Interesting that Real Estate company names dominate the list, and then for sale by owner slips in.
Hmm, never thougt realtor.com is on top, because remax is the biggest and the best known company.
I was surprised by the result of this Top 10 real estate search term. I actually thought that remax will prevail because of it’s dominant in search engine tools. But I really don’t know the main thing. Anyway thanks for sharing this to us.
