 So, you are ready to put your Indianapolis home on the market and you don't just want to list it, you want to 'Get It Sold'! What do crawling spiders and juicy worms have to do with attracting buyers to your property? What is spider food for web crawlers and fish bait for home buyers? 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

It is not surprising with what is going on in today's market that Indianapolis REALTORS get many requests for Indianapolis Houses for Rent to Own.  It can be very beneficial to both seller and buyer if the terms can be agreed upon and turns into a win-win for both.  Many times prospective buyers have a year out for financing due to the tightening of the banks credit requirements for example.  Many buyers/tenants do not want to have to move again in a year and really want to find the perfect home right now.  Sellers need to get a contract to either move or stop paying for a vacant home.  With a rent to own option, or otherwise known as a lease option purchase the buyer gives the seller an amount of money known as option money.  This money goes towards the agreed upon purchase amount and is non-refundable if the buyer cannot or will not purchase the home.  This forces the buyer to have some money invested in the final outcome.  Both parties sign a purchase agreement and lease.  Both these contracts protect the buyer and seller and landlord and tenant.   If you need any more information on homes that offer this type of financing please contact me at lphillips@c21scheetz.  This great home on the east side of Indianapolis is offering this type of financing.

Geist Reservoir is a Reservoir man made out of Fall Creek in Northeast Indianapolis and Southeast Fishers, Indiana. The area is home to many Indiana local celebrities, politicians, and professional athletes. As a East Fishers Resident myself, I enjoy all Geist Reservoir has to offer. There is a marina and a waterfront Restaurant named Bella Vita. The public marina has boat slip rentals that run from approximately $1200-$2500 a season. Since I do not live directly on the lake, I have leased a slip here for over three years and enjoy it very much. I typically put my boat in April and take it out in the end of October every year. On the lake you can enjoy skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, and just taking a casual boat ride around the lake. Bella Vita serves Italian/Seafood American food and is very good. There are several other bars and restaraunts in the marina area including Puccinis and Eddy's as well. For non boaters there are many walking trails and other attractions such as rolling hills and wooded areas to be enjoyed by all.

For Indianapolis Indiana Homes for sale Geist has many opportunities. The most expensive currently available is over 11,000 sq ft for over 3.7 million. The lowest priced home on the lake is priced around $320,000 and it is in the Intracoastal of Geist section. There are many Indianapolis condos on the market as well starting at $235,000 in Shorewalk to approxmately $600,000 in Marina Village. There are still several lots available to build the home of your dreams as well. Homes on the main body of the lake tend to be more expensive and homes on the coves are less. Several of my client's prefer the coves for they are quieter during the boating season due to the coves being "no wake zones". The views on mainbody are hard to beat and with Real Estate prices being reduced significantly in the current buyer's market there are many options to choose from. If you are looking to live near the lake but not on it there are many less expensive options as well with some have deeded boat docks.

I am an expert Geist Realtor and I would be personally happy to show you homes anytime or answer any questions you have about the area and Indianapolis Real Estate for Sale. We sell many homes in the area and represent many buyers in purchasing homes as well. Myself and my group are available anytime at 317-513-7695 or 317-679-0108 or you can email us at aneal@c21scheetz.com  In the warmer months we give boat tours of the lake as well for our Real Estate clients. If you currently own a home you can also call me, Andrew Neal with The Andrew Neal Group at CENTURY 21 Scheetz anytime at 317-513-7695, and I would be happy to give you an approximate value of your home.  You can also visit us on the web at www.DealwithNeal.com.
