* free listing to key industry portals realestate.com.au, homehound.com.au, myproperty.com.au, domain.com.au, etc
* extensive additional IT spread through his personal and syndicated network of websites, domain names and use of search
 engine optimisation techniques - this brings over 600 buyers each week to visit his listings, all in addition to average agent listings whom use the basic industry portals, as everybody does - the point of difference clearly illustrated.

 
 
Performance Report - Point2 Homes report the following consumer views to my listings on this website for
January to March Qtr 2012 - on average, I experienced 878 visits  per week, ie 11,414 in total  to my houses and units for sale  in the Coolum and surrounding areas, all on top of whatever everybody else does with realestate.com.au and domain.com.au. And this is in a tough market!
- ask for the audited reports, or  just google Coolum real estate, Coolum Beach real estate, Mount Coolum real estate or houses for sale and see Geoff`s site comes up on the first page or close to for proof positive as to how this happens.
Ask an agent what SEO means in terms of web search  results. If he/she doesn`t know, what hope them in the IT world.

Check out where buyers come from - if your agent is not into serious internet marketing, he/she is not into maximising your Buyer Reach and Sell Price

My Agent Report Card - How to Maximise your Sell Price


 When making a major selection such as the right school for the kids, the right builder for your house, or a new employee for your business, it is hard to imagine you would not check on their past performance to see what sort of a job they will do for you.

                       Why is selecting a real estate agent any different?
 
You need to focus on past performance and what marketing and negotiation skills and resources they possess, not handouts and gimmicks.
Unless you Reach the Buyer and are an experienced Negotiator, you simply can`t deliver the best result. Interrogate your agent to ensure you select the best equipped and performed.
