Client Services - Internet Marketing

Extensive studies have been done on the topic of Internet home buyers in an effort to better understand their mannerisms and buying habits. While Internet home seekers represent a very different approach to home buying, they are a growing and valuable segment of the real estate purchasing industry. Unfortunately, this segment is often highly misunderstood, which in many cases leads to the misconception that Internet home buyers, and thus Internet leads have less value than they actually do.

First, here are the facts:

• Over 85% of all home and property buyers are starting their searches online.

This percentage has been increasing by about 10% per year.

• Internet home searchers are starting their home search much earlier than traditional home buyers. Different studies have shown different numbers, however realistically the average is greater than 3 months. In other words, a greater lag can be expected between the time that an agent and their clients actually starts looking for a home and the time that their clients actually purchase.
  

• The average time it takes for an Internet home seeker to reply to contact attempts by a broker is 6 weeks versus 2 months for a traditional buyer.
  

• Once working with a broker, the typical Internet home seeker takes 2 weeks to choose their home versus 7 weeks for traditional buyers.
  

• One of the biggest mistakes a real estate agent can make is not understanding the nature of the Internet buyer when attempting to acquire them as a client.
