Home buyers are looking to purchase homes on social media
and this, my friends, is the future of real estate because who has time to
visit each home personally?
As a busy
real estate broker, it’s difficult to be in 10 places at once so I understand
how home buyers must feel when running all over Los Angeles to open houses.
It’s frustrating, overwhelming and time
consuming.
Now, “more than three-fourths
of home buyers used social media in their home search, up from 52 percent who
used it in 2011. Buyers said they primarily used social media to obtain
buying tips and suggestions from friends (44 percent), neighborhood information
(44 percent), and to view their agents’ Facebook pages (42 percent),” (CAR.org).
New apps like Realtor.com can show home
buyers what’s available with a swipe of a finger.
Realtor.com keeps in touch by sending buyers
personal e-mails with updated homes and new locations. It’s hassle free and painless.
IMPORTANT: Once you have that information and you know which property
or properties you want, then it’s time to call a real estate professional like
myself. A real estate prof can help you construct an offer with the best price
and terms while protecting your interest at all times.
Also, if you’re interested in selling your home quietly, it
can be done! Most recently, I just leased a home on 17th St (400
block) within two days for $15,500/mo. (3600 sq. ft.) without putting it on the
internet or in The MLS (it was done quietly so information is limited, but if
you’d like to know more, contact me). If
perhaps you or someone you know want to sell your property quietly without
putting a sign up or putting it in The MLS, give me a call because I feel
confident I can work successfully under those parameters.
Always Committed,
Connie
