Adventures in Real Estate Marketing
Who needs the Internet to market a property when you’ve got a Sharpie, barely legible handwriting and a photocopier! (Click to expand.)

“Who needs the Internet to market a property”
um, makes you wonder how properties were sold before the advent of the internet.
I’m house shopping and I still look at the the print listings, those little bookelts you find in those boxes on the corners. And I often stop at realtors and glance the listings in the windows.
Heaven forbid there be other means of selling something except on the internet.
Wow, HalseySt, your 11:21 post to *rob* and dave really was over the top. You brought the attacks on yourself.
“We build clients for Life.”
LOL
I think that this handbill was not created by the realtor whose business card is attached, but by the property owner. Some owners don’t see the work that their realtor is doing for them – or the realtor actually is not doing enough to sell their house – and so owners will plaster their own neighborhood with homemade “4 Sale” handbills – but they want anyone interested to contact that realtor.
I would also make the call. If I were the owner I’d be calling the broker and firing him.
But to whom? I’d call the AIGA.
I would also make the call.
“snark on it as if he doesn’t have an interest in the matter ” Oh come ON. The interest is that it’s real estate and funny. And deserving of snark.
If it was a crudely-lettered flier for a missing kitten, okay, fine, cut it some slack. If it was done by the homeowner, it would still be funny, but perhaps I could see the point in saying we shouldn’t mock it.
But it’s a crudely-lettered flier for selling a house by someone who is presenting themselves as a professional RE person. As such, totally deserves to be mocked. As would a broker’s weblisting for a house that had the toilet seat up, the livingroom floor littered with crap, and a series of shots of the floor. Which I could find in 10sec on craigslist, and would definitely make fun of if reposted here.
It’s not low-class. It’s funny. Making fun of children in wheelchairs is low-class. Making fun of professionals who do stupid things is funny.
yes I would make the call.
