ABOUT

The Grand Rapids Real Estate name has been around for 96 years. Established by Burt Haverkamp in 1926, Brian Silvernail purchased the name from Burt’s Son’s Estate in 1999. 

In 2000 www.GrandRapidsProperties.com was launched to take advantage the SEO Rankings afforded the name “The Grand Rapids Real Estate Co.”  The site immediately started allowing for the posting and sharing of links to online videos in 2001. That same year GrandRapidsProperties.com was named Commercial Real Estate Site of 2001 for the Real Estate Cyberspace Society, a 5000 member association of computer savy Real Estate Agents spanning 50 countries.

Search engine rankings are the results of algorithms that include heavily weighted consideration for Video Content, Keyword Relevance and the length of time a site has beenactive. GrandRapidsProperties.com has been displaying video real estate content for nearly 13 years and counting. 

The site has been keyword optimized for Grand Rapids Real Estate keywords. As we go LIVE with the redesign and re-launch of the site, which includes MLS Reciprocity inventory and begins to display property listings which to which the VIDEOICAST technology has been applied, resulting in numerous listings that are backlinked by multiple SEO Videos from Youtube, the rankings should only become more outstanding and consistent.

Consider the following keywords and the number of times they are already being typed in every month into the Google Search bars:
                                                                                Global                     Local

Grand Rapids Real Estate                                       18,100                     18,100
Grand Rapids Property                                           27,100                     22,200

Grand Rapids Apartments                                      40,500                     40,500    

That’s nearly 60,000 people each and every month typing in Grand Rapids Real Estate Based Keywords! We want to remind you that those sites that rank in the top 3 organic positions are individually viewed by 80% of those typing in these keywords.

What does that mean for you the Agent and property owner? More visibility for your property, more traffic, more prospect and more competition for your home’s listing and sale!

Once you upload let’s say 14 individual videos consisting of the summary video and 13 features of the home such as rooms, amentities, neighborhood etc, all backlinked to your property’s unique URL, odds are that anyone driving by your home could find your property by searching the street name, city and state and home for sale into their google search bar. How simple for anyone to find.
