Online Buyer Activity for Local Market Areas Now Available Through Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors

RISMEDIA, May 13, 2008-Have you ever thought of selling your home but wondered if your local market area had enough buyer activity to make the effort worthwhile? Now you can watch the activity daily through e-mails that give you the amount of online buyer activity by market area and by your home’s price range. The report includes the number of searches for homes like yours in your zip code – yesterday, last week and in the last 30 days.

According to Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors, to acquire this free, no obligation report for your home, simply log on to www.GaryGreene.com, select “Locate an Agent” and e-mail the agent of your choice a request to receive an Online Buyer Activity Report.

While Online Sellers Advantage – provided exclusively in Houston by agents of Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors – only reports buyer activity that occurs online, the company says it represents the majority of home-buying activity. Research from the National Association of Realtors indicated that 84% of all home buyers during the first six months of 2007 used the Internet to search for a home. This statistic has been climbing every year since the research began in 1995, and 2008 should see at least 84% or more home buyers using the Internet to search for a home.

Online Sellers Advantage is a tool for sellers who don’t want to guess when it’s a good time to sell. The online buyer activity report is just the first of many features that Online Sellers Advantage provides.

Once a home is placed on the market, sellers receive their choice of either daily or weekly notices of how many times their home has been searched by a prospective buyer through Yahoo.com, Prudential.com or Trulia.com. The seller can stay informed during the listing process about online activity, so they can compare that activity with their home’s actual showings.

The home is also displayed as a Featured Property through our exclusive online advertising campaign with a multitude of Web partners. A “Featured Status” listing enables your home to stand out amid other listings and is a buyer attention grabber.

Finally, Online Sellers Advantage assigns each home listed with Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors a Web ID that, when advertised in print media, enables a buyer to instantly receive property details of the home. The strategy connects print advertising with the Internet so that both media are working together on behalf of the seller.

The company says that one of the most frustrating experiences for a seller in a competitive market is not knowing what amount of actual buyer activity is occurring in their area while the home is on the market. Online Sellers Advantage goes a long way in communicating activity while it raises the home’s online market position.
