Where buyers found homes they purchased

marketing chart

Interesting data provided by (NAR) the National Association of Realtors show Agents and Internet are the leading cause home buyers found the homes they purchased.  Such facts have also been confirmed by John L. Scott Real Estate and even our own personal experience as Realtors who spend “a ton” on marketing dollars each year to drive traffic to our listings!   We not only help our clients make sound real estate decisions, As your local Sherwood and surrounding area Realtors, we make sound marketing investments of our own to better serve our clients needs.

While the data in this chart shows that newspaper advertising in real estate produces pretty bleak results at only 3%, we feel it’s important to showcase our listings in local print and support our local Sherwood Gazette hometown paper.  That’s why every month you see ads from The Gardner Team on the full color, full page John L. Scott section and large ads we place in the paper in other sections at the same time!

After a few years of spending upwards of a thousand dollars every month on local magazines alone to include Luxury Magazines, Home Seekers and Homes & Land for example, we noticed a larger amount of calls coming in about our properties for sale from our websites such as, www.TheGardnerTeam.net, www.DiscoverSherwood.com and www.SherwoodJohnLScott.com.  That’s why now you’ll see The Gardner Team in more places online than most other agents.  We’ve transitioned most of our marketing dollars to the place that counts most when showcasing our clients homes for sale… Online.

Sure, you can find The Gardner Team and ALL our listings online in the MLS, Broker Sites, Realtor.com, Google, Yahoo, Trulia, Zillow, Youtube, Craigslist, Backpage, Lycos, Oodle, hotpads, popsmart, olx, vast, geebo, HGTV Frontdoor and literlly 100’s of the most trafficked sites on the web.  But we’re proud to be affiliated with some of the bigger fish in the sea… Afterall, providing the BEST service and delivering the BEST results is why people call us and refer their friends to The Gardner Team – YOUR success is our success!

vflyer
 Creating eye catching online ad presentations is critical.  When we place a classified ad in Craigslist, Backpage and throughout the web, it’s our goal to insure our listings stand out from the crowd.  Using Vflyer’s interactive service & platform to build our e-flyer advertisments adds credibility to the listings serious home-buyers are looking for.  Just this month Vflyer was the first to introduce  phone-based voice narriation.  This not only provides a more dynamic experience when Realtors or buyers view our virtual flyers and e-campaigns, but added SEO (search engine optimization) benifits for our home sellers too.  We just finished with the customization of our virtual flyers and vflyer site and are loading all our listings as we speak  - view it with direct access at www.SellingSherwoodHomes.com
