Social Media - Our New Form of Advertisement?
Has anyone watched the awesome NAR video on social media? It gives some great information about social media being a fundamental shift in the way we communicate, advertise ourselves as Realtors, and much more. Some of the statistics are very interesting.
According to the NAR, Gen X will soon outnumber baby boomers. Gen Y and Z consider E-mail passe as a form of communication and 96% of Gen Y has joined a social network. The fasting growing segment on Facebook is females ages 55 to 65 - that's my mom! And 90% of people use a DVR or Tivo their shows in order to skip commercials.
So when we as Realtors look at advertising, I don't think ads in newspapers, online, or print ads are going to be where the buyers are going to find us or the homes we have listed for sale. I would say it will be Facebook or Active Rain!

Removing clutter, adding the power of 3 and focusing on the room's purpose, made this master bedroom stand out to potential buyers.

Again the power of 3 welcomes your eye into this staged dining room.

Why Choose The Thomas Team?
"Terry & Joyce Thomas were great! They provided us with an excellent marketing plan and realistic figures for listing our home. Our home sold within an incredible four days on the market. The closing process was so smooth due to in part excellent communication from our realtor to all the buyers' agents and vendors. To top it all off, we even used their personal moving truck to complete the process with only sweat and gas money out of our pockets. Will definitely use their services again!" - Derek & Amy, Troy
