Selling homes today requires the use of online marketing.



In today’s global internet based market place, many prospective homebuyers are looking for information online.  As someone who may be on the verge of selling your home in Battle Creek, you might ask the question ‘How many buyers are searching online for real estate?’  The numbers would stagger you. 

At the recent Michigan Association of Realtor Convention and Expo which I attended, statistics were covered in a presentation from the National Association of Realtors.  In 2005 the number of buyers looking for homes online was around 40%, today in 2010 that number has climbed to 90%.

the modern approach to selling your home in Battle Creek.



This is a vital piece of information to understand before you jump into the market selling your home in Battle Creek.  Not only are we dealing with a new generation of internet users, and seekers of information, you online presentation has to be effective. 

When I as a Realtor am working with you as a seller on selling your home in Battle Creek, my marketing plan includes not just placing it in printed media ads and on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).  It also includes additional online marketing on my various blogs, social media and websites. 

My online marketing plan is comprehensive, and it creates additional exposure for your home online in places that new buyers are looking. 



Keep the inside clean and clutter-free, even if the home is
vacant.  This is vital when listing the home on the market.



Some other key tips that go hand in hand with a marketing plan include two basic areas, when selling your home in Battle Creek.  One, making sure you keep your home presentable at all times, and sometimes this involves hiring a professional ‘Stager’ to help you create the strongest presentation of the home. 

The number two item in selling your home in Battle Creek is making your home available for showings as often as possible, and even on short notice.  This would include making it available for open houses. 

Realize that a buyer who is coming to your home with a Realtor these days has already seen the information online.  They know the approximate room sizes, they have seen the photos, and they most likely have driven through the neighborhood. 

So for them to ask for a showing, they are truthfully 80% of the way there towards making an offer if they like the house once they tour it.  So this is important information to remember when selling your home in Battle Creek, as it is a new market these days.
