Online Real Estate Directories vs. On-the-Ground Realtors

Real Estate directories, because of their huge size and link structure, can pretty much dominante the search results a real estate buyer/seller gets when the set out to find property in a specific area.  The buyer/seller is really trying to find actual Realtors who are "on the ground"and have knowledge of a specific market-- that should be their first goal. And there are excellent reasons for wading through directory results to find an area Realtor... 

It's hard to imagine that a real estate directory produced thousands of miles away from a specific area (and more are coming out of Europe) can really give a buyer/seller good, honest and reliable information about area, prices, market-- and in the White Mountains, good information is crucial.  Why?

Because the White Mountains of Arizona is a wide and diverse area ranging from High Desert/scrub/volcanic debris fields to cool tall pines and magnificent views-- and there are homes for sale in all of those areas.  You need a Realtor who's walked those areas and can tell you which is which!

Granted, some Real Estate directories WILL attempt to connect you to a local Realtor-- but that Realtor is paying the directory to be a referral source.  So, you might not get as advertised, "The Best/Top/Finest Realtor in" so much as a Realtor who's paid to be a referral.

Bruce & Pam don't pay for referrals.  You will find us listed in directories, that's true.  But those directories have scooped us up scraping the 'net for links-- so no paid directories for us.

We hope you'll stop by our website White Mountains Realtor often and read our Web Log.  We'll be putting up specific information about The White Mountains as often as we can and hope to give people thinking about moving out here the scoop!
