Sell Your Alexandria VA Home - MovingToNova Internet Marketing Plan

 

Alexandria VA Home Sellers Demand A Concrete Marketing Plan -
   And Boy Do I Deliver!

First and foremost, my job as your Old Town, Del Ray, Kingstowne, or Manchester Lakes listing agent is to effectively showcase your home. This means targeting both local and relocating buyers.  According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) 2010 Profile of Buyers and Sellers, nine out of ten homebuyers start their search for homes online.  This means that your buyer is viewing, comparing, and researching your home online before making the decision to call their Alexandria VA buyer agent to take a look at your home.

And the Sunday paper is no longer the #1 resource for homes for sale. In 2003, The internet surpassed newspaper advertising in real estate for the first time.  So, before you think about putting heavy emphasis on whether or not your home will be featured in the Sunday paper, realize that for today's consumer, it's not the most effective way to get attention.

When you list your Old Town, Del Ray, Kingstowne, or Manchester Lakes home with me, I will implement a high-impact online marketing strategy to ensure high visibility for your home. Marketing Alexandria VA real estate online requires an investment of time, money, and resources.  With the click of a button (or two) your home will spread virally across the world wide web through the following websites.

My Internet Marketing Plan - No Guessing On Where To Find Your Home Online

 

Showcased on www.MovingToNova.com

All of my new listings are placed here first. And any website visitor who has registered will automatically be notified. Click here to view our 'Featured Homes'.

My secondary website also benefits from high visibility on Google. All registered users receive instant notification whenever a new listing is added.  To date, there are over 450 active users! Click here to view my secondary website.

Showcased On www.Mcenearney.com

Visit www.mcenearney.com to see our beautiful collection of homes for sale. As the top real estate company in Northern Virginia, once you visit our company site, you'll see why you'll want your home showcased here.

Displayed On HomesDatabase.com

Here in the Washington DC metropolitan area, all of the listings in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) are displayed on HomesDatabase.com.  This site is the most accurate when it comes to local real estate listings.

Showcasing on Realtor.com

Showcased On Realtor.com

If there's one site most buyers know, it's Realtor.com. This is the usually the first stop for relocating buyers.  Because my listings are showcased, I can add more photos and descriptions.

Watched on YouTube

Visit my YouTube channel at YouTube.com/movingtonova to see how I use video to showcase listings and neighborhoods.  The YouTube videos get optimum placement on the Google search engine.

Visual Tours - Photo Slideshows

There a method behind the madness of every element of the online marketing strategy. Creating a photo slide show provides the opportunity to showcase your home in a unique, easy-on-the-eye alternative to still photos. These Real Estate shows can be embedded into blog posts, shared across other social sites, and uploaded to YouTube.

Individual Property Website

Another way that I generate traffic to your listing online is to create a separate real estate website for your listing.  This way visitors are not distracted by competing homes. Click here to see an example individual property website.

Are you QRious about QR Codes (Quick Response)

More consumers are using their smartphones for their real estate search.  With the use of QR codes, buyers can scan this barcode image by taking a picture with their smartphone camera, and a QR reader app will open a browser window to display your listing individual property website. Nothing to type! This technology is supported on iPhones, Droids, Blackberrys, and Palms.

Craigslist.org

The locals know to check the real estate section of Craigslist for open houses and new listings. It's a dynamic website and my strategy is to post multiple times during the week.

Realbird.com

Realbird is a powerful and robust tool for real estate agents.  This listing platform allows for unlimited photos, videos, and text for descriptive comments. Realbird allows me to create a single-property website for your listing, and automatically syncs Google maps, and provides all-in-one push service to 'share' your listing across the social media websites.

MilitaryByOwner.com

Our area is largely known for its military population. High visibility on MilitaryByOwner.com with extra photos gives your home increased exposure to military families who often search ‘military-related’ websites first.

Zillow.com

Zillow.com is a real estate website that gained popularity for 'zestimating' the market value of homes. It has evolved into a listings website that ranks high on the buyers' search list.

Trulia.com

Trulia.com is another popular real esate website that buyers use to find out information on communities.

Facebook.com

Share, share, and LIKE!  With your friends, family, and everyone in your circle of friends. Once I've created a blog post or single-property website of your home listing, I'll send it to you so that you can use Facebook.com to share it with your network. All of my listings are also posted on my Facebook Business Page.

Twitter.com

You don't have to tweet. But I'll tweet for you. With the viral marketing techniques that I use, you'll also see a tweet about your home on Twitter.com.

MovingToNovaBuzz.com

MovingToNovaBuzz.com is my personal blog site. Here I'm able to capture more attention from Google when I write specific blog posts (aka articles) about your home listing. This increases the chances of your home being found in the search engines.

Because I am part of the McEnearney and CallTamara network, all of my listings are automatically syndicated to the following websites for additional internet exposure for your home.

Hotpads.com is a real estate listings website that focuses on major metropolitan areas.  Many of the buyer inquiries that I receive come directly from HotPads.com.

Oodle.com is a classifed ads website.  Similar to Craigslist, Oodle is more visual, but the real estate classifieds make it a popular listings website.

Enormo.com is a real estate website geared to major metropolitan areas.
Wildly popular for its real estate reality shows, many consumers trust HGTV when it comes to anything real estate. FrontDoor is HGTV's website for real estate listings.
Homefinder.com is another real estate website geared mostly to major metropolitan areas. The site has been around for longer than many of the other sites that have recently popped up.
AOL is still in the game of real estate. Many consumers still use its real estate portal to search homes for sale.
Homewinks.com is growing in popularity. Suited best for high density areas, we've heard some consumers mention this website by name.

You don't want to 'sort of' list your home,
so I'm not about to 'sort of' market it. Keep scrolling because my list of websites for marketing your home keeps going and going...

Online marketing for real estate is always evolving.  Just a couple of years ago, Facebook and Twitter were unheard of and YouTube was just for commercials and music videos.  As the industry evolves, I stay abreast of the changes so that my client reap the benefits, while other agents are scaling back and relying on the sign and waiting for a sale.

 

When you’re ready to list your home, please call me at 703-623-8759 for a confidential interview. No other Alexandria VA listing agent goes to this extent of internet marketing to find a ready buyer for your home.
