how can i run a realestate website successfully?

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by admin in buying realestate | 2 Comments »

real estate for selling and buying properties.. i have started a website www.keralarealmarket.com , now i want to have more traffic into that web page and i expect income from both advertisements and brokerage for selling and buying of properties by our clients. how can i run the site successfully?

I have no idea where you are located, as the place names are unfamiliar to me.

However, there are a few things that are important for a real estate website:

1. Provide the opportunity for website visitors to find properties they are interested in. I visited your site and it seems that you are already doing this. However, if it is possible to provide photos, this would be an enhancement. Website visitors like to see photos of properties. And make the photos descriptive and pretty.

2. I’m not sure what percentage of people where you are look at the internet for real estate, but if you want to get your website on the first page of results for your area, look into Pay per click or sponsored advertising. To get in natural results takes time, at least 6 months or even longer. Study Search Engine Optimization (SEO) so that you can make your website search engine friendly as well. Also use your domain name in your advertising (in the newspaper or elsewhere) so that before your website shows up in search engine results, people begin to become aware of your website.

3. Provide a sign in sheet for website visitors to request more information. This is essential so that you can capture contacts and follow up with them. And do follow up. Create a dialogue the same as you would in person. Many people who visit websites for real estate in the US are "just looking". Thus make your sign in sheet voluntary to avoid a lot of fake email addresses and contact information. If your sign in sheet is voluntary, you can interpret visitor sign ins as possibly being "almost" ready to purchase. Sometimes you have to follow up with people for a long time before they are ready to purchase.

4. Create a newsletter or something with good information about real estate in general or in your area that you can send to your contacts each month. For those who are not yet ready to purchase, this will remind them of you so when they are ready, they will contact you (hopefully).

Getting real estate business for the internet is a tricky thing. The most important thing is to give people the information they want, follow up quickly and keep in touch with the people who do sign in at your website.

Good luck.

Is having termites a valid reason to back out of a contract when buying a house?

Posted on February 26th, 2010 by admin in buying realestate | 15 Comments »

My realestate agent says the termites are not a "major defect".

You’re real estate agent’s lying to you. They just want their commission. Look, here in California it’s the law that the house must have a termite inspection before the close of escrow. Also, the seller is responsible for making all repairs. Don’t get suckered into buying something that’s not livable.

i am buying a mobile home for cash from owner what has to be done to safeguard my investment? inspectors?

Posted on February 22nd, 2010 by admin in buying realestate | 1 Comment »

do i need to get a realestate lawyer? who pays closing costs, building inspectors and whaterver else needs to be done?

Getting an inspection would be a very good idea, preferably someone who knows mobile homes.

Are you just buying the mobile home or is there land with it? If there’s land, definitely get a real estate lawyer to handle the paperwork and closing.

If you are just buying the mobile home and no land, it may be more like a car sale. Many states title mobile homes just like a car.

Things to look out for when renting or buying a condo?

Posted on February 18th, 2010 by admin in buying realestate | 4 Comments »

What are some negative signs and potential red-flags to watch out for when looking for a space to rent or buy? This is for personal. I’m not a realestate agent.

I’m looking for a QUIET neighborhood, no kids, not alot of animals. No loud cars and music. Nice and roomy space, no bugs and criters or a home thats coming apart. Good heating in the winter and very moisturerized. I cannot have a dry home that screws with my allergies. A superintentant who takes care of repairs when asked to etc.

Make certain the condo complex is at least 51% occupied by owners. If there are too many renters, the value and marketability may decrease over time, whereas owners have a vested interest in keeping their unit and neighborhood nice.

Get with a realtor and with a lender. The realtor can give you tips on the area’s improvement or decline over the last few years, and help you find the right place. The lender will make sure you are asking the right questions so you can get a loan for the property.
