Top 10 Tired Old Real Estate Practices

The real estate profession clings to many outdated business practices, but here’s my nomination for the Top 10 Tired Old Real Estate Practices:

10) Office tour.

9)   MLS tour.

8)   Itty-bitty print ads that say “Hurry, this one won’t last!”

7)   Black and white marketing materials.

6)   Full graphics on an agent’s Hummer, proclaiming that they’re #1.

5)   Bus bench ads.

4)   Grocery store shopping cart ads.

3)   Delivering pumpkins to your neighborhood at Halloween.

2)   Including recipes in real estate newsletters.

And, my favorite: (bada boom!)

1)   Handing out refrigerator magnets to your neighborhood.

(As a Realtor®, it’s really, really fun to list a home while glancing at another agent’s refrigerator magnet on the fridge!)
