"Does
the For Sale By Owner TV show really get watched?"
We were the first
real estate show on Time Warner's TWTV and back then (1998)
the
answer was no! The simple reason is that there was no content.
But we stuck with it seeing the potential for great exposure
for our home-sellers. Boy has that paid off! You see, the
real estate companies didn't like that For Sale By Owner was
able to offer their customers something that they couldn't
so they quickly started advertising their properties in the "Real
Estate Showcase" on TWTV. In very little time TWTV became "content-rich" and
was a great place to find a home with full color photos and
brief descriptions.
So, Here's The
Secret...
How
many times have you heard the saying in real estate it's
location, location, location? Well the same holds true in
cable TV. One of the best features of TWTV is it's fantastic
channel positioning. Being on Channel 7 they enjoy the benefit
of being between Channel 6 (the CBS affiliate) and Channel
8 (the Fox affiliate). Think about how you watch TV. You
start at the bottom of the lineup and work your way up the
dial. It's called "channel surfing"...and we all
do it. So you're on Channel 6 and you hit the channel up
button on your remote. You see a house listing and you stop
to check it out. Next thing you know you've been on the
channel for 15 minutes. So many would-be buyers have "stumbled" upon
the home of their dreams just like that. We hear it over
and over again.
