The Endless path of opportunity
“I want to sell my rental property in Etobicoke Ontario. We’d like to find a great agent who won’t bait and switch us with over inflated estimates on what our property is worth or unrealistic time frames to sell it; just to get the listing.”
So [insert client’s name] sets out like they do in their hunt for any other product or service, digging online. Research.
A Google search for “Etobicoke real estate agent reviews” provided 30 pages of results:
Not all are local Agents, but aggregators, lead sellers, directories and others who market their way into the keyword search online. Some are companies that just advertise listings.
In 2003
- We found Buyers with Ads in the paper
- Our daily Tear Sheets were organised into books by district and price.
- We were gatekeepers of the LISTING content.
- Yellow Page Advertising was effective.
- When Door knocking, more people were home and willing to open the door.
- Flyers had tangible penetration rates.
- Direct Mail was effective.
We are Smarter consumers
The Web has birthed a new graphic as the Smarter Consumer. These are people who dig deep into the data points, content, images, video, news and reviews – the things that drive decisions. They are either effective in their analysis or paralyzed by the myriad choices.
Five or even three years ago, you might write these folks off as “obsessed”, “power users” or even “NERDS”. Today, with more and better information available, they’re darn near everybody.
