real estate for selling and buying properties.. i have started a website www.keralarealmarket.com , now i want to have more traffic into that web page and i expect income from both advertisements and brokerage for selling and buying of properties by our clients. how can i run the site successfully?
I have no idea where you are located, as the place names are unfamiliar to me.
However, there are a few things that are important for a real estate website:
1. Provide the opportunity for website visitors to find properties they are interested in. I visited your site and it seems that you are already doing this. However, if it is possible to provide photos, this would be an enhancement. Website visitors like to see photos of properties. And make the photos descriptive and pretty.
2. I’m not sure what percentage of people where you are look at the internet for real estate, but if you want to get your website on the first page of results for your area, look into Pay per click or sponsored advertising. To get in natural results takes time, at least 6 months or even longer. Study Search Engine Optimization (SEO) so that you can make your website search engine friendly as well. Also use your domain name in your advertising (in the newspaper or elsewhere) so that before your website shows up in search engine results, people begin to become aware of your website.
3. Provide a sign in sheet for website visitors to request more information. This is essential so that you can capture contacts and follow up with them. And do follow up. Create a dialogue the same as you would in person. Many people who visit websites for real estate in the US are "just looking". Thus make your sign in sheet voluntary to avoid a lot of fake email addresses and contact information. If your sign in sheet is voluntary, you can interpret visitor sign ins as possibly being "almost" ready to purchase. Sometimes you have to follow up with people for a long time before they are ready to purchase.
4. Create a newsletter or something with good information about real estate in general or in your area that you can send to your contacts each month. For those who are not yet ready to purchase, this will remind them of you so when they are ready, they will contact you (hopefully).
Getting real estate business for the internet is a tricky thing. The most important thing is to give people the information they want, follow up quickly and keep in touch with the people who do sign in at your website.
Good luck.
jones or tayler county txas. this is near abilene texas
Go to the county office, the county secretary or clerk should be able to help you. They usually have a lot of properties left over after the tax auctions. I’m about to start purchasing some of these homes myself from different counties. I hope this helps you
unpermited add on’s and coversions. i just found this out. i have about a 500 neg cash flow on it and im guessing its gonna cost big money to get the changes legal and permitted. im thinking of giving up the property to the mortgage company. what are my options?
the county is aware of it.
Is the county telling you to fix it? Before you consider giving it up, get some estimates on bringing your home up to code. It may seem like alot of changes/modifications, but an estimate will give you a clear picture of whether it’s worth keeping your home or not. Generally it’s not all that much to get an addition/modification permitted if the addition was done properly.The market won’t stay this way forever, and homes generally increase in value over time, so you may find out that your best bet would be to hang in there, get those estimates, see if the county will give you time (if they’re harassing you about it), and see if a lender or your lender might work with getting you the money you may need to make the needed corrections. Otherwise, if the county is not pushing the issue, make the corrections as you can afford to. A house up to code is worth more than a house that isn’t. If you have equity in your home and can afford to refi, then it might be a good idea to do so and keep your home. To do a deed in lieu of foreclosure is what I’m thinking you’re thinking, where you hand the keys to your lender and walk away from the home, but that is a decision the lender would make, and at this time many lenders are trying to have their clients stay in their homes rather than take them back. Lenders generally don’t want the hassle and expense of trying to resell the home. A foreclosure would mess you up big time with your credit. It would take at least 2 years before you could try again to get a home. Hope this helps, good luck

I really liked a home i saw on the market it has been on the market for over 8 months i offered more then the asking price they told us that the home is contingent.we were told that the home would be closed on the tenth but we still see the property listed as active on different web sites our realestate agent tried calling them again several times and they won’t answer his phone calls what actions can we take if any to find out whether or not the house was closed on?
yes they did tell us that they would present our offer .
We need much more information to determine what is going on.
What you have experienced is not necessarily fraud.
I cannot imagine a seller or the listing agent of a seller who is trying to sell their property, refusing to acknowledge a serious offer that can close escrow, especially where the offer is over the price that they are asking for the property.
However if the listing agent does not think that you can get financing, the listing agent will not want to take the property off the market and tie it up in escrow if it appears that you will not be able to get financing and be unable to close the escrow.
Also, even though youu said your offer was over the asking price there may have been other offers even higher than yours.
Even though the property had been on the market for eight months, the real estate market was very slow several months ago, but now in the area where I live, large numbers of buyers have recently come out from the shadows and many houses on the market now have multiple offers with offers over the list price.
Also, it is not clear to me what the sale was contingent upon.
By contingent, did you mean that your offer was a back up offer behind another offer that was scheduled to close on the tenth and the contingency was that if that transaction fell through yours would be placed in first position?
Or, if yours was a back up offer were there a number of back up offers? If so was your offer behind another back up offer?
Or did you mean that your offer was in first position to close on the tenth, but did not close?
Were you able to get financing? If not your offer would not have been accepted even if it was over the asking price.
In that case the property would still be on the market because the seller’s agent does not think that you can get financing and does not want to tie up the property in escrow if the listing agent for the seller thinks that you will not be able to close escrow because you will not be able to get financing.
Also where did you see the property advertised for sale?
You note that it was on a number of web sites. Many of the internet Web sites do not remove the property after it has been sold.
Part of the reason for this is that the moderators do not clean up the information of the site and the seller’s agent does not take tihe time to report the sale to all of the sites that they advertised the house on. There are many internet Web sites that advertise real estate. The listing agent may have the property advertised on 10 or more internet Web sites.
In many cases the agents have forgotten which sites they had the house advertised on and forget to notify the site when the house is sold.
I have found houses advertised for sale on the internet long after they had been sold because the listing agents forgot to notify the Web site that the house had been sold and to remove it from the site.
To find out whether the property was closed, the most reliable source is to visit The County Recorder’s Office in the County where the property is located.
Look up the property in what is known as the grantor/grantee index. The grantor is the seller and the grantee is the buyer.
There usually is an index that you can use to look up the name of the seller of the property in that index, if you have the correct address of the property.
Then look up the name of the seller in the grantor/grantee index to see if the seller has transferred the property.
If the seller has transferred the property you will find the record of the grant deed that the seller signed over to the buyer.
Find out what area you want to live in. Then hope in your car and drive around the area. Look for signs in front of houses.
Agents are a dime a dozen. If you chose one ask for recent referrals. Also go with one that is an area specialist.
There might be some that are for sale by owner. That person is trying to save money.
If you need a loan send an email my way. My husband can answer all your loan questions.
GOOD LUCK.
I invest and sell the properties only.

I want to buy foreclosed or abandoned realestate in Jackson County , or within Kansas City, Misiouri… I ride around all the time looking at empty buildings… how do I get a list of properties from the county tax office regards these properties.
you would need to search by lender like bank of america or citi but there is just not a full list at the deeds office. Now all reo’s will at some point be placed into the hands of a realtor
