Grab your tackle box and pole, and let’s go fishing!

 


THE BIGGEST FISH HE EVER CAUGHT WERE THOSE THAT GOT AWAY ~Eugene Field


Whether you are selling your Geist waterfront home, connecting with your friends, engaging in community service, or researching your family tree, one question remains: How will others find what I have to say?


Approaching the same topic from another perspective, buyers initiating their home search from the social web, may ask: How can I find what I'm looking for? Will they find your waterfront home on Geist reservoir or your new custom Carmel home near the Monon? 

During several speaking engagements in the past year about social media marketing, one common theme arose from participants at each event: What is SEO? They may not ask the question, directly, but their questions (or answer to their questions) point to the very topic which serves as an essential foundation to broadening & deepening one’s voice on today’s social web. And, these advanced on-line marketing skills are vital to you in selling your home in today’s market.

HEY WORLD! THEY’RE BITING OVER HERE!

Pretend for a minute we are fishing at Geist Reservoir or Morse Lake near Indianapolis, Indiana. We stand on the dock or row out into the center of the lake with our fishing buddies. Then each drops their line into the lake. One friend’s fishing line has no hook, the other friend’s pole has a hook with a plastic worm. But, you have cast your line to the optimum spot and the bobber is set for the hook to reach the very heart of a school of fish. Add to the optimum depth & lake location, a hook with the juiciest worm and strongest line. It was a fight to the end, but you nabbed the largest fish in the shortest amount of time.

I DIDN’T GO FISHING; I WET A LINE. ~ W.R. McIntyre, Sr.

You may ask: Is it possible to sell my home in today’s market and glean multiple offers? Yes.
Is it possible to sell my home in a matter of days? Sure. Does this happen by accident? Rarely.

Extraordinary results are due to advanced marketing skills relevant to today’s buyer. 

How does SEO matter when all you want is to 'Get It Sold'?
Interestingly, the social web is changing how people search. Respected marketing expert and author Bernie Borges from the Tampa Bay area shares in his popular blog & podcasts, SEO has become SO. I have experienced this first hand. Buyers no longer limit their on-line searches to popular real estate web sites or Google. I have had buyers find me through their trusted on-line communities like Linked-IN, Facebook, and Twitter. SEO is an acronym, which means: Search Engine Optimization. As an early proponent of digital media, I continually look for emerging technologies and principles which give my clients the best advantage in our challenging market. Advanced marketing skills make it possible for us to leverage Google & Bing maps for your property to be found near the top of organic search results.

Just as the juiciest worm, best hook, strongest line at the right depth fetches the largest fish, so too, powerful digital ‘bait’ serves to attract & hook the web crawlers for buyers to find your Indianapolis home for sale as their next dream home. 

THE CHARM OF FISHING IS THAT IT IS THE PURSUIT OF WHAT IS ELUSIVE BUT ATTAINABLE, A PERPETUAL SERIES OF OCCASIONS FOR HOPE. ~ John Buchan

Friday was a great day for me.  I was able to close my first listing, a Westfield homes for sale. That doesn't mean I haven't had many other closings throughout the year. Actually it's been a fabulous year for Indianapolis Real Estate. So, when I say that I closed my first listing, I mean that we've closed on the first listing I received as a new REALTOR.  I'm not bragging mind you, since I have had this listing since June 2008.  But considering it was an estate, needed some updating, and was an old farmhouse on an acre, it was a challenging project.  It was the best lesson I could have learned during my first real year as a Indianapolis REALTOR.  It taught me how important it is to have listings based on the amount of sign calls that I received.  I also found out how emotionally charged selling homes can be surrounding a family homestead. But, it's closed, I stuck with it, gave it everything I had, and lo and behold we closed! Success!  Check out my other listings and see what kind of deals we've got going on!

One of my favorites is in Westfield is the Crossings at Spring Mill Villages.

These homes for sale in Westfield Indiana are mostly two stories.  There are only a few ranches, and they do not turn over very often.  However, there is one ranch home for sale now, 350 Tansey Crossing. (Check out the beautiful virtual tour by clicking on the address link)

I have clients that have a wonderful home for sale in Westfield Indiana at 2404 Corsican Circle.  The interior amenities would be found in a designer model home.  I would love to have the sink that they have in their guest bath.  Travertine stone throughout the kitchen and African maple floors too.  The problem I come across in marketing this Hamilton County Indiana homes is that it is really hard to get the feel of the amenities from the pictures.  We hired a professional photographer to take the pictures but I really think that you are only going to get the feel of the property by walking through it.  As great as the Internet has become of instant information and allowing clients to see the whole house inside and out..sometimes you just got to go inside.  For more information on this fabulous listing contact me at 317.814.8216 or lphillips@c21scheetz.com

Hamilton County Indiana home values remain strong compared to most of the country with Carmel real estate and the Fishers area being the most frequently asked about.  Those are certainly great areas with great schools and amenities and should be considered in anyone's search for a home in Hamilton County.

But don't forget about Westfield.  There are many fantastic Westfield homes for sale and they are usually more affordable than either Carmel or Fishers.  The schools in Westfield are very good too and the city is doing a wonderful job of adding businesses, park areas and other things that make it a nice place to call home.

Here is just one example of a good value in Westfield.  The home was built by Beazer Homes just last year in a very popular neighborhood called Countryside.  It is in immaculate condition, comes with many, many upgrades, all the stainless steel appliances stay, it is over 3000 sq. ft. and is priced at just over $200,000.  Located just west of US 31 at 161st Street, Countryside is conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, grocery stores and with 31 nearby, you can get where you need to be quickly. You can find out more about this home and others by visiting www.sellwithsheets.com and clicking on my listings.

I had an interesting experience this week. A former client referred me to a friend that is looking for Hamilton County Indiana Homes. When I contacted this individual they told me that they did in deed want to look for Carmel or Fishers Real Estate but that they have a friend, who is a new Realtor, in an area 100+ miles North of Indianapolis that has offered to help them. This got me to thinking about the old saying that all Real Estate is local and the importance of working with a Realtor that knows the local market.

Since it was a friend of a friend I did not go into the list of reasons why it is unlikely that this individual can effectively help them find Carmel homes for sale or Westfield homes for sale or Fishers homes for sale and successfully complete the transaction.

As a licensed Realtor in the state of Indiana it is true that this individual can act as an agent in Indianapolis or anywhere else in the State of Indiana for that matter but it will be difficult.

To start with it will be  difficult for this individual, not being a member of our local real estate board, to effectively identify all of the Hamilton County Indiana Homes for sale that most meet the buyers specific criteria.

It will be difficult for this individual to identify the listing Realtor, schedule appointments and gain access to homes in Hamilton County Indiana to show to the buyer.

How much time can this person really devote to the home search if they have to drive over 100 miles each way.

How well can this person answer the buyers questions about shopping, schools, commutes, traffic patterns and etc.

It will be difficult for this agent to determine Carmel or Fishers or Noblesville Indiana Home Values in order to recommend a fair price for the property.

These are just a few of the reasons you need to work with a Realtor that knows the area and that is why I always refer friends to a good local Realtor if I am not familiar with the are where they want to buy or sell. Having said that if you are interested in buying or selling in this area, call me at 317-814-5287 or email me at TWarnick@C21Scheetz.com.
