Social Skills: Is Nextdoor the Newest Real Estate Portal? | – RisMedia.com

Image
When Nextdoor was still making its way into the mainstream social media space, its uses in real estate were broad and vague . While it provided real estate agents with the tools to better connect with local prospects, they often had to take the initiative to formulate their own strategy and be creative with the information and resources the app was providing. In 2017, Nextdoor introduced a real estate section that allowed real estate agents to claim a free local page where they could connect with residents, respond to any inquiries and get reviewed. Additionally, this gave agents the opportunity to purchase a “branded listings” feature that would allow neighbors to see reviews alongside the agent’s listings. Within this section, Nextdoor also allows agents to promote their business using the Neighborhood Sponsor feature, similar to Zillow’s zip code-based advertising. Nextdoor has taken that section a step further, playing a more proactive role in agents’ lives, but at a cost. With...

A home for sale in the British capital will currently spend a median of 93 days, or a little over 13 weeks, on the market, the online property portal said. More:   Holmby Hills Mansion Lists for $55 Million Since peaking in 2014, London’s real estate market has been stagnating as a result of higher rates of stamp duty and political uncertainty. But following several months of declining marketing times, the market looks to be on the mend, the report said. “The London property market has rebalanced supply and demand and looks ready to return to growth next year,” Doug Shephard, director at Home.co.uk, said in the report. “As they say, ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’.” The median time on the market for homes across the entirety of England and Wales was 91 days. While all regional markets have slo...

Real estate agent Sean Cochran uses country music videos for marketing – Crain’s Chicago Business

Image
This southwest suburban agent’s parody video, designed to impress potential homebuyers, has had more than 500,000 views on his Facebook page. Sean Cochran, who’s new to both selling real estate and listening to country music, this summer combined the two into a promotional video that cleverly takes off on a Garth Brooks classic and positions Cochran as a fun guy to buy a house with. In 1990, Garth Brooks sang, “I’ve got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away.” In July, Cochran, an EXP Realty agent based in the southwest suburbs, released his video version of the song, where those lines become, “My inspector goes to low places, where the radon glows and the mold chases most agents away.” And so on, with Cochran in a suit, cowboy hat and boots helping a client buy a home. If the western wear seems incongruous in the Chicago suburbs, Cochran is quick to point out that it’s doubly so on him. “Let’s get this out of the way: I’m a bla...
