The only way to know a Top Performing Broker or Agent is in the numbers of properties he is able to sell over a period of time and on the other hand, the only way to tell if a Broker or Agents strategy are working is in the number of properties he is able to sell over a given period of time also.
3. Do they have a website?
In this internet age that we are, more and more people are now embracing the internet either as a medium of communication, research or simply to purchase a product. A research has it that 90% of home buyers bought there homes through an agent they met online. The only way you can expose your properties to that large buyer base is to expose your properties online and one of the effective ways to do that is to have a real estate website. So, if the agent you are planning to list your property with doe not have a website, then that means your property won’t be getting the attention of millions of online real estate buyers.
4. Do they have a blog?
Blogging is the only way a real estate agent can effectively take over search engine result pages (Google, Bing and Yahoo) and to portray there self as an expert in that town real estate. In this age, as more and more people are now relying on search engines like Google to search for properties to buy or sell, if your real estate agent is not blogging for his town real estate to take over search engine result pages and showcase your listings to millions of search enngine searchers, then be prepared your listings will stay very long in the market.
