I don't understand why an agent would use the newspaper for anything but sending people to their website...It is a dated way of advertising and only good for the sellers belief that that is where people will find their home. Unfortunately they really don't understand that print media is on the way out, yes even the phone book is a lot smaller today. Advertising methods are changing fast and those not changing are going to be left behind, or at the very least left with a lighter wallet. My proof? look at any newspaper today and what do you see on the front page? Yes they now have a website! logically what does that mean? They are trying to hang on to a dying media! people are visually driven for photos or videos and the internet can provide so much more of that type of information quickly and with relative ease....and yes it is environmentally friendly too.. It saves on windshield time for realtors and buyers helping weed out the undesireable, un acceptable or down right nasty homes that seem to good to be true when described in text media or with only a few pics....we have all been there wasting time with what appeared to be a great value and it turned out to be a "clunker"
If the agent does not use virtual tours or at least good pictures maybe the property should be avoided?
