Real Estate in Barrington & The Northwest Suburbs: Barrington real estate listings in Cyberspace - Is anyone out there?

When you've got Barrington real estate to sell, you need exposure. Exposure will ultimately bring you a buyer. By listing with a Barrington Realtor, you'll get exposure to all the other Realtors and their clients. In terms of where your buyer is that pretty much accounts for 80% of buyers. But what about all the buyers who are just researching, the ones in the early stages, the ones not yet ready to start offically looking for a new home. We all know they are online surfing the cyberspace waves and looking at listings.

Do we? Well we know but what about you? Time after time we tell you that your Barrington property is being advertised online and getting the best exposure possible. As the seller you accept what we tell you, and that's great because it means you trust us. But wouldn't it be nice to know how many buyers are actually looking at your Barrington property?

No problem, I can do that.

As listing agents selling Barrington real estate, we use a service called List-hub that takes your listing in the MLS and syndicates it to other real estate portals, like Zillow for example. They'll advertise your home for sale in the Barrington real estate listings section. Now you get the idea, let me tell you it syndicates your listing to many portals, so no matter what a users favorite site might be, you're listing will be there. Even buyers who already have an agent will go online to continue looking.

Here's a section of my September List-Hub report for one of my listings. For privacy I have removed certain information including the photo but you'll get the idea.

For this property at the top right it tells us most viewers came from Zillow, followed by Realtor.com and one via Hotpads. Trulia obviously had some looks as you can see one person actually clicked through. Farther down the report it all tells me how many enquiries were made, in other words how many people filled in a form. Not all sites provide the same data.

So yes there are buyers out there in Cyberspace looking at Barrington real estate listings, and our sellers are provided with this report free of charge if they would like it, every month.
