A Full Network of Internet Sites

More and more, home buyers are turning to the Internet to find the home of their dreams. According to Internet Demographics published by Realtor.com, in 2001 some 66.9% of Americans used the Internet regularly. The National Association of Realtors reports that some four in ten buyers now are using the Internet to shop for their next home, an eighteen-fold increase in only four years. The Internet has now surpassed newspapers as a primary source information for home buyers.

But promoting and creating a web site is not easy, and it's not something most Real Estate Professionals do well. Fortunately, when you hire the Real Estate PLUS Team, you're not just getting two great Realtors® -- one of us comes with a background as an Internet Software Developer, and we're both absolutely comitted to providing our sellers with Internet exposure that is second to none.

As part of this committment, homes listed by our sellers are not just "listed on a web site", they're listed on an entire network of sites. We use a combination of leading edge techniques such as search engine optimization and pay per click advertising to bring the buyers to your home.

The table below shows the sites where our sellers' homes are listed and the importance of each.
