Real Estate Roller Coaster?

It's a bit off topic for this blog, but I thought it was a super cool video.



Shows what has happened to the real estate market since the late 1800's. We haven't dived as far as you might think!
What Real Estate Company is the Most Searched For?

I'm finding that I like to do this blog thing about our industry. As I am searching for the best keyword to use, I decided to see who is searched for the most. The findings may surprise you.

Here's the list:

  1. Century 21
  2. Coldwell Banker
  3. ERA (might have been the word "era")
  4. Keller Williams
  5. Distant C21
  6. GMAC popped up next in Relevance

I do not see REMAX there anywhere. However, like REALTOR.com, the name is so recognizeable that they may be generating traffic DIRECTLY to them. I also found it interesting that CENTURY 21 popped up as number one. It backs up their claim, but upon further review, it's my hypothesis that users have a hard time finding them, so they are forced to search. In addtion, much like ERA, I believe they are getting a boost on the sheer fact that it has another meaning, ala 21st Century.

To me the clear cut winner would be Coldwell Banker.
