Listings make your first impression to a home buyer on the Internet



First impressions are everything on the internet.  While it is important to have a great looking web site because people do sometimes go there first.  There is one reason consumers search on the Internet and it is to look at LISTINGS……………nothing else.
So what do you need to do to make it easy for home buyers to see listings on your web site and call you?
  1. Your listing displays better WOW your consumer and make them want to see more.  If your IDX looks like it did 5 years ago, you are losing people that come to your web site.
  2. Google recognizes your listings as unique pages.
  3. You have prominent calls to action on every listing page.
  4. You have other important local information on each listing - not just what is in the MLS.
