Summertime and the living is... hot...

Great Weather for Flowers

As if the heavens conspired against Golden Valley sales it rained, it rained and rained and rained nearly every weekend. Weekends are important to us, that’s when our buyers have time to come and see property, but most of them don’t want to get wet.  It was, however, great for the flowers.

Zillow News: If you're listed with McCall's you can see your listing on Zillow and see how your listing is preforming. Go to Zillow.com and type your address in the search window. It will open to your address page. At the top choose owner view, then scroll down and pick view metrics. Ta dah. You'll see how many people are looking at your listing online. Keep in mind this is only for Zillow. There are more than 1400 sites that will host your listing. Google your address and you'll see.

Zillow is an all-inclusive real estate platform but companies can opt in or out. I don't know why you wouldn't want your listings on Zillow, but some companies do not. Zillow is permission-based advertising and uses MLS data to present our listings to buyers. Buyers will see the listing with three or four agents acting as preferred. These are agents who pay for advertising, sometimes they might not know a thing about Bostic. When a buyer clicks through to ask an agent to contact them they may get three calls from three agents. If you want me click my picture or better yet, reach out to me directly.

What's for sale in the neighborhood? If you want to know what's for sale in Bostic neighborhoods go to McCallsRealEstate.com Click on Subdivision Search, there's a link at the top of the page, and another at the bottom/ choose your neighborhood and you'll see all the available inventory. Check out the competition anytime. FACT - Not every Realtor is in the local MLS. Some firms aren't in either the local or the regional MLS but belong to their own area MLS. While listing with an out-of-area agent will put your listing out on the major platforms, it will not put you in any of the local MLSs websites. If it's not in the local MLS it's not on my website, not in the MLS search or on any local websites. Remember, Real Estate is still a hyper-local business. Other agents are my best customers. Let me repeat - Other Agents are my best customers.
