We're Where The Buyers Are
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that about 84% of all residential real estate transactions start online. That means that with at least 84% of prospective home buyers starting their search on the Internet, your real estate agent better have a rock solid web presence. Unfortunately, NAR also states that 93% of agents are unhappy with the sales attributable to their online presence. Why is this? Because most agents don't have the technology background or the time/money to devote to a serious web presence. At Lake & City Homes, we use the considerable technology background of broker/owner Jolenta Averill (over 20 years managing trading floor technology across three continents) to stay on the cutting edge of Internet technology as it relates to real estate. With 79% of Internet consumers choosing their agent online, and those consumers viewing half as many homes in person before buying as do traditional buyers, as well as those consumers on average being better educated and more qualified financially to purchase a home, we can't afford not to have the best possible real estate web presence in Madison, Wisconsin and throughout Dane County.
Technology acceptance, adoption and implementation are at the forefront of the today’s valued Realtors. Since buyers and sellers today are so web-savvy, it takes a knowledgeable and committed broker to exceed clients' expectations. At Lake & City Homes, we believe that in today’s competitive real estate market, it's important for real estate professionals to not only provide superior customer service, it's important to offer an outstanding web presence as well.
