Are You Being Exposed?


Not by this publication!

So you have to ask yourself "How will buyers see my property?" Exposure is one of the keys to selling so where will your home be marketed?

Mid-way through last year the Realtors of the Guelph and District Real Estate Board decided it was in their clients best interest to no longer focus on advertising their clients in the Guelph Mercury. They felt that instead of having their clients' listings sent right to the door of many Guelph homes that they would "Go Green" and cut distribution by 3/4 and that home buyers would search out their paper around Guelph in their Green Boxes. Given that it has been a week since the plows have been out plowing snow it appears that not to many buyers are using these green boxes.

Our clients still have the option of local print advertising with any listing done. Whether it is in Guelph with the Mercury, KW with the Record, Cambridge with the Times or Wellington County with the Advertiser. Mind you our clients also have access, through a partnership, to list their properties on Canada's busiest real estate website along with listing on PropertyGuys.com.

It leaves me asking what do Realtors offer for all that money that you can't get yourself with a little guidance?
