Looking For a Few "More" Good Agents

I don't know if the market finally turned, but these last two weeks have been about the busiest we've seen in at least a couple of years. Most of the buyers I've talked with tell me that they feel it is time to jump on something now, before prices turn back the other way. I think they are probably right, and I also believe the first ones back in the market are going to end up doing pretty well in the long run.

I've mentioned during the past few months about the incredible amount of visitors and page views we have seen on the website this year. That gives a strong indication that people are interested in making a move to a lake place. But in the last couple of weeks, we have been absolutely inundated with leads coming from prospective buyers, so it seems that many of them are finally coming out of hiding.

Lakehomes.com has become a busy portal for waterfront properties, and each of our agents has the unique ability to act as an exclusive representative for his or her market area on the site. Because of our top search engine results, and the added exposure we can offer, sellers are increasingly aware of the value in having their property listed on Lakehomes.com. And our local experts help assure that these sellers understand realistic values in the ever-changing market we are in, so that this added exposure produces the best results for their clients.

But several of our agents have also become very busy with the recent influx of buyers who need help now. Besides wanting basic information on individual properties, many are asking for a knowledgeable agent to assist them in the purchasing process. They expect that Lakehomes.com agents will be able to fill that need, and we don't want to disappoint them!

At the present time, we have quite a few areas across Minnesota and Wisconsin where we could use some extra coverage. Many of our agents can handle large geographic areas quite well, but when they get busy it can be difficult to meet everyone's needs. We'd like to make sure that each prospective customer who requests information and assistance from us - whether buying or selling - gets it immediately.

If you would like more information on our company, just give me a call at 866-327-9889 to discuss how you might benefit from being associated with Lakehomes.com. Whether you are interested in acting as an Affiliate Agent for Lakehomes.com under your existing broker, or an actual agent for Lakehomes.com Realty, you will get the same exclusive rights to your market area. And most important, no matter which method you choose, your clients will get the exact same incredible exposure that Lakehomes.com has to offer.

I am curious about your professional opinion on a a topic. I would think that the lake home market could be split into two major markets 1. Lake homes (year round, modern ameneties, like a suburban home on a lake) and 2. Cabins (mostly seasonal but not necessarily, smaller, a true cabin)

am I accurate in this thinking, or how do you split up the lake home market? and if there are in fact two separate markets, which one is fairing better now. I just know when I see whats for sale many properties are just not what I would consider a "cabin" - i know everyone has a different idea of what that is but I know the markets attract diffent buyers.

Any thoughts/analysis would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
