Yesterday I was working on posting our latest house for sale in Raytown, MO at 11312 E 57th Tr and I followed my normal pattern:
But this particular property we think is a little different than the typical property as the average house sits on a regular lot and this house backs up to vacant lots (one goes with the house) and has no houses built right behind it. So on MLS as I ran comps I was looking at all the maps. And while I use Google for my maps so I can see the street view photos of my property, our MLS system uses the new Bing and they have “Birds Eye View”
You have to check this “Birds Eye View” out. Go to our listing at 11312 E 57th Tr and click on the link that says birds eye view – it is similar to the arial veiw from Google, but much better photo quality. Then you can also download a 3 D viewer that is great on the map and also does the houses and puts in shade from the trees and everything, also really cool, but then the photos get a little fuzy.
You have to check this out with your own address.
So what can you do with this as an investor – well as I showed it to Joe in my office he said that he didn’t need to go see the houses anymore if I could get the camera to zoom in the windows. No these cool tools will not take the place of actually seeing the property, but you can definitly rule out a neighborhoo based on Google and now Bing. So before you drive, use the mapping tools from Google and Bing to see what you can see. And you can freak sellers out by describing their house to them over the phone. I do it all the time!

Located on a dead end street with nothing built behind. Home is in fair condtion and with a little TLC it will be a beautiful home. Our contractor is busy fixing a few items, but our plan is to leave room for the next owner to put in a little sweat equity by, painting the Interior and Replacing the Carpets. (Or bump the price and we can do it all!)
Please note that the house within the fencing sits on a normal size lot in the subdivision, yet this .2 acre or so lot is adjoining the vacant lots behind the fence with lots 3 thru 6. We are working to determine just how much land and where lot’s 3-6 are located. Click here to see a birds eye view of the house (2nd from the end of the street, backs to the vacant lots)
Pricing
Can’t go FHA right now, we have only owned a week. Must be conventional financing and if you are going to do all the work yourself, your lender has to be ok with the house having no carpet as we removed the old carpet. Buyer’s agents are welcome with a 3% commission based on seller’s net.
This is offered for Sale By Owner: Contact Joe Reece, Owner Broker at 816-523-4400 x 223 or cell at 816-507-4203. Act fast to get this one closed before December 1st and receive the $8,000 tax credit.

Website Job Description
Good Web Site Design = Search Engine Optimization
Your web site has several jobs that it must do in be Optimized with Search Engines, Be Found By Your Customers, and Convert Viewers in to Customers or Leads. You need to do a job review on a regular basis to make sure your website is doing it’s job, make changes where needed, and keep up to date. Or it may be time to fire your current website and hire a new one.
So what is your web site supposed to do?
Your website should be held accountable to your business and to creating a profit for you, in a very similar fashion to your employees. You should take a look at the following six primary responsibilities and if your site is not living up to your satisfaction, then it’s time to make some changes:
1. Educate your audience
2. Brand your company and image
3. Establish your company as authority in your industry
4. Generate sales and leads
5. Build lasting relationships
6. Empower your audience to buy more
So let’s break this down and compare it to a web site like HomeVestors.com. (no we are not affiliated with HomeVestors in anyway, but they do have an excellent example of a highly paid web site)
Your web site should educate your audience in a way that is easy for them to understand and allows them to make a decision to buy from you or use your services right there on the site without any further interaction from you or your company.
Check out HomeVestors online and you will find tons of information about many topics and testimonials, all designed to get their customer to buy or sell or to become a lead.
Your web site should back up your company brand and image. Have your branding and image consistent from your primary web site on all pages to alternative sites. Have it flow through to signs and office / store décor. Match your business cards and company stationary. You want to present a cohesive image and message all across the board. HomeVestors does a great job of this, from web site, to billboards, to shirts, they all match and keep their brand front and center. Who does not know that they “Buy Ugly Houses” or recognize their mascot “Ug”.
Your web site should also allow you to establish yourself or your company as a leader and authority in the industry. A quick look at HomeVestors will show you that they do this in well, with content on the various pages, testimonials, and articles from the News Media.
Your web site if it does not directly generate sales, should generate leads. Go back and see each section on the HomeVestors site and you will find that almost every page generates a lead. The main page directs you to what you want to do – Buy, Sell, Invest, or Own. Then each of those pages directs you to sign up where you become a lead. They do this very well.
Building lasting relationships with your audience, is a very important role and is often overlooked. If you sell something that you would buy over and over again, like books, you want to find a way to get book readers to come back to your site on a regular basis. If you buy houses, you want potential sellers to come back and visit your site as their situation changes and their motivation to sell gets stronger.
One way to do this is through subscription sign ups that allow your viewers to subscribe for more info and your site sends them new information automatically. Historically this has been email newsletter lists, but today more sites are directing visitors to sign up for their blog, to become their fan on Facebook or Twitter. And by becoming a fan, they become advertisers for you as the fact that they are your fan shows up on your page on the social networking sites and it shows up on their page.
If we look at the HomeVestors page, they have the sign ups for the email newsletters, but they have not caught up with the growing use of social networking. I read in the paper just today that there are 700,000 new users on Facebook every month. You have to catch up with this fact or you will be left behind – and guess what, this is almost FREE advertising, it just takes a little more skill.
Your Primary site should also empower your audience to buy more frequently, consistently and or become your customer more often. By showing value and the fact that other people use your products or service, you can give them this power. And the more you educate your audience, the more likely they will buy. Just think about that insurance company that invites people to come to their site to see what the competition is charging, this was their entire marketing message for quite a few years.
So in a nutshell, that’s what your Primary Website should do for you, but what are some things that it will not do:
1. It will not magically generate traffic. You have to take steps to direct people to find your site. Believe me, when I say, “the Build it and they will come concept, just does not work”. We will be talking at the October 2009 MAREI meeting on ways to generate traffic to your web site through search engine optimization, organic searches, blogs, articles and more. But let’s not overlook one of the easiest ways – include your web site in all your other marketing: business cards, signs, letterhead, print media, etc. By telling people to go to your web site in all your other marketing efforts you will generate some traffic.
2. Replace personal attention and connection. Ok some web sites are designed to be 100% online sales generation sites, but even they have a back end help desk for when things go wrong. But the majority of our businesses in the real estate arena are relationship based. Your web site and online tools will help you be able to connect more with your customers, but it is important to remember that just because your web site will interact with people does not mean you can stop. You still need to have good solid customer service and interact with them on a personal level.
3. Can’t take the place of good effective marketing and message. Just because you can build a web site, does not mean to just throw one out there and it will work. Take some time to plan your message and test and adjust as you go.
If you want to learn more, be sure to read October 2009 Investment News posted in the Newsletter Archives at MAREInet.com and be sure to attend the October 2009 meeting of Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors. Article author Kim Tucker will be talking about what the internet, your market, and your competition look like in 2010. What your web site needs to do to do a good job and online marketing strategies using social networking pages like Facebook and Twitter, Blogs like WordPress and Article Submission to raise your search engine rankings with search engines like Google.
