Anytime a new technology comes out, a few hardworking people who rise to the challenge, can find gold in it. I believe ListedBy.com is gold. It’s a new spin on real estate combined with social media. ListedBy.com is a free website that allows real estate sellers and buyers, licensed or not, to market in one spot. One of the cooler features of ListedBy is the social networking aspect of it. This feature allows you the seller/buyer/agent to all have real-time conversations about the property in question. This also gives all parties a chance to get to know each other. This website is BRAN NEW. It was just recently launched and is already gaining a lot of traction. There are people looking to buy and sell real estate joining this new wave of doing business daily. This is seemingly an easier, less stressful way for all parties involved to feel comfortable about the whole real estate process and with each other. There is a little secret I uncovered when I was on the site that I want to share with you. AGENTS: There are people on this site day and night trying to advertise their property. If you are good at your job and have the needed sales skills to do so, reach out to these people! You never know if they may be open to an agent. You also never know if they are real estate investors who buy and sell over and over.
Realtors can also use ListedBy in their listing presentations. Inform your sellers that this is another powerful piece of the web that their property will be listed on. With the “auction” feature that ListedBy offers, you can always present that as a resort or method during your listing presentations as well. The last thing I want to mention about this website is the ad portion. As I mentioned before, this is a new site that is gaining traction, so you can get in on the advertising at a good rate right now as well. Imagine your properties or your face showing up on the homepage every time someone went to the site. I’m personally always on the look out for new ways to attract leads and ads on ListedBy is a perfect place to do just that.
As always, I’ve produced a short video that gives you the 50,000 foot overview of what all the site can do. There is so many more functions and services available but I did not want to spend all day going over it ;-) Enjoy the video and be sure to reach out to ListedBy and tell them I sent you. I promise you can’t go wrong getting your name and properties in more places online.
