The Importance of Online Marketing
• Home buyers use the Internet to search for a home more
than any other media.
• Home buyers say the two most important features are
photos and detailed descriptions.
• Buyers are nearly 5 times more likely to find the home they
purchase online rather than in the newspaper.*
