Promoting the Single-Property Site

  1. Agents can promote their single-property sites wherever they currently post information, online and in print.
  2. AgencyLogic sites can be placed on MLSs; the company is an approved REALTOR.com vendor and automatically uploads web sites on behalf of its clients to be featured listings similar to a virtual tour.
  3. The company provides for free the mechanism for advertising a property on all of the property-specific listing sites such as Trulia, Oodle, Google base and Edgeio; agents also have the ability to create versions compliant for eBay and CraigsList.
  4. Change in the real estate market has created more competition for listings; agents now want their listings to be where the buyers are looking; consumer-oriented sites are opening their sites to agents for free-those sites make their money by offering additional services such as preferred positioning and advertising.
  5. Using a sign rider to display the web site under the For Sale sign on the property is common and effective.

In this briefing he also covers the following useful real estate topics:

  • The Case for Using Property Specific Web Sites
  • How the Strategy Works
  • Background on AgencyLogic
