Bio
As with most things, the Internet has changed the way people do business. <br><br>Today's Real Estate Market is no exception. <br><br>Before the Internet, Real Estate Agents relied upon Open Houses, Yard Signs, flyers and newspaper ads to sell their properties; however, modern technology has made these antiquated marketing strategies ineffective and obsolete. <br><br>Technology has changed everything, especially the way Buyers search for homes.<br><br>According to the National Association of Realtors, (NAR) over 90% of homebuyers begin their home search online, visiting sites such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Redfin, Homes.com and Trulia. <br><br>Today's internet savvy Buyers are NOT driving around random neighborhoods looking at “Open Houses” or "For Sale" signs.<br><br> Instead, they are searching the internet from the comfort of their homes, using laptop computers, iPhones, iPads, tablets, etc. <br><br>Since the majority of homebuyers are online, one fact is certain: If you wish to market your home to the largest pool of eligible Buyers, then your home needs to be advertised on the Internet. <br><br>Nevertheless, why are there so many “Open House” signs visible as you drive through local neighborhoods each weekend? <br><br>Have you noticed it’s usually the same agents doing “Open Houses” week after week? (usually for the same homes?) <br><br>Maybe these homes would sell faster (and for more $$$) if the listing agent knew how to advertise them online. <br><br>The sad truth is many Brokers have failed to keep up with the times. <br><br>Some Sellers make the decision to hire an agent simply because the agent is a "relative" or "friend of a friend," This does not usually result in the best outcome for Sellers. <br><br>When selling your most valuable asset, it pays to work with the very best Seller representation in the industry...not someone who's playing "Part-Time Realtor."<br><br>Many believe that Real Estate agents are "all the same," however; this couldn't be further from the truth. Hiring an agent who relies on Open Houses as their primary marketing strategy is like hiring an accountant who still uses a "Slide-Rule" to do your taxes...or a Secretary who still uses a typewriter. <br><br>As with any other profession, there are those who have embraced and mastered technology, while others struggle to keep up with the times. <br><br>Additionally, the majority of people who buy homes in Las Vegas are from out of state.<br><br>How is an Open House going to attract a Buyer from Canada, New York or Hawaii searching for homes online?<br><br> Robert Ratliff with RE/MAX understands the importance of technology. <br><br>They are considered industry leaders with online marketing and they understand the importance of using the Internet to sell homes. <br><br>By using mobile technology, top-notch professional photography, home staging strategies and innovative internet marketing, their listings receive more than ten times the exposure as agents who rely on outdated marketing methods. <br><br>Additionally, Robert Ratliff with RE/MAX listings feature cutting-edge virtual tours. <br><br>A quality virtual tour is like having an online Open House 24 Hours a day…7 days a week. Ratliff Realty Group with RE/MAX listings are uploaded to virtually every major Real Estate web site. <br><br>When you hire Robert Ratliff with RE/MAX, your home WILL be exposed to the largest possible pool of eligible Buyers, in the local, national and global arenas.
