Once you decide to sell your home, you must decide who will represent you in the marketplace. There are many Pa real estate firms in our area, but Kurfiss Sotheby's International Realty is widely recognized as a leader with a proven track record in marketing and selling homes. See a selection of our recently sold pa homes and properties.
Recent studies show that over 90% of home buyers begin their search on the Internet. We think you will agree that our Web site is informative, well-designed and easy to use. Each listing is posted in complete detail, with beautiful photography and an option to print a full color flyer from the privacy of your home. Perhaps even more importantly, we invest substantial resources in promoting our listings to buyers locally and regionally through search-engine promotion, Realtor.com and online real-estate classifieds such as phillyburbs.com and nytimes.com. We even have a strong global presence thanks to our affiliation with Sotheby's International Realty, which features every listing we offer, and Luxuryrealestate.com, which features our listings priced at more than $500,000. These are two of the most visited real-estate web sites.
This use of technology is paying off for our clients. In 2006, Kurfiss Sotheby's International Realty had more than 277,000 visitors to its site, an increase of approximately 60% over the previous year. About 110,000 were new to our site, representing an increase of about 85% of new visitors over the previous year. Our site attracts an average of 2,900 repeat visitors each month, and we are on track to have a record year of web activity in 2008. What's more, local real-estate agents from competing firms tell us they find our site so easy to use, they visit us more than their firms' sites to learn what's on the market in their region and to view our slideshows.
Print advertising is also important facet of the Kurfiss Sotheby's International Realty marketing mix. We are contracted with numerous daily and weekly papers in the areas we serve. These papers reach a combined audience of more than 500,000 readers every week. We realize that every property is unique, and it is our intent to target our marketing to the appropriate audiences. Our affiliation with Sotheby's International Realty also gives our agents access to print media and a global luxury network that reaches high-net worth individuals.
In addition, Kurfiss Sotheby's International Realty uses direct mail and event marketing where appropriate to keep our listings top of mind with agents and qualified buyers. All of these efforts, plus the years of experience many of our agents have with all levels of residential properties, can help homeowners manage the sale of what is often one of their largest and most complicated assets.
