Time to sell your home?  How about reaching the countless buyers that begin their search online with wide-eyed dreams of finding the perfect home? At one point in time, Realtor.com used to be the website of choice for both sellers looking to list their home on a high-traffic site and buyers that wanted to gain access to all the latest properties. But things have changed. Now, a whopping 88% of buyers go online before even setting foot in a real estate agent’s office. They are logging on and browsing through national website like Zillow.com, Truila.com and a host of other property sites as well.

The Secret About National Listing Sites That Most People Don’t Know

When most people log onto a site like Zillow.com or Realtor.com, little do they realize that there are multiple tiers of advertising available on the platform. The average home seller or agent logs on and lists a home using the standard basic free tier. A few photographs are added to a general listing with some basic information about the property. There are two more levels on top of that first one that allow posters some more room to elaborate on their listing.

The highest and most visible form of advertising on these sites, however, entails the deepest level of market penetration. The Bill Black Team engages in this level of marketing on almost fifty various property search tool websites. The banner that is most commonly seen at the top of these site’s pages are among those that we pay for – so that means that when buyers visit those sites, precise target marketing takes place, prominently showing them your property. One step further, when buyers inquire about those properties they are redirected to us and we can then further assist them with their interest in your home.

The Age of Offline Advertising Is Fast Changing

At one time we would invest a lot of advertising dollars into all the forms of ads that were once popular. Today, print media, Television ads and high-gloss colorful flyers placed at the home sites are all virtually obsolete. The Internet has completely taken over. Through our extensive tracking systems we have been able to confirm that 88% or more of all buyers start their search online. In a “here and now” society, it is essential to be able to provide on time, real time property listings that satisfy the needs of today’s buyers.

CBS Home Ranks First in the Top Five Property Search Engine Sites

Not surprisingly, in a survey conducted by an independent firm, we discovered that CBS Home captures a significant market share of first-time online buyer presence. CBS Home has a 60% market share, followed by NP Dodge with 34% of the Omaha market share in this category, Deeb Realty with 4% plus Keller Williams and Prudential each with 1% total market share in our region.
