Is your home getting the on-line presence it needs? Top 10 most real estate sites on-line

Sophia Klopas Jason Stratton — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:14:00 GMT

The facts are the facts: 90% of Homebuyers start their home search on-line, whether they have contacted an agent of not. On-line exposure is important for many reasons. You want to get YOUR home in front of as many buyers as possible. A strong internet campaign can make the difference between a quick sale and a home that sits on the market for weeks, months or ever years (God forbid!). The Klopas/Stratton team invests heavily in internet marketing. Every brokerage is on-line these days, but does...(read more)

Not that everyone else doesn’t play an important role, but the buyer/borrower is the one most impacted...(read more)

The investment factor in buying real estate

Sophia Klopas Jason Stratton — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:52:00 GMT

Comparing Real Estate To Other Investments We recently posted Real Estate: Today’s Golden Opportunity comparing the current housing market to the market for gold about a decade ago. Some commented on the fact that you can’t compare gold to real estate as an investment as gold is a very liquid asset and it would take more time and effort to sell a house. We were not trying to make the case for real estate vs. gold as an investment in our blog. We were just showing that all investments...(read more)
