Client Services - Internet Marketing

85% of all home and property buyers are now starting their property research and searches online. For a destination resort community like Crested Butte, this percentage is most likely higher. Most of our investors live in other states and countries of the world. The Internet is their PRIMARY tool for shopping our real estate.

Internet home searchers are starting their home search much earlier than traditional home buyers. Different studies have shown different numbers, however realistically the average is greater than 3 months. In other words, a greater lag can be expected between the time that an agent and their clients actually starts looking for a home and the time that their clients actually purchase.

The average time it takes for an Internet home seeker to reply to contact attempts by a broker is days versus months for a traditional buyer.

Once working with a broker, the typical Internet home seeker takes 2 weeks to choose their property versus 7 weeks for traditional buyers.

One of the biggest mistakes a real estate agent or seller can make is not understanding the nature and magnitude of the Internet.
