I just read an article on  http://realtormag.realtor.org/daily-news/2012/07/25/wife-uses-cheating-husband-try-sell-home?om_rid=AADSM4&om_mid=_BQEB8LB8r9Ncrl&om_ntype=RMODaily  about this and took the time to go check it out.  It was a great marketing job by a scorned ex!

I believe I do a really good job of marketing my real estate listings in the Boise, Idaho area, but I don't think I have come anywhere near the 1.1 million hits they have received on their website!

Divorce real estate sign

 

I took the time to click throught their website @ www.greatfamilyhome.com At first, I was surprised someone didn't already capitalize on that URL.  Then, I took the time to read her "Scorned and Bitter blog".  She raised some good points about if someone steals your car, you can collect insurance and they can go to jail, but even thought adultry is one of the ten commandments, it isn't illegal while just in the insurance she lost as a result are just lost.

 

Take the time to check out her website and learn a few things about marketing as I just did!

PS:  I am not licensed in the State of Oregon and do not represent the seller of this property.  I am not trying to sell a property in a state I am not licensed in, just using it as an example.  ;-)

I have to say this made me smile and say, "Way to go!"  That beats anything I have ever done.

I agree Beth.  I am an ePRO trainer and sent the seller an email complimenting her and will probably be using this in my classes in the future.  Great way to think outside the box!

Every home has it's tales. 

This one is unfortunately sad.

Of course, we have not heard from the spouse or the paramour.

Who knows?

Hmmm now that's an interesting twist....never would have crossed my mind.  It fits along the lines of an AR contest I'm working on creating.  More to come....

I was just informed that the link I originally posted went to a different article, so I just corrected it.

Just unique enough to make the phone ring, I got some that say "Honey, Stop the Car"... They paid off with almost instant phone calls...

I guess there are approaches for ll kinds of situations.  While this is not my cup of tea, I could see how this could work for some folks.

Well, that has got to be about the most unique and interesting sign I have ever seen. A million hits - that is difficult to imagine.
