New Ubertor website coming soon!

I`ve decided to take the plunge and start paying some money for a website. The original intent of my Wix site (www.sairawaters.com) was to have an online presence and present my listings. It looks pretty but it`s really not functional. Being a flash site, the search engines don`t even pick up the text from the site. I think the only way you would find it on Google is by searching my name. Not very effective at picking up new clients or leads.

With Ubertor, I hope to keep the prettiness of my website but add more functionality. So far things are going well. I`ve asked Mike Blaney (www.mikeblaney.com) to help me get started.

I`m looking for beautiful photographs of Victoria and the surrounding area for the flash banners along the top of the site. So far I have 3 photos but I`d love to get more. If you know a photographer who has some shots I could purchase for the site, please contact me.

I have big plans and big goals for 2011. It`s going to be critical to have a website that doesn`t take up so much of my time! Stay tuned for more blog posts (on my new site!)

Sneak preview below :)

Good Case of the Mondays

The first of the month is always an interesting time. It’s a day to look back on the previous month and reflect on what the market did and where it’s going. Today being November 1st, and also a Monday, means our Victoria Real Estate Board stats are available and timely. There were 467 sales in October (934 ends) which is an improvement from last month’s 395 sales. In my opinion, things are looking up for the Victoria market. Open houses have been busier, phones have been ringing and listings are selling. For anyone who’s trying to sell their home, hang in there! It can be stressful when you don’t know what to expect, but you have to trust that everything will work out.
