I need to start this post by saying that I do a lot of legal work for the realtors at Virtual Homes, and I am extremely friendly with some of the principals of the Company. One principal, Lynda Longmire, and I have been friends and business colleagues for more than thirty years. All of that being said, I am literally knocked off my feet by the website, www.virtualhomes.com. It is my belief that the approach developed in this website is a template for virtually all Buyer transactions in the future.
The Virtual Homes website is powerful because it furnishes would-be Buyers with a plethora of information about a community in which they might have interest. This not only includes statistics about the town in question, but also recent newspaper articles concerning real estate. The maps of current listings really give a potential Buyer a great sense of what is available and where.
The reason this website works is that it uses the age old networking concept that “givers gain”. Virtual Homes provides so much information, assists so much in the pre-selection process that a person who uses the site is more than willing to work with Virtual Homes agents to finish the transaction. The “trust” which we are all seeking in our professional endeavors is established early in the game.
I urge all of my Active Rainmakers to look at this site and tell me you have seen a better initial presentation of real estate anywhere in the United States. I certainly have not!!!!
