Having your own Domain Name

A domain name is a significant component of your marketing campaign and is absolutely essential in directing web visitors to your site. Having your own domain name is one of the most important aspects of a successful website as it promotes your brand.
Invest in yourself online as a Real Estate Agent
If you don't have a presence online now or in the near future, clients will not take you seriously. I am 48 yrs old and did not grow up with this technology. Tell you the truth first time back in 1998 I got familiar with the internet my brain could not grasp the concept. As I know many of you out there right now don't understand it to its fullest.
No worries, it's like turning the key of your car and there you go. Do you know how to rebuild an engine? You do understand you need a car to go to your clients. So all you need to understand is that you need a domain name that will give you an edge over your competition.
When you have the URL (Universal Resource Locator) or so called Domain Name of the city you work in you will have that edge. It is just a matter of time before your community will type in your URL on their computer for their Real Estate needs. (See marketing).

Have the domain name of the city you work in
How powerful is that ? According to the "2005 National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers," 77% of the buyers and sellers surveyed used the internet as part of their search process. Do you think this # will go down in the future ?
Let's assume you work in Burien in Washington State. The competition is tough. There are on an average 400 listings active any given day. How are you promoting your website on the internet and how do you direct people within your community to your website. You think they remember your name?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE

Let's take an example
You're in the office making those dreaded cold calls (hahahaha). Or you're out there meeting people in your market place.
"Hi my name is Willem Sterneberg. I am a real estate agent in Burien . Check out my state of the art website and get all kinds of great info on how to buy and/or sell homes in Burien. It is http://www.willemsterneberg.com/ .
You think they will remember your name or know how to spell it? Don't think so !
How about: "Why don't you check out my site at http://www.Burien-Homes.com/ "
Now it is not very hard to remember the city you live in..right. Homes behind the city is logical and easy to remember.
