Why use Rock Properties?

 · High-Tech · Low Pressure · Rock Solid Service ·

Why use Rock Properties to buy or sell your Austin real estate instead of one of the national chains?  Lower Cost and Rock Solid Service!  How can we offer a lower cost?  Simple, since we are the brokerage and we don't belong to any national franchises, we don't have to pay out large brokerage or franchise fees.  Ask us about discounts that we can pass on to you when buying a new Austin home, moving up or even first time buyers.

What makes us different than the big Real Estate Conglomerates?  Lower Cost and Better Service!
All Real Estate firms provide essentially the same service and the only thing that differentiates one Real Estate firm from another these days is their marketing (how much they spend marketing themselves).  All Realtors® use the same Austin MLS, we are all licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), we are members of the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR), Texas Association of REALTORS® (TAR) and National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).  We also do the same marketing (yard signs, brochures, publications, internet, etc.) as the well know national chains, but we do it better.  One of the things that sets Rock Properties apart is our internet savvy and we do 90% of our marketing online.  So instead of spending a huge amount of time and money marketing ourselves, we spend more time marketing your properties and providing you the service that you expect.

Selling Your Austin Home

We know how to market your home on the internet (you found us didn't you).  According to the National Association of Realtors, over 75% of house hunters look on the Internet at some point during the home-buying process. So, sellers might assume that using any Realtor® with a web site can help make a sale happen. But some Realtor's sites are better than others, and you should look beyond a well-designed home page to figure that out.

Rock properties will market your home in all the traditional ways including putting a sign in your yard and listing your house on the MLS, but we also understand the importance of the internet when marketing your Austin Home or Real Estate. We employ in-house Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques in order to get the best possible Search Engine Results Page/Positioning (SERP) for your Austin Home or property.

Our web site, RoundRockRealty.com gets indexed by all the major search engines on a daily basis... (AllTheWeb.com, AltaVista.com, AOL.com, Google.com, MSN.com, Yahoo.com).  To see how we rank on the major search engines, click on any of the search phrases randomly generated from our featured property listings.  Google: River Place, Austin, TX,  MSN: Forest Creek Estates - Round Rock,  AllTheWeb: Eagle Ridge Home for Sale - Round Rock, Texas,  AltaVista: #8 Tee, Teravista Golf Course, Round Rock, Texas,  AOL: Laurel Ridge, Round Rock (Home Lease),  Yahoo: Harris Branch, Austin, TX.    We don't get there every time, but many times we are on the very first page for common Austin Real estate search phrases.  (If you refresh this page, you will get another randomized search list).

Buying Austin Real Estate

Home buyers relax, tell us what your looking for and then let the Rock Properties Personal Prospecting Service send new listings to your email as they are added to the Austin MLS system.  By utilizing many of the technologies available today such as internet marketing and MLS search agents, we keep our prices low and pass the savings on to you.  The same level of quality and commitment that you see on our web site, we put into your real estate transaction.  Our goal is to give you the best price, provide courteous and competent service, pay attention to the details for you, and to create satisfied lifetime customers without being pushy.

We are Realtors, but we work as Real Estate consultants rather than a salesman.  We prefer to provide advice and assistance in making decisions, not pressure to sell buy something that you don't want.  We wont invade your privacy, but we will contact you from time-to-time to see how things are going and how we can help. If you see a property that interests you, and you need more information, give us a call. We are always here to help you for as long as it takes, so feel free to call or email any time you have any questions or comments or want to look at a property and hopefully in the end, we can help you find and buy the right place to call home.
