Sadly, many of the Realtors I encounter live in denial of current trends. Most are satisfied with having a poorly constructed website that leaves the user feeling disappointed. If was a potential home seller, the very first thing I would do is visit a Realtor's website to see if they know anything about internet marketing, SEO, etc. I agree that the old guard will fade if they do not embrace technology.

However - agents who EMBRACE this new technology - in this wonderful Information age will SKYROCKET to success. It is all how you look at it.

Our Trulian duo is in good company with none other than Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, Brad Inman, CEO of TurnHere and Founder of Inman News, and even the (drumroll…..) “Participatory Consumer,” described as “embracing the Internet as a source of real estate knowledge, sparking a sea of change in business models.” [...] […] We were surprised and honored at the recent inclusion of Trulia co-founders, Pete Flint and Sami Inkinen, in REALTOR Magazine’s “15 Who’ve Had an Impact,” complimenting the pub’s 2006 announcement of “Real Estate’s 25 Most Influential Thought Leaders.” Wow–what a lineup.

Recently at Keller Williams we had a "Technology Camp" held in Austin Texas and KW has boiled down what an agent needs to do to have a website that produces business - right down to benchmarks and budget estimates. In my market, Detoit Michigan more specifically Ann Arbor Michigan, many agents are very slow with few buyers and sellers that aren't motivated to lower prices on their properties. Now is a great time to review your online marketing and take steps to leap forward. so that when the market thaws out, buyers will be finding you first in their web search.
