One of the things I pride myself on as a Listing Agent is the power of my internet marketing program. When I meet with potential sellers in the Maple Valley area, I am able to demonstrate to them through statistics and anecdotes how an effective internet marketing strategy, combined with an experienced eye on local trends can help them be successful, even in today’s market. One of the features I offer to website visitors is the ability to sign up for automatic Listing updates for the Maple Valley market. A few weeks ago I received an email from a soldier in Iraq who had signed up to have new listings emailed to him. He is researching different communities in the Seattle area, trying to determine where he and his family will settle when he comes home. Here’s a snippet of his email: We really do have a broad geography. I am looking for good schools from Bonney Lake to Lake Stevens. Maple Valley is the center and your web-site kept turning up every time I searched on “Maple Valley”. (Emphasis added by me) On a weekly basis I have people visiting my various websites and blogs from New York to Texas
