Featured Tool of the Week - FIT

Gone for the most part are the days of looking up a local business in the Yellow Pages… we go to the Internet instead. Who hasn’t used the ‘Net to check out restaurant reviews… book travel… shop… and that includes shopping for real estate. Consumers are searching the Web 24 hours a day, 93% of home buyers start their home search online.

And consumers are not just searching online, their online activity leads to transactions. Today 80% of all real estate transactions are generated on the internet. While the majority of real estate professionals have websites these days, 90% of Agents are not successful online. Only a small percentage of Agents are successfully generating business from their websites. The reason the vast majority of Agents don’t have the same success is because they don’t have the right tool in place to successfully market themselves on the internet at the highest level, and capture those valuable internet leads. Just being online doesn’t cut it anymore – you have to have the RIGHT tool.
