You’ve probably heard this one before: “Eighty percent of homebuyers are 
online. You need to cancel your print advertising. It’s a waste of money. Go 
where the buyers are.”  
 
Speakers across North America are chanting this mantra. Many of these same

are making a huge mistake. Online advertising definitely has a place in an 
agent’s marketing portfolio, but online advertising is not sufficiently visual, 
repetitive, or frequent enough to achieve all of a top producing agent’s career 
goals.
