Independent, non-franchised real estate firms in St. Louis
Nolting Real Estate
Did you know that 49% of Realtors in St. Louis and the United States are not affiliated with national franchises? This data comes from the National Association of Realtors.
In other words, about half of all Realtors are associated with Boutique real estate firms. Prior to the internet phenomenon, boutique Realtors were at a great disadvantage. They simply couldn’t keep up with the economies of scale enjoyed by the bigger firms – marketing materials, ads in the Post-Dispatch, signage, etc.
This has all changed in the past few years. If you’re selling your St. Louis home in 2009, you need to focus on working with an experienced Realtor who has many sales under his/her belt, regardless of their affiliation. Why? Because the high-volume Realtors have the resources to market your property online. We have multiple websites which syndicate your listing all over the internet. My St. Louis Listing website for Nolting Real Estate is Search Engine Optimized and broadcasts your listing to scores of real estate websites, sites like Oodle.com, Google Base, Trulia, Zillow.com etc. The typical Realtor does not have the resources to use websites like mine.
My Home Guide St. Louis website for Nolting Real Estate is a lead capture site that brings me buyers. I have stealth sites the drive traffic to my site. You can search for your St. Louis home on these sites. You can request your St. Louis home’s current value. This is especially important in a recession.
This blog is search engine optimized to create more traffic.
The bottom line is you need to research your Realtor, not the franchise he/she with whom he/she is affiliated. For more information, call Russell Nolting at 314-267-2636. Or shoot me an email at Russ@NoltingRealEstate.com
