Sep. 15, 2008 - Buyers find their real estate agent online

Internet use for home search is up

Reported today on Inman.com, “An individual real estate agent's web site was cited as the most useful web site during the home-buying process. What surprised me is the survey found “About 90 percent of buyers in the Internet group found their real estate agent using the Internet…”

That is an extremely high number and a no-brainer why an internet presence is vital to survival as a real estate professional in the 21^st century. According to the survey the top visited real estate sites, in order, are: Realtor.com, individual realtor websites such as mine, specific home listings, real estate brokerage sites, Zillow.com, Craigslist.com and Yahoo Real Estate.

Thanks for the update, Mike... I knew that the number was higher - for ages people have been saying it's around 83%, - I couldn't find anyone to dispute it in writing!

There's a good chart recently recast by RealBird that highlights where online listing referrals come from. Trulia seems to be the break out supplier. I'll see if I can attach the pie chart here or twitpic it to you.

Looks like I may have to link it to you --- click here

Best,
