I Have a Page for That!

Have you been searching for Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, or Englewood real estate and found the process frustrating?

Many of my competitors advertise that you can see listings for these areas on their websites.  This is true, but it takes a bit more work for the consumer.  Most make you go to a blank search form for the MLS, and if you aren't that familiar with our area, the results you get back may not be exactly what you're looking for.

When I created davidbarrhomes.com, I put myself in the shoes of the customer.  I have specific pages with real estate listings for over 45 popular local towns, areas, and neighborhoods in the greater Sarasota area.  Want to search for homes west of the Trail in Sarasota?  I have a page for that:  www.davidbarrhomes.com/west_of_trail.  The public MLS does not have a field for this geographic area, and unless you are from the here, you may not be exactly sure of the boundaries for what the locals call west of Trail.

Want to search for homes in Palmer Ranch?  Beachfront homes? The Museum area? Lido Key? Downtown Sarasota? East County Manatee?  Not easy to do on the public MLS site, but davidbarrhomes.com has pages for each of these, and more, with up to date listings ready to browse.

Does anyone feel like social marketing is being shoved down our throats?  Advertising on Facebook and Twitter has yet to produce impressive results for most companies.  However, social media does play a meaningful role, in my opinion, in driving traffic to a website. Here is a fascinating graphic comparison of advertising on Facebook versus Google, which you can read here:  http://bit.ly/JHJ5LR So why am I blogging about this? As much as many in the real estate industry in Sarasota want to deny it, the days of Open Houses, magazine ads, and newspaper cl
