PS
I find it interesting that you don’t read my posts more carefully. I use the Internet very very effectively. Did you know that over 80% of the time buyers search for homes on the Internet they do so with realtor.com? That’s where I spend my money…where it actually works. My listings are marketed as effectively or more so than others. I have listings in neighborhoods that have been shown an average of once a day over the last 60 days. When I talk to other realtors with listings (most of which have video tours) and ask how often their listings are being shown, I am told once or twice a week. I know of several that havent been shown in weeks. The difference is how I do things. I only do things I know will work. Most realtors spend hundreds if not thouands of dollars on things they know wont work just to appease their sellers. I explain upfront that I wont do that and that every penny of my marketing budget will go toward getting their house sold. When they speak to their neighbors whose homes arent even being shown they understand why they hired me in the first place.
BTW, in the last two weeks I have had 3 out of state buyers come to SD to look at my listings and to work with me in finding a home. One will go into escrow this week.
Did that East Coast buyer actually purchase your house? Did that east coast buyer actually purchase a house from that Realtor?
PS, you live in the hypothetical world, I live in the real world. There is a difference.
