When a real estate agent lists a property for sale, it takes time and energy to place properties into print advertising and onto web sites. In this kind of a market, real estate agents would rather spend that time and energy getting the property sold. And that means contacting their own potential buyers and getting the information to the brokers and their potential buyers. So the best advice if you are looking for something specific in the Mammoth market, especially the condominium market at this time, is to develop a solid relationship with an active agent. Your web site browsing does have a great deal of value both for yourself and the agent you are working with.
Subsequent time spent between the agent and client can be increasingly productive.
Recent research by NPD Online Research does show some interesting trends between the internet and real estate. The three top reasons for shopping for homes on the Web-convenience, speed, and property selection. At a very recent mega-convention focused solely on real estate and the internet, the CEO of one of my local competitor's franchisor was discussing the future of electronic real estate and the role of human interaction in the real estate transaction. And in a market like we have in Mammoth, the later you establish that interaction, and the more you rely on other sources for new listings, the longer you're going to wait to find that property you would like to acquire.
