I always think it is interesting to learn what stocks a stock broker buys for them self or what car a car salesman drives.
Well, Dustin Luther and his real estate agent wife Anna Luther are selling their home in Seattle. Why does this matter? Well, Dustin and Anna are considered by many very influential people, to be leading the way in real estate blogging and online real estate marketing. (their blog)
They have just listed their Seattle home for sale as Dustin has been hired by Move.com for his work and expertise in the blogging world and is moving his family to California. I think it is very interesting to see what they have done to promote their home.
1. Posted their home in their blog
2. Linked to their home on Zillow.com that includes the Zestimate of their house
3. Linked to their home on Redfin.com
4. Posted their home on Craigslist.com
5. Posted their home on Google Base
6. Listed it on the Northwest MLS
I think that it is a great sign to see someone of their stature in the real estate and Internet worlds follow the suggestions that we have been giving to our real estate agents as well as utilizing the extra benefits that living in Seattle provides.
It will be interesting to see…
– what their home sells for?
– how close was Zillow’s zestimate?
– what posts drew the most traffic?
– where do the offers come from?
– what would they have done different next time around?
