If you are reading this post, I don't need to bring you up to speed on the power of online media. You went to your search bar, whether Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc, and typed in a few keywords (Selling A Home In Scottsdale AZ, perhaps?) and here you are. You likewise understand that today's home buyers perform thousands of similar searches every day with slightly different keywords (Homes in Scottsdale AZ, for example). Gone are the days of waiting for the Sunday paper to clip the classified ads and open house listings to find a home. Gone are the days of waiting for much of anything, as a matter of fact. The internet provides 24/7 exposure for your home on the medium where the overwhelming majority of big game house hunters begin their quest. That's where we come in.
I'll take ... that one!
With a reach that spans continents as well as states, the Real Estate blog that you are riveted to at present is viewed by buyers from around the world. I'd have to check my visitor stats, but I believe the only locale from which we have not received an inquiry from a prospective home buyer is the planet of Zoltar, which lies within the fourth dimension of Saturn's largest moon (Titan, for all of you keeping score at home on earth). Zoltarians are notorious tire kickers anyway.
If there are buyers here, we'll find them!
So how do you harness this power for good (read: to sell your home)? The answer is so rudimentary that you are already rolling your eyes at the condescending simplicity of the pitch.
List your Scottsdale, Phoenix or Paradise Valley home for sale with Ray & Paul Slaybaugh!
In addition to prominently displaying your property in front of an armada of prospective buyers, this Little Blog That Could ™ includes a subscription base of hundreds of Realtors from around the country and Canada. That's what you call synergy, folks. Every contact leads to an additional pool of previously unreachable buyers. The more buyers that are exposed to our propaganda, the greater the likelihood of not only attracting a suitor for your home, but in maximizing the ultimate sales price.
Yes, your home will still be exposed to the market by traditional methods. Flyers, virtual tours, broker tours, enough digital pictures to choke a small animal with mega-pixels and the invaluable face to face networking that makes an experienced agent a prerequisite to the home selling adventure. Your home will also appear on all of those formerly cutting edge sites that aren't so cutting edge anymore (Realtor.com, etc).
When it comes to selling your home, the bottom line is not just what your agent does, but how he/she does it. So scroll through my blog archives, see how we market our properties via the Web 2.0 medium and learn a little about us in the process. Consumers have more information at their disposal than at any other point in the history of man. They are an insatiable collective beast. Hungry to buy, you nonetheless can't feed them until they have seen the menu. Your home may represent the juicy filet mignon to your neighbor's greasy hamburger, but if your waiter never tells them about the specials ...
So call us today to see your Scottsdale home up in these virtual lights!

Paul, very nicely done.
A great expose on how you'll market Scottsdale area listings with the power of the internet.
Kook.
Maybe, but I'll sell your house, too, if you aren't careful, Lenza Andrew.
You tell em about the power of the Slaybaugh blog post Paul!!!
Paul you should mention all of the stalkers potential buyers that you work with as well. The good thing about working with you is that real estate is never boring or dull. No "Must See" or "hurry won't last" descriptions from you. You have no lack of creativity...
Isn't Andrew on the coast while his home is being remodeled sold by you?
The US Postal Service may deliver come rain, sleet, snow or hail, but the Slaybaugh blog is open on weekends and holidays. It does go postal from time to time ...
The world's quickest remodel, Melina. While others are struggling with flooring and paint choices, Andrew redecorates with a match. On the bright side, there is always a market for cheap ;)
Paul...any seller would do well to list his home with you Paul. A more professional or hard working Realtor would be hard to find.
As luck would have it, I just received a lead alert from a Zoltarian looking for a warm retirement community. (It's all about the SEO!) Let me know if you are interested in the referral.
You bagged a Zoltarian, Erik? In April? Hmm ... I need to pirate your blackhat SEO secrets.
Hujambo, ndugu! Hiari enu vijana mingi pata uangavu mayai Pasaka hili!!!
A Zoltarian! Get him!
No..No, it's a greeting in Swahili, I will leave you to translate...
Paul I just want to know who Andrew is? Is this one of the local Realtors with no internet presence:)
