As some of you know I am a Real Estate Appraiser first and Inspector second. I would like to get that a bit more balanced and I am always looking for new marketing ideas. Namely cheap ones!


I do a quarterly newsletter I send to the Realtors with the Real Estate Statistics from each city in our county. I had the idea of trying to do some bartering with the local 'Real Estate Book' to swap an ad for a monthly statistic section. Me providing them the stats.

My question is what stats would you like to see if you were looking for a new home? Average days on the market? Number of homes sold and listed? Average sales prices? What?

As an Appraiser I look at this differently so I don't fell I have a good fell for what Mr. Average buyer is looking for. Input please.

Hi Jeff,


My personal feeling is that price does not really matter to an HI, but is one of the mitigating factors to a buyer.
As an HI, number of propeties listed and sold, as well as number of days on the market is a good indication of business opportunities.
As a buyer this info. might be helpful as well because it would give them an indication of the popularity of the area and possibly an idea of future resale $$$$'s.

Hi Jeff,


Thinking about it , you could have a web sight featuring your Business, then promote Nachi and the inspections, why they are important on buying property.


Within your sight attach some good web sight addresses such as , 1)wunderground.com ,weather, 2) list each state , have a couple of good real estate web sights from that State .when you come to Maine you can list mine ( realty of Maine)…lol


Then have some seasonal photos you can change , this will get people coming back to visit the sight


Just some Maine Ideas .
