Why is it a problem for him to market his listings or himself at the bank?

Not really a problem, but it is kind of humorous. What with ATMs and direct deposit I rarely go inside an actual bank anymore, but when I used to I don’t recall seeing any “onsite realtors.”

I would imagine this is just the start of a burgeoning marketing trend. Today’s realtor sits inside the bank quietly with his cookies waiting for contact from a potential customer. Tomorrow’s realtor marches outside the bank wearing a sandwich board, ringing a bell, tooting a wonka-wonka horn, and bellowing into a bull horn. I think it will be interesting to see the various marketing techniques desparate realtors come up with as the market continues its downturn.

BTW SD R, your post seemed a little defensive. So SD R, was it you???
