MLS search

Living in Oklahoma City, I was happy to see the Google search phrase (mls search) bring up an OklahomaMLS.something on the top of the string. If I was a home buyer, it might have manipulated me to an avenue of buying a home. However, out of the first page of results, there wasn't any links that took me closer to an actual search of the Oklahoma City and Edmond area. Some of the links had Oklahoma Metropolitan listings advertised, yet there were no actual live searches.
I refined my search by adding Oklahoma and got better results. It's a long trip for Internet users who don't know a lot about searching for Real Estate. There are many capture pages and misleading highlights to lure them into an organization that will put the potential buyers in a system that does not require talking to a Realtor until all the personal information demands are met.
Unless you are experienced enough to buy your home without a Realtor, or have been a Realtor lately in the state you are buying your home, you will want to use a Realtor's service. Buying Agents do not charge for their service and are paid for their work by the Listing Agent's commission.
If your buying a home, I recommend that you contact a Realtor today and take advantage of the service they provide. Find one that communicates well with you, and you will help you move forward, and release you from spending a lot of time on the Internet.
Sincerely,
Rick Jackson

There are still some really nice new and used homes in the Meadows At Surrey Hills located at Hefner and Mustang Road in Yukon. Also there are several lots left to custom build a home to fit your needs.

This little neighborhood has it's own Elementary School with sports fields, and the Surrey Hills Golf Club is close enough to drive your golf cart to. The swimming pool should be open next summer along with the community club house. Great for booking birthday parties and other group functions. All of this with very low HOA dues.

Real Estate Marketing

This blog is not about Oklahoma City or Edmond area homes and real estate. It's about the companies that feed off of Realtors income. I'm sure your services function very well and are effective for some of my associates in the cyber world, but please don't insinuate that I don't know what I'm doing when I want to cancel a search phrase or a product with you.
I was recently sold a search phrase with a set up fee while driving to a closing. The sales person had found my contact information on Activerain and offered a sponsored link on a top search engine. I placed the ad and monitored my results for a month. According to the Marketing Company I had 33 clicks.
I received several calls in a two week period from different marketing companies wanting to sell me search phrases as sponsored ads. The more I thought about it, the clearer it became. These marketing companies search for a particular product service company. First of all, they find these companies on the internet by searching. Then they test phrases that are working well with search engines for the type of product that these companies offer. Then the search phrase marketing companies start calling the Businesses in each area. If you purchase such phrase, you pay for the sponsored ad for years, while it forces your original web link farther down the search engine list.These sales people are very skilled. My hat goes off to you at your selling abilities. Also like I said at the beginning, some Businesses need you. Just don't tell me what I need to do, and that I have to explain why I don't want to purchase anything. Would you want me to insist that you belong in a certain house, then make you explain why you shouldn't live their if it wasn't the home for you?
