The NAR published the following statistics:
Homebuyers' Use of the Internet
77% of home buyers used the internet as a source.
81% of internet home buyers also used a real estate agent. 63% of non-internet buyers used a real estate agent.
75% of buyers who searched online drove by or looked at a home they first saw online.
Obviously this is more than enough evidence that "todays" REALTOR needs to be internet savvy and aware of what the internet can do for us as far as getting our name out there.
There are many realtors that I know that have a generic company built website and it just sits there with no updates. If stores had the same thing on their shelves all the time, would you continue to come back again and again?
