Well, in my opinion... A good marketing strategy for a business whether in real estate or any other sector is its company image and the ability for the company's image to attract people. In as much as people are now getting more informed, the vast majority of people who buy products and services in our society do so from admiring the image of the company that makes the product or offers the service. In my opinion, that's the best marketing strategy anybody can ever have. That's why a lot of popular companies that sell products such as cars have a preety lady on the frontpage of their website or their billboards simply to attract the attention of people. Have a rethink, does your marketing strategy attract attention? The truth is no matter which way you get into the mind of an individual, you remain in the individual's mind and trust me, that customer could have been attracted by your preety assistant or the color of your advertisements. Anyway, I'm a domainer and to be a little bit selfish, I'd say the customer might have been attracted by the look of your website or the 'trendy-ness' of your domain name. The faster you realize, the better for your business. I have a few real estate domain names for sale though,
