Lead Generation companies...the names like home gain,house values and others come to mind.What are these companies? They are the middle men in the profession of real estate...They harvest buyers and sellers on the Internet and then sell them to Realtor's across the country...
While there is nothing legally wrong with this business model there is one thing I have noticed...The accuracy of their information for the consumer is not quite up to par!
While searching online I came across one particular real estate lead generation site that lures consumers in and noticed some glaringly Wrong information...for one they had Redding in the wrong state...at the top they had Redding California Shasta County but the whole page talked about Florida??
My point is this....there is a lot of information on the Internet these day....having the most accurate information on an area of interest from a LOCAL Realtor is of upmost importance...Why local you ask?Because it is the people that are in real estate every day and live and shop locally that know the "local" market best...PERIOD....
Accurate info....communication and choices...all good things that lead to a great real estate transaction when an experienced and knowledgeable Realtor is selected to help with the process...
