Selling Your Home or Investment Property?
The new Home Buyer is an educated one and one who has done a lot of research long before they step away from the computer and step into a property. Yes, the computer!
Statistics show that over 87% of all Buyers start their search for real estate on the internet. After spending 10 years at AOL, Barbara is intimately familiar with the power of the internet. Upon her return to the real estate industry Barbara immediately built the award-winning website BeachByBabs.com and aggressively marketed that site on Yahoo, Google, AOL and MSN.
BeachByBabs.com now receives some of the highest traffic volume for visitors searching in the Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, and surrounding areas. All our listings are distinguished as Featured Properties on this site. Whatever page a Buyer may go to on BeachByBabs.com the �Featured Properties� link is always prominently visible.
In the Summer of 2006 AARP named Rehoboth Beach as one of the Top 5 Best Places to Retire. This created another large demographic that would be searching the internet looking for information about our area. In response,
Barbara developed and launched a new website - RetirementInDelaware.com. This site has proven to be an excellent investment, with traffic volume far exceeding all projections.
RetirementInDelaware.com has added a new dimension to our marketing reach. This site also has a direct link to BeachByBabs.com where all our listings are featured.
GolfCourseHomesDelaware.com - In late 2008 Barbara created yet another website to target that very discerning and much coveted demographic those �Lovers of the Links�. This website will feature the finest residences in the most sought after golf communities in Southern Delaware - Kings Creek Country Club, Rehoboth Beach Yacht & Country Club, The Peninsula of the Indian River Bay to name a select few. GolfCourseHomesDelaware.com will feature our listings in these and other golf course communities, and as with all our websites, have a prominent link to BeachByBabs.com where all our Listings are Featured.
OUR STRATEGY behind developing multiple proprietary websites is simple but very effective. First, each of the four sites has multiple links between them dramatically enhancing their standings in the search engines. And second, featuring specialized properties on individual sites both the buyer and the search engines will begin to designate these sites as �go to sites� or �favorites� for their respective specialties. It all boils down to enhancing our positioning on the internet which in turn puts your property in front of more and more buyers.
Realtor.com � We own 2 of the 8 Featured Property positions for Sussex County on Realtor.com. Realtor.com is the #1 internet site that people choose when beginning their search for real estate.
Prugallo.com � Our online marketing pledge ensures that you will not find a more technologically advanced on-line marketing program, managed by professional, experienced agents anywhere else in our market area. Listing with Prudential Gallo triggers your listing to be displayed thru-out the internet.
