Individual agents may advertise your home for
the same reasons as companies do. They usually advertise in
classified ads or in specialty magazines featuring houses
available for sale.
As in other types of advertising, these ads rarely sell your
home. Once again, the main goals of advertising are to
accumulate homebuyers as clients, and to impress you and future
home sellers with how well they market their listings. Some
agents actually do sell their own listings, but not that often.
It is much more productive and beneficial if your listing
agent
directs most of his or her marketing efforts toward other
agents. Since this is "behind the
scenes" marketing that you don’t actually see, it is often
difficult for you to measure how hard the agent is working for
you.
It is a mistake to measure your agent’s effectiveness solely by
counting the number of newspaper and magazine ads featuring your
property.
