Real estate agents need to use every resource the internet offers to attract eyeballs to their customers listings. One way to do that is to upload each one individually to the major search engines. Ahh, but there is a better way grass hopper. It's called vflyers. There are a few other services out there. I use vflyers and have loved the results.

So here's how it works. We all create nice looking hard copy brochures for our listings right? What if you could create that same brochure electronically and instantly upload it to all the major search engines in seconds. Literally, before you get those flyers in the box outside the home, they will be covering the globe in easily downloadable format.

The best part? Vflyer tracks all the visitors for you. It's like being able to see all the people who drive by the house looking at the flyer, how long they stayed, and what they were wearing (not quite that good, but close). It's a super awesome tool to be able to send over to your seller's once a week.

TIP: When creating your vFlyers you REALLY need to focus on the Title and description. I wouldn't recommend simply using the property address. Do some keyword research with Google's keyword tool, or whatever free tool you prefer, and then focus your title on that. For example: I recently helped another agent in our office create a vFlyer, for some large ranch listings he has near Telluride, CO. We used headlines like, "Telluride Horse Property" and "Southwest Colorado Large Acreage". Now, if you type those into Google we are on the first page like three times! Sure, they aren't the most competitive terms, but it works. There are other local real estate firms paying money to be there!

What About Craigslist or eBay? I'm glad you asked. Vflyer creates the html code that you simply right click and paste right into Craigslist and eBay to instantly put the flyers on those sites as well. I can't imagine why a real estate professional would not do this. It requires no tech skills at all because vFlyer has tutorials that walk you through each step. The monthly fee is pennies compared to what you get. I sold one property from this service and it paid for my monthly fee for ten years, literally.
