A new technology in the real estate world is 360/3D scanning cameras. What this allows you to do is capture a digital twin of a property and allow you to view this space online. A digital twin is a visually immersive, accurate, and interactive 3D model of a real-world space. With this technology buyers are able to perform the closest thing to a virtual showing possible, allowing them a fully immersive way to see your property without ever leaving the screen of their device.

Within our brand, the web-designers we employ, are capable of propelling both our name and your listing into the world-wide-web with up to date practices and techniques. Providing you with maximum exposure, whether the potential client is browsing from home on a desktop, or casually browsing from their mobile device on the go.

Getting the product noticed before other similar products is what makes Bear Island Realty stand out above the competition and enables your property to be in a client’s eyes, heart, and mind and take root.
Analytics are everywhere, and behind everything. Tracking and utilizing the data set up to analyze the numbers behind advertising, markets, trends, demographics, and other fields is a huge advantage behind creating a stronger marketing plan.

A website: a collection of electronic pages built with graphics and text, with a message or purpose. Bear Island Realty has had a website for over 26 years now. It all started in the 1990’s when the rise of the Internet was just becoming a thing, and we wanted to stay on top of this technology and utilize it to enhance the real estate experience. We have launched our fifth update over the years aimed at an enhanced user experience.
Over the course of the past 26 years the website has received many tech updates. Our current iteration of the website incorporates fast loading times, user-functionality, individualized account management, and updates streaming from our primary MLS every hour. The updates streaming from the MLS database allows the user of the site to experience the most up to date information available to the public on any specific property.
Other recent updates have been aimed at getting the website as mobile friendly as it can be and with enhanced loading times for a fast experience for the user. We have also embedded our new 3D Tours into the site! Also having the site function properly on as many devices possible is a goal we constantly strive for.
Social Media is everywhere, an everyday part of our now “in the moment” lives. We want your property to be a part of that. Utilizing the most popular social platforms that are currently out there, and even some that are less known in hopes of being exclusive or the first to the punch. Bear Island Realty harnesses and captures influence, exposure, and social accountability to shed light on your property and get it out in the world to the people that use these platforms. We have thousands of organic followers and viewers, and tens of thousands of impressions/views coming non-organically.
We will publish your listing through our networks. This will create natural buzz and let people see your property even before they start their real estate search. With your property already on their mind even before they begin, we are ahead of the game, hopefully bringing them full circle when they fall in love with what your property has to offer.
