Gaining a competitive advantage with technology

By embracing technology, you can boost your productivity and effectiveness, ultimately leading to greater success. Here are some techniques that leading brokerages are using to thrive in the digital age.

Be visible online

In the current era of digital technology, real estate brands need to have a strong online presence. The industry may be hyperlocal, but being visible and searchable online is still crucial. Start by optimizing your website, but don't stop there. A comprehensive digital footprint includes strategies for directories, social media, link building and conversion optimization. Make sure potential clients can easily find and engage with your business online.

The National Association of Realtors reports 96% of buyers used online tools when searching for a home.

Lead generation

Lead generation has become a vital aspect of a successful real estate business. While relationships remain important, the digital transformation has shifted the focus to the customer. Platforms like Trulia, Homes for Heroes and Realtor.com have gained popularity by prioritizing consumer-centric experiences. Consider using cost-effective and highly targeted options like Google Ads to drive conversions on your website. Ads can provide a high return on investment when managed properly.
