New Tool for Real Estate Agents

  • January 23rd, 2007

If you are selling real estate in the Branson area you’ll be interested in this post.

There is a new tool designed specifically for placing your property (or one you’re listing) in front of thousands of people on a regular basis.

The program is called Homstation TV. Sound interesting? It is a new concept for the Branson area and can be found on basic cable channel 63. The channel is dedicated to broadcasting a continuous cycle of homes on the market in Branson and the surrounding area. Because the homes are shown repeatedly and are in a convenient location, they will be viewed more readily than ads in print.

Another benefit of having a property on Homestation TV is that the airing cycle is a week in length, which means that the homes featured can be changed more readily than many print offers - which are often times a month. Because the TV channel has a companion website, the homes can be viewed from virtually any location. All the homes running on the TV channel will also be listed on the continuously updated website.

Real estate agents, home buyers, as well as home sellers will be interested in learning of this new method of informing the public of your real property. You can learn more about it at www.homestation.tv.

Construction a Challenge

  • July 2nd, 2006

Living here in the Ozarks, I sometimes take for granted all the effort that goes into a road. Perhaps you yourself haven’t seen exactly how hard it can be to cut a new path from point a to point b. The Branson Daily News has an article about this process. If you like stuff about “Dolomite”, “Limestone”, and explosions then you might want to check it out.
