Residential sales in Porter County Indiana declined 2% (Dollar volume) from 2006 to 2007. In today's market 2% is not a bad. The Lynda Anderson Team sales are up 8%. You hear suggestions on where to advertise, paper, internet, mailings.... Who is right? How do you know where to advertise? We personally tracked every lead we closed. The highest number of closings came from referrals, sign calls and the internet. A good Realtor needs to know what marketing techniques work. By taking the time to track your leads you are doing a service to both the buyer and seller. Sometimes following the crowd does not get the job done. Having solid proof allows you to run an efficient business. Take time to track your leads. Have a great 2008! The Lynda Anderson Team works for Boulder Bay Realty Group in Valparaiso, Indiana.
