Some sellers called me and said they were no longer happy with their agent and one of their complaints was regarding the absence of flyers.
I see many real estate listings around Colorado Springs with no flyer box on the sign and if there is a flyer box, it's usually empty.
Many buyers complain when they find a home for sale and it does not have a flyer available. Sure, they can call the number on the sign; after all, that is what the listing agent wants. Sign Calls.
Most buyers don't want to deal with the hassle of calling the number on a sign or dealing with a realtor, so they move on.
Is this fair to home sellers? They want information about their home to be readily available to potential buyers but instead, the listing agent requires buyers to call the number on the sign. Often times, the number on the sign only lists the agent's cell phone number (which they do not answer of course) and the office number is nowhere to be found...so the potential buyer moves on to another home.
I imagine sellers would begin to feel like their agent was not out to sell their home, but instead, to generate more business for themselves. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with marketing until it interferes with the selling of someone's home.
Do you include flyers for your listings? Why or why not?
