One of the Top Visited Real Estate Websites
Ranked as the 100th most visited site by Americans, realtor.com has traffic above million per day and is an important source of realtor leads. Keyword Spy suggests the company pays over $31,000 daily on Google Adwords ads and that it bids on more than 111,000 unique keyword phrases.
Amazingly, Zillow.com has much more daily traffic as the graphics below reveal:
Consumers use the realtor.com site to search for homes and realtors use it to read news updates, learn sales and marketing tips, and read about home design and research statistics.
Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Phoenix, New York, Boston, Seattle, Miami, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, and Charlotte all have their own local MLS associations and they feed their homes for sale listings into the NAR database. This is why many homebuyers go to realtor.com to search. Toronto and Vancouver are governed by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) at realtor.ca.
Although the association is well known realty site, it is still dependent on Google for a good portion of its traffic. This means brand strength and ranking power for SEO is an important asset for NAR and realtor.com.
The fact that home buyers search for homes for sale or condos for sale on Google, is a big reason for creating unique content and optimizing that content for high rankings. If your current realtor marketing plan is not leveraging the power of organic search lead generation, then you’re leaving money on the table, and underlying your long term sustainability in real estate sales.

Relying on word of mouth networking today is really old school and providing diminishing returns. Other modern realtors will reach your old contacts and impress them with their value proposition. Your contacts and former customers are not a sure thing for future sales.
