More Home Buyer’s Find Property via the Internet
According to a report by the National Association of Realtors, 32 percent (1/3 of all buyers) of home buyers first saw the home they purchased on the internet. Buyer’s who found their home through a real estate agent dropped 14 percentage points to 34 percent, during the same time period.
Despite the slowdown in the housing market, buyers and sellers have increased their use of the internet when buying or selling a home. “The internet is a very important tool in today’s real estate market”, said Tommi Crow, CEO of Crow Erickson, Inc., the company that manufactures the InfoTubes and InfoBoxes found on real estate signs from coast-to-coast. “Home sellers know that they can use the power of the internet to reach millions of home shoppers as effectively as a real estate agent would”, said Crow, and, they can save themselves thousands of dollars in the process”, said Ms Crow. “Americans are successfully buying and selling real estate without using agents, and that trend continues to grow”.
Home seller’s who want to maximize their online exposure use InfoTube.net, combined with the services of Why 6 Percent. The combination of the two marketing programs provide home seller’s with a home listing on their local MLS, Realtor.com, Google, Yahoo, MSN, Craigslist, Zillow, Trulia, Infotube, Homes for Sale Live and other major web portals, which attract millions of home buyers each month.
