| My realtor just gave me a bunch of little folded cards to pass out. Do people really pass these out. They are nice and all but my friends all know I am selling.
Anyone advertise this way? On facebook? Just curious? |

| Oh, for heaven's sake either just do it (at the mall if you like) or don't. |

| I would expect my Realtor to advertise online; Trulia, Realtor.com, Zillow or similar webpage(s). Advertise in local Realty magazine, Print colored flyers for box attached to prominent 'For Sale' sign. Invite other Realtors for 'open house'. I have not heard of passing out cards! |

| Why do the work you are paying a Realtor to do? |
|
| I'm confused a little! Many realtors get clients by word of mouth. I have referred my own many times to my friends and newcomers to the area, having some cards to give them is a big plus! What exactly is on the little cards? I've seen lots of sale ads on facebook and other social nets. |

| I can understand the real estate agent giving you a few cards to keep handy in your bag, but I would think it's really up to him/her, not you, to spend the time to get the word out on your house. |

| To sell your house, you must get the word out to as many people as possible. Even though "all your friends" know you're selling, *they won't always remember to tell their other friends/family/church people/work chums*. & if they do remember, the friends, etc likely won't remember your address or your agent's name, etc. Any kind of "visual aid" is helpful, & anything you can do to facilitate the sale will be in your best interest. Pass out those cards at work & at church, give 'em to the waiter at the restaurant & the cashier at McDonald's (she has parents & teachers & aunts & uncles)... I once had an agent who paid a toll at the "change made" booth, & she handed the toll booth guy a card. She sold him a condo. |
