And a Powerful Real Estate Marketing Expert Too?
In our previous post we began a discussion about selecting a web-savvy real estate agent. This post will dig deeper into the reasons why the agent you select to market your Gwinnett County home should maximize the power of the Internet to your benefit. In the past, real estate agents were viewed as gate-keepers of information. In today’s online world, agents must be considered local neighborhood experts and masters of real estate marketing too. Remember, when selling your Gwinnett County home, it’s all about your home attracting as many eyeballs as possible. It really is a numbers game. The more people exposed to your home, the greater chances of it selling quicker and possibly for more money. That should be the primary reason agents provide websites – to your benefit. Then you, the consumer, can determine which Gwinnett County real estate agent is the right fit for you and your transaction.
The Power of Multiple Local, Regional and National Real Estate Websites
In today’s competitive Gwinnett County real estate market, you really need an agent who understands how to maximize the power of the Internet for your benefit. That means your web-savvy agent should be taking advantage of many high-traffic local, regional and national online portals.

It’s so exciting to see your new site up and running. You’re so right . . .that REALTORS need to be website savvy! Most buyers and sellers are going to the internet before ever contacting an agent. Local knowledge of areas and professional expertise are vital. Agents who are not using the internet to market . . .could easliy be left behind.
