What is One of the Oldest Real Estate websites in Naples Florida?

THE HISTORY OF NaplesRealEstate.com

 

 

 NaplesRealEstate.com is one of the oldest domain names in the industry. Originally developed in 1997, it has become one of the most widely used websites for gathering real estate related information in Southwest Florida.  Nearly 20 years ago, when Chip & Michele purchased this site, they knew that the Internet would have a revolutionary impact on the way consumers would conduct business.  Their forward thinking proved most successful.  Today approximately 60% of their buyer-controlled sales come from leads generated directly from this site.  This is an unprecedented statistic. 

 

NaplesRealEstate.com is not just a real estate website; in addition to doing complete real estate searches for Naples and the entire State of Florida, you can also link directly to many other popular and useful local websites.  You can link to government sites, private and public schools, airport arrivals and departures, movie theater schedules, shopping, restaurants, marinas and golf courses, just to name a few.  Because of these popular links, many of Chip & Michele’s customers and friends have made NaplesRealEstate.com a favorite, referring to it regularly. According to The National Association of Realtors, 92% of buyers begin their real estate searches online.  Few real estate companies can boast about their success online like The Harris-Peppe Team.

 

Over the years, The Harris-Peppe Team has kept pace with the changes and continue to maintain their Google 1^st page ranking through various search engine optimization and engagement of social media and blogging. NaplesRealEstate.com paves the way, and today you are encouraged to register and make NaplesRealEstate.com one of your favorites, too!

 

We are currently updating and redeveloping our website for the first time in 12 years. We welcome any suggestions you may have to improve its user friendliness and content! Click here to learn more about NaplesRealEstate.com and please follow us on Facebook and our other social media sites.

Thank you, and make it a GREAT day,

Facebook for Business

Personal Facebook Pages vs. Facebook Business Pages

Right on the top of my list of pet peeves is people using their personal Facebook page for business purposes. I can see an occasional posting about a long day at the office, or an upcoming open house...a comment about a really awesome customer, or an experience with a wonderful vendor---but I think it is important that users understand the difference. Business pages are more professional, plus you get special features such as ads, traffic stats and post scheduling features! I can't tell you how many times I open up my Facebook account only to see a "friend" marketing real estate on their personal page...The old 80/20 rule of social media should apply. Even on your Business page, 80% of your content should be about lifestyle, customer interest, local updates about restaurants and upcoming events in your area. Only 20% should actually be about your product!

 

 

Here are a few tips from The Naples Real Estate Blogger to make sure your Facebook strategy is on target:

 

1. For those of you in the real estate industry, it's worth mentioning again: Don't use your personal Facebook page to highlight your real estate services. Get a Facebook Business page!
2. Post about your neighborhood or farm area. Let people know your passion for this community.
3. Post as many images as possible--I suggest at least one every day! Images are more apt to create engagement, which is the #1 reason we post to begin with...The more images you post, the more likely your posts will get shared or commented on, and the more likely they will be viewed by your followers and friends of followers.
4. Use geo-targeted ads and pay extra to boost certain posts.
5. Ask questions! People love to share their opinions.
6. Highlight area vendors who have helped your business. It's one of the nicest compliments you can give; to tell your fans about a good experience, especially when it is unsolicited! 
7. Comment on other business pages. Share and tag! Recognize someone's accomplishments. Congratulate a job well done...Engage, engage, engage!
8. Quotes and positive affirmations are always fun to share.
9. Jokes are fun, too, but keep it clean--remember, it's your business page! 
10. Watch grammar and spelling. DETAILS matter!

Facebook is still the largest social network site. I hope this post has helped motivate you to take the next step towards creating a business page!
