Hello Everyone,
I thought I would take a moment to explain why the most common practice for home buyers does the opposite of what they are trying to do. Most home buyers have a feeling of wanting to be left alone because they are 'Just Looking' and don't want to be bugged or pressured. So what do they do? They pick up a home magazine at the store.
The problem is this is the biggest way to get bothered. Most ads in the magazines leave out some information on purpose, like the price, address, or bedroom/bath info. The reason is they are ads. Designed to get you to call so the agent can sell you on their services. So if you don't want to be pressured or sold on services don't start calling on the magazines. many times by the time they come out the ad was put in 3 to 5 weeks before it hits the stores. This means that by the time you get them they may be 1 to 2 months old. And really old can mean sold.
So how do you avoid the onslaught of agents calling you? We have a private website that we can set you up with that lets you look at all of the homes in the public MLS so you don't have to call around to all of the places and get solicited by all of the agents. It has all of the information, prices, pictures,maps, and no one is bugging you. We are available if you need to get into one and are no pressure and our services are all free. When you need help we are there, when you want to just look, we don't bug you. watch a short demo of the Spokane Home Search Tool and call us to get set up with your private password to the site.

You are absolutly right about the magazines. I don't know how many times I have talked with clients that have become frusterated because all the homes they liked had been sold, and they had been called and bugged buy so many agents.
I agree the magazines are overpriced and not a very great way to showcase a home, A virtual tour is much better.
Yeah I think this is only going to be more and more true in many ways with technology
