Real Estate Marketing Success Stories
~CONTINUED~
I have had the privilege of using Kathleen Allardyce and her company Build Real Estate Results in getting www.BurrowsProperties.com started on the web. This is not the first time that I have employed her services and in fact, the reason I returned was the way I was treated, the quality of work and expertise given to me in building a previously owned website.
From the beginning Kathleen made it all about me, my concerns and needs in building a quality website. She became acquainted with me through a questionnaire and telephone conversations. She kept me in the loop from the onset and throughout the entire process utilized my involvement from choosing colors, to choosing a logo and the creation of various pages.
The difference in how I used Kathleen’s services this time involved having her act as the liaison with the graphic designers in developing a logo and branding for the website. Someone recently asked me, “isn’t building a logo something you could have developed yourself?” My response was an emphatic “yes”.
On the other hand, I am convinced I would not have ended up with the artistic, professional and expressive logo that now appears on the website. Kathleen very professionally assessed my Real Estate needs and then took over. All I had to do on occasion was give her an opinion or suggestion. She developed the product for me while I had time to continue working my business. Why would I want to work in an area that is not my strength when I can use someone like Kathleen whose strength excels in this area?
I recommend Kathleen and Build Real Estate Results without any reservation whatsoever. By the way, she’s proven to me again and again that she is around after the sale, too. How refreshing…..

Thank you, thank you! It is better than I expected and I love the "Festive Look" that you created. You are most surely a Web Designer that listens to her client’s wish list. The site looks wonderful, and I am very proud of it.

My name is Sabrina Fokas. I'm an Exclusive Buyers Broker in the Prairieville Louisiana Real Estate market, and I service the Baton Rouge and surrounding area(s). Though I had been in real estate for about 3 1/2 years prior to opening my own brokerage, I had no idea about websites, marketing, etc. I found Kathleen and it has been an extraordinary experience for me. Not only has she optimized my website, but she has basically held my hand every step of the way. I have learned a tremendous amount from her and I'm satisfied with the fact that I took a chance with Getting It Write, Inc.!
Since optimizing my website, I have generated on average 242 unique visitors every 10 days, as opposed to the previous average of 157 unique visitors every 10 days. The BEST part of what Kathleen has done is the "stickiness factor", which is VERY important. I have gone from an average of 18 repeat visitors in 10 days to a WHOPPING average of 221 repeat visitors in 10 days!!! Staggering statistics if you ask me. It's very very important to have repeat visitors. Just getting visitors isn’t getting the job done if they do not return.
I’m currently seeing 30 “hot leads” a week from the site. Way to GO Kathleen! Kudos to you times 2 for Getting It (Right) Write!!!!

Kathleen, I just wanted to thank you once again for the bang up job you did on my website. You literally took the words right out of my mouth and popped them onto my website...you said what I've been trying to say all along. Feel free to use me as a testimonial to your great work. Thanks so much.

I shopped around and I found the fee structure to be fair as compared to competitors. I feel that I received value for my investment due to the added traffic to my site. [Note: the first month after the site update, visitors increased 300%, going from an average of 4 per day to 14.]
I feel as if I have gained a friend I can trust while working on my website. I love the design and have received several compliments from friends and clients. Kathleen’s customer service is excellent. Whenever I had a question, she took the time to answer it in terms I could understand, and I never felt as though the conversation was being rushed or cut short. I would definitely refer Kathleen to anyone who wanted to make their real estate website work harder.

I am very pleased with what I received for my investment in working with Kathleen!! The content she wrote for my website was well-written and creative. I am happy with the design she put together using standard graphics, and I have been getting very positive feedback about my website. She has been exceptionally responsive, and has a great knowledge base. I will definitely refer Kathleen to my associates.

My leads have doubled since Kathleen worked on my site. She can take a few notes and turn them into something productive [on my Get to Know Me page]. The wording is so important because people want to know who they are working with and if they can trust them. All I had to do was tell Kathleen what I was thinking, and she took it and ran with it. She was great to work with.
I am now using an Assistant. I have doubled my leads in no time, and I’m getting calls, not just e-mails. I would highly recommend that if you are looking for some assistance on your site, call Kathleen.

What an improvement! You showed me how badly I need the assistance of a professional like yourself. I knew the website wasn’t what I wanted, but didn’t know what to do to get there. You did in an evening what probably would have taken me weeks - and that’s if I could have thought of it. Which obviously I couldn’t. I can’t thank you enough!

Kathleen did a great job in understanding my business and the goals I have set forth. She was able to quickly gain an understanding of how I work and how my customers feel about me. Kathleen is very down-to-earth, professional and a fun person to work with. She quickly followed through on everything we discussed, and she made wonderful suggestions to guide me through the steps we were taking. I am quite certain I will recover my investment in Kathleen’s services! I am meeting with my partner this weekend. I have already mentioned her to him, and he is looking forward to being able to work with her soon.
Update: After less than a month of having the site updated, it appeared on the first page of Yahoo and MSN for two different keyword phrases.

I’m impressed with the thoroughness with which Kathleen conducts her business. Her grasp of the real estate business is comprehensive, with customer service that rivals Nordstrom’s! The Profile Questionnaire was exhaustive and made me think even more about my business. She’s a pleasure to work with, and came through like a champ when we ran into difficulties. I’d recommend Kathleen in a heartbeat!

Kathleen does outstanding work. She went out of her way to understand my needs, even though I threw so much at her all at once. I consider her services to be a key to my success. She’s professional, smart, and pays attention to details. I enjoy working with her, and consider her a friend. I will continue to refer Kathleen’s services to anyone who is in need.

Kathleen understood my business quite well. She’s high tech and high touch, and she worked with me as an individual with unique needs. I already had a niche market and good taglines, but Kathleen realized that one of the tag lines encompassed all the others. She clarified an identity that simultaneously identified my market niche, and was expansive enough to include all the services I provide. The fee was an investment – even after taxes and expenses, I will make much more than the cost of the work she completed.
