EW, can we talk about the clients that found you through the internet? What is the name of your site in English? Did you give a lot of thought to the name so that it would pop up when searched? What do you think?

Edelweiss, This may sound strange, coming from an artist such as myself, but I would go with a realtor that is a "no junk," web site, the get to the point, professional looking, non musical type of site. I would take the purchase of my next home very seriously and would want to think of my realtor to be rich in experience and polished in presentation. I would want her to be sure footed and perfectly at home with things like numbers and facts. I would like photos but not too many photos that are there just for decoration, more the classy photos as well, not the "homey," type of photos that one sees at times.
It is easy to put myself in this situation because I just got done working with a realtor and she was very pragmatic compared to me which worked rather well.
Buying a home, esp. now, well here in America, that is, is serious and a big step!
Just my own style, Dancer9

That is alot of work, Edelweiss. Hope you generate sales more painlessly if people can preview virtually.
Your site has a distinctly ..GERMAN feel. I can't explain it, Edelweiss. It shows that you have lived in Germany for many decades.
The whole feel reminds me of being in my partner's mother's homes over the past decade or so, when she was healthier and younger/living on her own. She did have contemporary taste..bauhuas and sleeker Scandinanvian look in furniture lines. Are you aiming towards a particular market in Germany?
I'm just responding in a gut feel kind of way.

Dancer, I certainly hope I misunderstood you, or are you calling my web site “Junk”?
I think many of my past clients, which include hotel owners, wellness spas, castles and senior residence landlords, would vehemently back me up in saying my personal and professional way to do business is why they granted me solo contracts in the first place.
When people look to buy a house, it is usually a happy occasion. And I like to mirror that feeling, instead of copying a cold financial bank site. My real-estate agency is not a franchise like Remax. And I’m no department store, offering thousands of real-estate sites. I like to think I’m like the personal boutique, with the personal service. In my 17 years of practicing real-estate; I’ve never been called unprofessional.
Of course I don’t expect everyone to like my site. You can’t argue about taste. Still it would have been nice if you were more tactful with your wording, instead of giving those under the belt blows.

Edelweiss, your website is clearly more for family-oriented clients. Very different from the slick ads where there's this gorgeous couple and women is wearing a satin dress.. those depictions of people amuse me.

Got the darn home page finished! [Re: Edelweiss] #153375 - Fri Apr 25 2008 03:35 PM (84.155.210.62) Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply Well get out the champagne glasses! I’m finally finished with my homepage. It was a long hard process. Never thought it could be so complicated. Now that that is over, the REAL work begins.
If you would like to take a look, the web address is:
www.immobilien-schwarz.de
I don’t have too many homes to sell…but I hope that will change soon.
Is it possible someone read the initial post and skimmed through the rest of the thread, or didn't read it at all, either way not giving the site, www.immobilien-schwarz.de , a look-see , before interjecting comments?

Hi Gims and thank you. I think you helped clarify this misunderstanding. Although you didn’t look at my site, Dancer, you described it pretty well, as one of those junk sites with music backgrounds and such. But no matter, I took it the wrong way I guess. And I’m sorry as well for jumping to conclusions. Shake hands? All is well with the world. Orchid, I sell commercial real-estate as well. Hey, I’d sell an outhouse if you gave it to me.

I think that's what happens sometimes. People don't take the time to look before commenting on something. Your website, dear Edelweiss, is a true class act and you should be very happy and proud of it! I've bookmarked it so my hubby can take a look. I told him it would soothe his Germany yearning and home sickness....or make it worse! Again, great job!!
