Are you ready to see online Real Estate in a completely new way? Welcome to Strut Your Hut, where the business of buying, selling, and renting homes is more than just a numbers game.
The Strut Your Hut Family created this site as an alternative to the standard Real Estate site that provides you with information but little else. While we offer the elements you're looking for, like search and listing capabilities, we take it up a notch. We've designed the site to be a more personal experience than other Real Estate sites because where you live is a very personal choice. And we've created tools to enhance your property listings and help you organize your home search.
Our listings offer unlimited photos, the ability to add videos from various sharing sites, owner profiles, blogs and our unique HutComp, all lending a personal touch to help you make a very big decision. Plus, you don't have to spend all day searching through listings; you can post a Listing of yourself and what you're looking for! Explain what you're looking for and let the homes find you.
Finally, we wanted a site that is not only utilitarian but fun and entertaining! This is just one of the reasons we created the platform for "Strutting!" We know first hand how much some people just LOVE their homes and take pride in making their home all it can be. The Strut Your Hut Family members are all home lovers who have the "Do It Yourself or Just Get It Done" spirit. If you've got a great design sense, or you take pride in the kitchen remodel you did yourself, or if you just are amazed at the great home you found and are privileged to live in…show it off! Our "Strut" category is just for you! We're curious about what other people do with their homes, and we're pretty sure we're not the only ones, so show off what you've got! Strut Your Hut!
Strut Your Hut makes the process of looking for a new place to live fun and personal. Strut Your Hut, by its very name, looks to the community as a whole to ‘Strut Their Huts’ and network to get excited about choosing and living someplace new. Strut Your Hut is based on four key ideas.
SYH provides an innovative platform for Buyers and Renters to create a profile of who they are and what they’re looking for in a home and be contacted directly. As a Buyer or Renter, Strut Your Hut lets Sellers, Agents, Landlords and Brokers FIND YOU.
SYH gives Sellers, Agents, Brokers and Property Managers the chance to set themselves apart by using videos, photos and stories to bring their listing to life, and then actually search and contact Buyers or Renters directly.
SYH brings communities together by allowing local organizations and businesses to network with the people Buying, Selling and Renting homes in the community.
Strut Your Hut is a completely new approach to Real Estate for people who love their home and love the community they’re a part of. Strut Your Hut allows users to record and share home improvements, show off your decorating style or just Strut Your Hut so family and friends can come over any time.
We've found that what Buyers, Sellers and Renters really want and what drives them to a successful transaction is how well a home suits the way they LIVE. By encouraging users to upload or add videos from other video sharing sites, post unlimited photos and talk about their home and what they want in a new way, we give the process of Buying, Selling and Renting a 'personal dimension' that's been lacking in online real estate.
The trend in online real estate is evident, as site after site moves toward stripping homes and neighborhoods of their personality and turning real estate into a numbers game. There's no doubt that statistics are important, but we know there needs to be a balance - that's why we do the opposite. Strut Your Hut puts the emphasis on “home” not “house” and Strut Your Hut helps you find the qualities in a home and the character of a community that are right for you.
When you buy or rent a home you are, in effect, buying or renting the community. Strut Your Hut provides buyers and renters the opportunity to learn about the neighborhood from the real people who make up that community, not just the “houses”. Strut Your Hut is the story of where you live, how you live and who you are.
Over the years, we have sold, leased, bought and rented out our personal and investment properties both on our own and with the assistance of agents or brokers. So no matter how you approached it before, you feared a harrowing experience. With Strut Your Hut, we have created a way to help others find the kind of success that we have by bringing the resources and tools that we have discovered or devised for ourselves to users of the internet to make the Real Estate experience enjoyable. And sharing this experience with family, friends and others who can help you, or benefit themselves, is what Strut Your Hut is all about.
Strut Your Hut obscures the line between Real Estate and Entertainment. What works for one person doesn't work for another. Sellers who choose 'to go it alone' (in industry parlance) deserve equal status as those who prefer to use a professional. Buying or Selling "By Owner" can be accomplished with the same degree of honesty and integrity as when using a realtor, contrary to what some ads might claim. What's important is finding the "Real EstateStyle" that works for you in a particular situation. In creating StrutYourHut.com we knew that we wanted to offer ALL members of the online Real Estate community a level playing field for a personal approach to finding a place to live as well as showing off the space they love.
Keeping track track of listings from multiple websites, agents and sellers should be easier…and now it is! As a central, un-biased site where people can organize their home search, Strut Your Hut lets Buyers and renters add properties (Finds) even if they are not listed on SYH.
At Strut Your Hut Buyers and Renters can:
Bookmark links to other Real Estate sites and their listings.
Organize Photos, videos and notes that they took while visiting the home in person.
Simplify the decision-making process.
HutComp is our proprietary, customizable home comparison and organizing tool that Buyers and Renters can use to make sure they’re making the right choice. There are plenty of Real Estate sites that let you mull over house data, median home price, etc…but Strut Your Hut is the only place to organize how your feeings, plans for a property and how it fits your lifestyle in a way that traditional comps can't begin to approach.
Strut Your Hut provides a cost-effective way to not only put a home on the market, but to generate leads in an online real estate community by searching and contacting Buyers and Tenants DIRECTLY.
Use Videos, photos and stories used to show Buyers and Renters what it’s really like to live in the home you’re selling or renting. Strut Your Hut’s Online Neighborhood is a place for everyone in the community to network so that prospects have the complete picture of a home’s environment.
Strut Your Hut recognizes that Organizations and Businesses are one of the most important parts of a community. Strut Your Hut provides a new way for Businesses and Organizations to reach their audience, because they are treated just like a member of the community – not just as an “advertiser”.
Strut Your Hut is based on a non-intrusive and cooperative method of giving Businesses and Organizations a way to be involved in the community. Where someone lives is often determined by what a community has to offer…Businesses and Organizations can now show potential residents who they are and what you offer to the community.
Strut Your Hut lets Agents, Brokers, Sellers and Landlords (Listers) actually SEARCH and CONTACT Buyers and Renters based on qualities in a home that the Buyer or Renter is looking for. The Listers can then make a direct pitch to the Buyer or Renter that they’ve got the best place for that person to live.
Strut Your Hut takes Real Estate a step further by going beyond the traditional ‘aggregation’ of For Sale and For Rent listing and giving Buyers and Renters a non-biased place to organize their search, organize contacts and make an informed decision about where they want to live.
Strut Your Hut brings the community together by inviting local and national organizations (both commercial and non-profit) to use these media tools to create a business profile and gain exposure through “Neighborhood Networking”. A Lister can add a Business or Organization’s profile to their Listing and show Buyers and Renters what’s in the neighborhood.
SYH gives people an opportunity to share and discover new ways of making a difference in the environment, starting at home. When a person looks at a Listing or Strutter they can read about what the owner is doing or how the home itself is addressing environmental issues.
Does your home use less energy? Are you creating less waste? Strut Your Hut provides a platform spread these ideas. At Strut Your Hut energy-saving features and renewable resources are as important as cathedral ceilings or marble countertops.
Strut Your Hut wants bring Living Green to the mainstream and encourages people to take in to account the impact they are have on the environment at home.
