Real Estate Listing Tips

So you take a listing & put it on the MLS. What else could you do to energize your listing campaign?

How about putting your new listing on it's own web address?

So if you are selling 123 Mockingbird Lane, go to a Registrar like Godaddy.com and see if www.123mockingbirdlane.com is available.

Now take a ton of pictures, add some audio even. Heck, if you are savvy enough add some video. Put it up on the web with easy tools like Frontpage. And it adds a pride of ownership and perceived value for your seller. Plus it also serves the dual roll as a great housewarming gift for your buyer who wants all the family to see his/her new home. And of course your logo "powered by Tim O'Keefe real estate" is right there for them to call for their real estate needs.

Total Cost? About $8.00 for the URL, $25.00 for the years worth of hosting, and thirty minutes of computer and picture work. I can't believe more agents don't do this.

If you would like a free tutorial on how to easily set this up, then mention it in the comments below and if enough people request it I will make a video tutorial.
