Real Estate SEO/SEM


Real Estate Search Engine (SEO) & Internet Marketing Consulting

Let’s be realistic.

With the likes of online Real Estate websites  Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, Retrove, Redfin, Propsmart, Roost, HouseValues, DotHomes, Cyberhomes, Homegain, Homethinking, and every FSBO website out there, it’s a 80 degree uphill battle you face jumping into Internet Real Estate marketing.  You can’t simply start in any city without paying tons of money in consulting fees from “Online Marketing Experts” who usually don’t realize there are MANY other costs that a Real Estate agent has to deal with beyond online marketing.

Having worked BOTH as a Realtor AND Search Engine Optimization (SEO) consultant, I truly understand how to help Real Estate Agents of all types to improve their online marketing efforts.  Most SEO consultants ONLY understand their side of the business and fail to understand how the improvement in Internet Marketing affects the business of a Real Estate professional.  For new agents, I realize that you have to be frugal, but you also have to be smart enough to make that income you were expecting by jumping into the field.  It requires aggressive SEO techniques to achieve the original goals.  For veteran Realtors who have struggled to keep up with the online real estate gurus in their office, I can offer sound advice which can help you surpass even the folks who think they have the local online market all SERP’d up.  (more on SERPs when we start with your first free consultation)  And MOST importantly for any Realtor, you need prospective clients to call, email and contact you in any way in order for you to do your business effectively.  You don’t care about what’s necessary to get the consumer to contact you, but you simply need them to ask at least by reaching you somehow…and I’m the guy who’s going to help you get more clients to ask (online at least).

After a banner year in Real Estate and close to 9 years of Internet Marketing & Search Engine Optimization experience with companies like Google.com, Amazon.com and Expedia.com along with first hand SEO work with small businesses in Real Estate, Education and various other niches, I’ve decided to provide my SEO & Internet Marketing consulting services to select clients.  For customized service including:

ALSO, an SEO Industry first: Region Loyalty Guarantee - it is the first time someone in the SEO Industry has coined this, but also I’m probably the first to also promise this to clients because my intention is to give the best possible service to you, FOR YOU, and not your competitor.  As a result, I will work for NO MORE than 2 clients at a time targeting a specific metropolitan area.  For example, if you’re a Portland area Realtor needing help to dominate the Beaverton and Portland downtown areas, I will not work for another Realtor if possible and unless you agree, I will only work with a 2nd agent who I will work different areas of targeting.  As a result, you have a dedicated SEO professional who will not sacrifice your area for the sake of her/his business profits!

Accolades from previous work in the Real Estate Industry:

“This comment is to plug this poster. Not plug him up but plum him as a GREAT guy. I worked with Brandon for most of that year he was in RE. I have to say he was very instrumental at helping me get my career going. I considered him an internet and marketing guru. The great thing about Brandon is he gave you everything that made him successful. He truely wanted me and many other agents to succeed. He was and is an open book and he will let you read him anytime (as you can see by these blog postings). Even many months (Maybe years) after Brandon was out of the RE biz I would do a Google search for many RE terms/key words and I would find his site/s on the first page. Thank you very much Brandon for all of your help and knowledge and don’t let your limited time in the RE biz keep you from doing those RE marketing classes. I think its very impressive what you were able to do in that short amount of time.”

Thanks again!

“As our real estate agent, Brandon helped make our relocation from San Francisco to Seattle a flawless event. His extensive attention to detail, superb professionalism, and genuine trustworthiness made the purchase of our new home a great experience. Whether it be in real estate or any other field Brandon is involved in, I would not hesitate to have him on my team. Brandon’s multi-faceted skill set would be valuable in any arena he enters.”

“Brandon recently helped us purchase our house in Seattle this spring, and in a market that is as volatile as this one, it was good to have him working on our side. Throughout the entire process, Brandon was readily accessible to us, even taking panicked phone calls from us in the middle of the night, meeting us at a moment’s notice to look at houses that had just come on the market hours earlier and attending all essential meetings with us (and sometimes without us when necessary) as our agent — at all times representing our interests. Once we finally found a house to purchase, he was in constant communication with us, keeping us posted on every aspect of the transaction–from presenting the offer, working with our lender to ensure the financing went smoothly, inspections, escrow, forewarning us of potential pitfalls, etc. He consistently went above and beyond for us to ensure the deal went smoothly. Brandon is a great agent who respects and takes care of his clients. He is honest, professional, contentious and will at all times represent his client’s interest without compromise. He’ll teach you as much or as little as you want to know about real estate transactions and let you conduct the process as you’d prefer.”
