Best Recent Oak Lawn Real Estate Posts

You've already been introduced to the new Oak Lawn real estate website.  This is the #1 local site for Oak Lawn homes and other real estate.  Because of the new website created, the site might have lost its first page Google position because of the new pages created and Google having to find and index them. Once that is accomplished I think we'll be back at the top again.

In an effort to kick-start indexing of the new site I'm listing some of the most interesting blog posts recently transferred over:
Each of the above links offer even more ways to see searches already done for you or the ability to create a custom search for Oak Lawn or any of the towns our large MLS services.  The pre-made searches will constantly update themselves so you'll always have the latest listings.  

We created this new website for it's ease of use and the ability on our end to create these kinds of searches so you can quickly check the current market in types of listings, price ranges and more.  We will be adding more custom searches to the website so come back and see what's new!

A New Look For Oak Lawn Real Estate Website

Oak Lawn Homes & Real Estate website

I've been making a lot of website changes lately, and I picked the wrong time to do it.  Oak Lawn real estate has been hot lately and I chose the busiest time of the year to make changes to multiple websites, as you can see in this blog.  I still have one more to go.

This is my first real estate website I ever created.  At the time, I was living in Oak Lawn and created a website that covered this popular village (has the most sales of the main southwest suburban area I work in) and the surrounding towns.  

Because it was such a niche site it was #1 in Google if you did a search for Oak Lawn real estate.  Things have changed with recent Google algorithm changes and the big portals that have deep pockets, and although the site is still on the first page it has lost it's number one position.  But it is still the 1st local website that shows up in a normal Google search in the regular (not local) results.  I get a lot of business from it.

Why did I make all these changes?  I believe in creating what is called hyper-local sites for my main areas.  I think with the Google changes and competing against these big portals, it is more important for us "little guys" to try to beat them in local organic searches.

I feel I'm providing the best information for Oak Lawn real estate than those big real estate websites can.  I know the village first-hand as I grew up there and lived there as an adult for many years.  Both my team-mates, my husband and daughter, also lived in the village for many years.
