Just recently I called four real estate agent companies and asked them one question out ofrepparttar yellow pages and it was amazing what I discovered andrepparttar 120302 way I was treated. One agent took my name and number, promised to call back, and never returned my call untilrepparttar 120303 next day with kids and dogs screaming inrepparttar 120304 background. It took me seven more tries to find an agent that could answerrepparttar 120305 one question correctly (the way NAR said it needs to be answered). Out of 12, 8 answered incorrectly, and four of them you could tell were "winging"repparttar 120306 answer.

What are you doing to make yourself different? Communication skills need to be a big consideration. There are three major Internet communication items that makerepparttar 120307 determination of whether they are going to contact you or pass you up for another web site.

1. Clear communication and instructions onrepparttar 120308 web site. This happens most ofrepparttar 120309 time through linking. You ask visitors to click here but all they have is an underline onrepparttar 120310 word. Say "click here for." The other item is that what are they going to get or find if they click there? Is it perfectly clear. Where are they going to go if they click there? Isrepparttar 120311 link taking them to another site, another page? The why, why do they need to go there, why do you want them to go there. What is their benefit for clicking there.

2. Ease of use. Isrepparttar 120312 navigational system ofrepparttar 120313 site easy to use for visitors. Some people are very visual and by giving them an overall view of what they can find -- either in words or in a diagram eases their comfort level. The more comfortable they feel atrepparttar 120314 web site,repparttar 120315 more comfortable they are going to be takingrepparttar 120316 call to actions you have designed onrepparttar 120317 site. Create Step 1, 2, and 3s to handhold them through a process.

3. Provide details. Again, something similar to what I said in #1. Be clear, give details on what will happen if, where they will go next, or what they can expect to get or know by this. Removerepparttar 120318 scariness of unknown quantities and expectations. Lead visitors through your site. Give them a handshake and don't let their hand go and walk them through allrepparttar 120319 processes they came to accomplish. How are you different than other agents -- spell it out with details.
