. Your site is key to your own brand image and unique value proposition.
Building great content is hard work and that is why agents hire us to create it. A hard working agent has no time for website development and those that do have some time, find they don't understand search engine indexing well enough. It's better to leave it to an experienced real estate SEO. You would sticking to your core competencies and not having to bother with the details of search engine rankings which can be tedious. That tedium can distract you and drain your energy. As an agent, you need to be at your best when meeting clients and being sensitive to their needs and emotional preferences.
