WANTED: Techie Internet Marketing Guru for Busy Real Estate Team

Having worked in the real estate industry for 14 years now, I have seen some major changes take place. The way Realtors market their services and listings, communicate with home buyers, home sellers and other Realtors continues to change on a daily basis.

Just a few short years ago the typical Realtor would strive to become successful enough to hire a Listing or Closing Coordinator. Most professionals now have people like this on their staff. A listing coordinator will take certain things off the Realtor's plate like photographing and preparing marketing material for new listings, obtaining buyer feedback from Realtors that show the listings and so on. Closing coordinators help keep the sales running smoothly and make sure everyone involved stays focused on the goal of a successful closing.

Well, one more position has popped up over the years. Whether it's a position all to itself, or is picked up by an existing team member, it's one that is a definite must during this new shift in our industry. To be successful these days, Realtors must have a Technology Coordinator.

Homes for sale are marketed much different than in the past. The days of putting a sign in the yard, and posting the home in the local MLS are gone. These days, sellers rightly expect much more. Our team posts listings on numerous websites including Craigslist, iTunes, and a host of other sites. We now communicate with our sellers via phone, e-mail and the web. And we attract buyers and new clients through a variety of online methods. For the average Realtor, this would be an impossible task to keep up with.

The Kombrink Team at RE/MAX Excels is able to offer their clients the most aggressive marketing plan, and state-of-the-art communication and services because we realized the need to devote a specialist in this field. Our team has the staff necessary to keep up with, and execute these latest trends which results in a much better customer experience and faster results for our clients.

So the next time you hire a Realtor to buy or sell a home, ask them, do they have the time, knowledge and experience to harness today's advances in the real estate industry? Will they be able to leverage technology to bring you a faster and more profitable real estate experience?
