How often do people go to google to search for an exact address when looking to buy a house? I would think only if they saw it was for sell, through either driving buy the house or seeing it advertised somewhere else.

I'm going to believe that the realtor would be smart enough to put the web address on his/her for sale sign and on the flyers in the attached box. Since realtors still use the local paper to sell houses I would imagine putting the web addresses of all their properties in their ads would be another way to get the word out.
Other realtors may even send the link to their prospective buyers. This could be risky but if they are sure the client will make the offer through them it almost zeroes out the risk.
Some people search Zillow. I don't know if Don's agents interact with Zillow but many do so that opens a whole new world. There are other real estate niche websites that could be used.
That's just off the top of my head. If anybody has more ideas/info, please post.
