Converting Web Site Home Buyers to First Contacts
According the National Association of Realtors(R) ("NAR") surveys completed between 1999 and 2003, 66 percent of all home buyers stick with the first real estate agent they contact. The number one reason stated was that buyers perceive all real estate agents to be the same. This means that two out of every three contacts that you receive when you are the first contact, you are most likely to get the business. There are two major items that get in the way of this not happening. First, if you don't show them how you are different from the other realtors and if you don't have a formalized conversion system. The NAR news is good news if you are the first contact. But what do you do if you aren't? What can you do is a more accurately way of asking? Agents know there is a wide difference between experience and competence. This doesn't really matter though, agents main target isn't selling to other agents. The key is to create a marketing process that pushes you in front of the line of other realtors. The 2003 NAR report stated that 71 percent of buyers use the Internet to gather information on buying a home yet only 6 percent use the Internet to find an agent. This means that 65 percent of the people visiting realty-type web sites and just there for information. The 2003 numbers are an increase from 41 percent and 3 percent in 2002. Keeping at this same growth rate, the 2004 prediction would be 91 percent and 9 percent. The Internet is the fifth method to find agents. The first four are: referrals, repeat business, met agent at open house or office walk-in. The fifth with the Internet were yard signs. The least effective at 1% were advertising trinkets and direct mail. What type of Internet presence do you need in order to be first contact -- or part of the nine percent in 2004? With the Internet ever evolving trying to keep up creates a throw-up-the-arms frustration at times if you're not techie savvy or paying for someone else handing the site. There are four major keys for staying present and being in the this nine percent: I don't need to remind you that buyers are getting savvier every year with the Internet and with home buying. And due to this they will test your knowledge level during your first contact to see if you have what it takes to save them money, time and headaches. The latter, headaches, being Just recently I called four real estate agent companies and asked them one question out of the yellow pages and it was amazing what I discovered and the way I was treated. One agent took my name and number, promised to call back, and never returned my call until the next day with kids and dogs What are you doing to make yourself different? Communication skills need to be a big consideration. There are three major Internet communication items that make the determination of whether they are going to contact you or 1. Clear communication and instructions on the web site. This happens most of the time through linking. You ask visitors to click here but all they have is an underline on the word. Say "click here for." The other item is that 2. Ease of use. Is the navigational system of the site easy to use for visitors. Some people are very visual and by giving them an overall view of what they can find -- either in words or in a diagram eases their comfort level. 3. Provide details. Again, something similar to what I said in #1. Be clear, give details on what will happen if, where they will go next, or what they can expect to get or know by this.
