The Coolest Way To Prove Your The Real Estate Community Expert

“Real estate transactions are a big deal for pretty much everybody, making the help of an expert crucial. You can bet that most people that are buying or selling a home are searching for information before their transaction, and the best way to become their agent is to have that information. Creating a community page lets you be that information source.”  ~ Bill Gasset

I wrote a blog post recently about my experience visiting open houses, “Real Estate Agents Don’t Waste Your Time Hosting Open Houses“.  In it I mention that none of the agents I met extracted my contact information… no way for them to follow-up with me.

What if they would have had a couple laminated Stunning Community Information Sheets laying on the table.  And what if they would have asked me if I was interested in getting one of these sheets mailed, or emailed to me.

Great, I would have said Yes, that sounds like a fair trade.

For the less aggressive, they could have at least handed out the sheets as a unique take away, giving me something to really remember them by.  Not just a business card.

People Are Curious About Their Community

One of my girlfriend’s favorite things to do is walk around her neighborhood and look at the for sale flyers.  She likes to walk each street, to see what is new, what is for sale, and what has sold.

The more information the better.

“According to a survey conducted by the Demand Institute of 10,000 households’ current living situations. And it’s the location of the home that will be driving most of those moving decisions — more so than the physical home itself”, writes Realtor.org Realtor Mag.

More important than the home itself is where it is located…  The article goes on to state that:

• Amenities/services in walking distance (39%)
• Good school district (34%)
• Close to work (32%)
• Diverse neighborhood (26%)
• Near public transit (25%)

were the characteristics identified as “very important” by those surveyed.

When we build websites we always add a Neighborhood or Communities feature onto each website.   There are many different ways that you can get community information… but here is one that may be new to you.

Community Feature Sheets

Somehow I stumbled upon these visually stunning Community Feature Sheets and contacted the company to learn more about them.  This what I learned.

Here is what Monica Brewer from Coldwell Banker Premier Group had to say;
