How to Drive Google, Search Engine Traffic, and your Customers to your Website using Social Media and Networking Websites

Social Networking Websites such as FaceBook and Twitter connect us to the people we know - Isn't time to connect with Google; The Closer we are to Google the Closer our Customers are to us…

The Exit Realty Brokers in and around Columbia and Lexington South Carolina, Cindy Evans, Ed Flowers, Jae Kim, Brandon Liles, Joe Nester, and Craig Summerall are holding a special training on Real Estate Internet Marketing and Social Networking for their Realtors January 21st 2010. (PDF Link)

Social Networking is a fundamental change in our society; it allows us to connect with our friends and customers via the internet and smart phones… it helps us stay in touch with those we care about, work with, and share with them what we are up to.

My question to you is: What if Google was one of your Social Networking Friends? Think about this: What if every time you had something special to share Google told everyone for you? and I mean Everyone on the Internet… Well Google tells everyone by ranking their stories and expertise – Do you know how to tell Google so it ranks you high?

Location: Agape Village
Village Community Center – 128 Agape Village Ct., West Columbia, SC 29169

Date: Thursday, January 21^st, 2009 – 9:30am (please start arriving at 9am)

Duration: 5 hours – ample breaks will be offered.

Cost: $59 (please make checks payable to: Key Yessaad and hand them to your broker. I asked them to hold the checks until I have delivered the training.)

My Commitment: To un-shackle you from the fear of the internet and show you what your Buyers, Sellers and Google want… (Don’t we all want to make Google happy!!!) I will also give you a methodical plan of action to get you going or tweak what you are currently doing…

This training was designed to first demystify Social Networking, and furthermore allow Real Estate Professionals to attract Google and Search Engines to your content, Blogs, and Website; remember "those you don’t know" are searching for Real Estate on Google NOT FaceBook…

This is a Strategy Training that covers Micro-Blogging, RSS Feeds, Twitter, Trulia, FaceBook, Blogs, and other Social Networking Hubs to drive traffic to your website… once you understand that the essence of the internet are links, well placed links, well-written links, Google will learn to translate your intention into visibility.

My trainings are designed to support Real Estate Professionals and Brokers devise an Internet Presence that produces results and transcends the arduous jargon of SEO and Confusion that floats around the Real Estate Industry. Keep this fact in mind: Internet Agents Earn 3 times the Income of Traditional Agents ($100K+ versus $36K.)

The Training goes beyond Internet and SEO Jargon and into a Successful Real Estate Internet Strategy

Summerville, SC Real Estate Market Statistics - November 2009
New Listings
Total	175
Average List Price	$210,662
Median List Price	$174,900
Sold Listings
Days on Market (DOM)	87
Total	148
Average List Price	$176,006
Average Sold Price	$173,457
Median Sold Price	$159,555
% Selling Price/Listing Price	99%
Current Active Listings as of Dec. 10, 2009
Days on Market (DOM)	152
Total	933

 Summary:

The real estate market in the Summerville, SC  is definitely a Buyer's Market, for every listing sold in the month of November there were 2 new listings added bringing the total as Dec. 10, 2009 to 933 listings.  The total number of listings dropped by 216 listings, which is probably due to the holidays.

The active listings in the Summerville, SC area have been on the market 152, which almost twice as long as sold listings (i.e. 87 days).  

Note:  A well priced home will sell faster and closer to the listing price.

Buying Tip: Take advantage of low mortgage interest rates.  The low mortgage interest rates are due to the government buying the mortgages and trying to stimulate the economy.   The government will stop buying mortgages in March of 2010.  When mortgages rates start to go up, buying power will go down for home buyers.  Take advantage of the low rates now, before they are gone. 

Selling TIP: If you are selling your home or are considering selling, there is no better time than right now.  The main reason is because, the number of homes for sale (i.e. your competition) normally drops significantly.  Another reason is because, the home buyers looking right now are more serious (i.e. relocating due to job).  The last reason is because, the number homes listed for sale is expected to increase substantially in the months to come with another predicted wave of foreclosures and homes be listed for the spring market.

Cup Yields:36

Ingredients          

 

1 cup(s) (unsalted) butter

Directions

1. In a large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the first 7 ingredients until blended. Reduce speed to low; add molasses and flour, mixing just until combined. Beat in 1/4 cup cold water. Divide dough into 2 pieces; flatten into disks and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 11/2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with butter or cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 dough disk to 1?8-inch thickness. Cut dough into circles using a 2-inch round cookie cutter. (Keep remaining dough disk refrigerated.) Gently ease dough rounds into muffin cups, pressing down to form a cup shape. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Cool in pan on wire racks. Repeat with remaining dough.
3. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring eggnog to slow boil; remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips, mixing until smooth and creamy. Let cool slightly. Pour into a large plastic zip-top bag and snip off corner. Remove cookie cups from pan and pipe filling into each cup. Garnish with freshly ground nutmeg, if desired. Let filling set before serving. Store refrigerated in an airtight container in a single layer.

The bank, which had previously foreclosed on the project, paid $2.425 million at a foreclosure auction held by Alex Cooper Auctioneers Thursday morning outside the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.

Representatives from the bank declined to speak with reporters following the auction.

A number of interested parties approached the BB&T representatives after the auction to inquire about the possibility of a private sale of the properties.

Up for grabs was the Overlook at Clipper Mill, a 2.55-acre property where Struever Bros. was in the midst of developing 27 so-called green homes priced starting at $500,000. Also on the auction block was the Tractor Building, a 42,000-square-foot building slated for conversion into office and apartment space.

BB&T paid $2 million for the title to the residential lots and $425,000 for the title to the Tractor building.

Struever Bros., which has been working to pay down the debts it took on to develop its broad array of redevelopment projects, will retain ownership of other parts of Clipper Mill.

The City of Hinesville is the county seat and largest city in Liberty County. With a population of over 30,000, Hinesville is also one of the fastest growing cities in the State of Georgia in both size and population. Hinesville is also known to have been the home of three signers of the Declaration of Independence: Lyman Hall, George Walton and Button Gwinnett. The city is the county seat of Liberty County. Hinesville is the proud home of the 3rd Infantry Division and Fort Stewart with which it shares a special relationship of mutual cooperation. The presence of the active military installation has contributed significantly to the growth of the area. The military installation occupies nearly half of the County's 519 square miles and is the largest employer in the County.

In Liberty County residents can swim in the ocean and cast shrimp nets in the marshes. Families can hike or bike coastal trails to wind down and disconnect. Yet Liberty County, a Mecca for manufacturers and businesses, is connected to the globe by a network of interstates, rails, air and seaports.

In Liberty County, tidal creeks that carried the canoes of Indians curl quietly through untouched marsh. Our tourist trade is increasing as city-weary travelers exit interstates to let tranquility lap gently at their feet. Our school children race around the globe on web-wired computers and when the bell rings, they race their bicycles home through quiet neighborhoods.

Highly trained engineers, who spend the week manufacturing parts that keep our high-tech world spinning, spend Saturday mornings engineering the perfect golf swing. U.S. Army soldiers, proudly wearing the uniform of freedom, walk the busy business districts of Liberty County, home centuries ago of three signers of the Declaration of Independence. Liberty County is a fascinating portrait of the old South and the new, of comforting tradition and of well-planned cutting-edge progress.

Our visionary leaders preserved what is best about our historic, coastal community, while carefully managing incredible growth and preparing for this new century with futuristic schools, technology and infrastructures.
