Tailored online marketing campaigns (3 cases)
Victoria: I am running a private sales campaign for a friend which includes agent listing (7000+ views) at http://www.realestate.com.au/property-acreage+semi+rural-vic-glenmaggie-109542546. This real estate website gets 20 000 visits per year. It ranks well without paying for position.
Manly West (Qld): Its best to pay for position with a larger picture to make it to page 1. Just look for the shading of the listings and you will know that page one is occupied by those who have paid for their position. If we super size the add we will make it for page one on realestate.com.au and quite likely stay there. Click on . . . http://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-manly+west,+qld+4179/list-1
Maleny (Qld): In the residential section there are pages of paid listings on realestate.com.au. If you sell your house there you would have to super size the listing to make it to page 1, but for Maleny commercial property the market is so small that it would be a waste of money to pay for an enhanced listing.
How to find good agents:
Look online for the agency with the most properties sold in the postcode you are interested. Then phone them up and ask for the manager to give you the name of the best selling agent. Then ask the agent how he will tailor your ad campaign.
