Thanks for the great testimonial Jim:
I am using MainRhode because it is a powerful tool.
Most brokers have no clue about how the search engines crawl pages or how they parcel out traffic.
I have seen the power of my site, as customers type in the address of a property that is for sale and the search engines acknowledge that my site has the info on that property.
I am a one-man Independent Brokerage, yet my site often beats Zillow, Tulia, Realtor, Hotpads, Cyberhomes and many others. Most brokers are feeding directly in to these sites and giving away ownership of their cyber real estate instead of competing with them in the exact same place all of them get their traffic: Google.
Top three rules in Real are location, location and location. On the web, it’s Google, Google, and Google.
My site makes me stand out in a crowd of Big Realty companies that do not understand what the customer wants.
The customer wants to search for real estate like they search for everything else: Keywords and phrases. The internet is vast and complicated, search engines make it manageable and easy to find what you want in the quickest amount of time. A fraction of a second is all you have to make an impression on a temptation-desensitized internet user.
I keep it simple, give the people what they want and follow up on emails and phone calls as fast as possible. I use Google Docs to transmit information to everyone and that makes it easy to keep everyone on the same page because the are, literally, on the same page.
With the help of MainRhode and the Google Search Appliance they have integrated with my IDX feed, I am the pretty girl in the bar: Everyone comes to me and buys me drinks.
