I was fortunate to have lunch with Pasadena real estate agent Irina Netchaev yesterday. Irina is an agent at Keller Williams Real Estate on Fair Oaks Ave. in Pasadena. Irina is something of a blogging and real estate website superstar, so I asked Irina if she would like to discuss the importance of a strong internet presence and why it's important for Pasadena home sellers.
Irina just returned from the Keller Williams Convention in New Orleans. At the conference she learned that now 90% of home buyers search on the internet before going out to look at homes. If your home isn't well represented on the MLS by beautiful photos, and lots of them, it may be dismissed with the click of a mouse.

Since 90% of home buyers search on the internet before going out to look at homes I definetly want a presence.
She did a wonderful job in the video! I love that you're incorporating them and would like to do more myself, I think they come across so well.
Mark/Tim: An impressive web presence is as important as having a Yellow Pages ad was 15 years ago. And having a strong web presence for your listings is paramount in getting a home sold.
Carole: This is the first one we did together, but more are definitely coming. I love giving the agents that hire me and embrace home staging an opportunity for more exposure.
In today's market with all of us using the web....it seems paramount to have a strong presence on the internet for marketing a home!!
Thanks for sharing Michelle! Web presence is huge if you want to market effectively.
Michelle, thanks so much for the interview. It was a lot of fun... Also, for those of you interested in seeing Michelle in action, take a look at her interview on home staging here.

Kathy Burke: So true, but many home owners still don't understand that.
Ryan: I agree
Irina: I really enjoyed doing the interviews as well. Thanks for posting my video on Pasadena Views
