Dec. 14, 2006 - Westbrook Village Real Estate Takes Flight |
Just under a month ago - actually, it was only 17 days ago - we launched WestbrookVillageRealEstate.com, a comprehensive guide to real estate and life in Westbrook Village, an active adult community in Peoria Arizona. We started with a bumblebee scheme adapted from Century 21's official colors, before taking Mary McKnight's sage advice and switching to a far softer look.
Unlike my other two sites, I held off on beginning a reciprocal linking campaign partly out of curiosity and partly out of sheer laziness. Instead I focused on a handful of high quality links from my Active Rain blog, from this blog and from my primary website.
Here are the results to date ... again, it's only been 17 days since the pages were uploaded and the site went live:

You may be asking how effective an Internet marketing campaign can be for an active adult community. But given the minimum age is down to 40 in some areas (frighteningly, only three years above my current age), and the increased use of the web in real estate, I believe it's only a matter of time before the Westbrook Village Real Estate site helps us gain significant market share in the area.
Next up for the site ... an increased library of real estate articles (our own personal wiki, if you will) and an IDX-based MLS search.

| Jonathan, I love your new blog! The colors are very Arizona, don't you think? And they show off the pup rather well too! |

Nice new site. Though I am sure the active adults will find your site, I think their children will find it too. And these adult children often play a role in their parents' transition to an adult community.
I am 41 and I don't think there is an adult community on this planet that would welcome me with my 3 year old. |

Thanks for the compliment on the site ...
Sadly, I think you're right about the 3-year-old. Most places are firmly into "we love the kids, just pack them up before nightfall" sort of theme to them. |
