Q1. When you search for real estate, where do you look? (online; where? offline; where?)
A1. Online, Craigslist, local apartment listing websitesQ2. What do you look for in a Realtor?
A2. I would look for someone who has my best interest in mind, knowing several local realtors who are bloggers I would definitely start there.Q3. Do you look for real estate on Craigslist?
A3. YesQ4. When you see a real estate listing with no pictures, what do you do?
A4. I usually look it up on Google Maps or Google the name of the building to see if there are photos somewhere else on the web.Q5. If you were a Realtor, what would you do different than any other Realtor you have seen?
A5. I’d have to say that keeping a blog is a great idea and as I mentioned, I would actually be more inclined to work with someone who is active in the social media community. It shows a level of transparency, allows them to have discussions with readers, visitors, potential clients and peers and builds up trust.
When you say ‘online’, do you mean listing websites like http://www.realtylink.org and http://www.mls.ca? If not, why not?
