REALTO R
ADVERTISING ONLY ONE FACTOR
When a real estate agency
markets your home, only one
o f several marketing strategies
is advertising. Don’t make the
mistake o f thinking that one
office which advertises your
house three times a week is
doing a better job than one
that advertises it once a week.
There are two types o f adver
tising formats: classified and
display. A classified ad is a
line ad and a display ad is an
advertisement containing both
a picture and description. The
cost o f a single display ad can
often equal the cost o f dozens
o f classified ads. Also, which
newspaper the ad is in is very
important. A classified ad in a
large, metropolitan newspaper
will often be more expensive
than a display ad in a local,
weekly paper.
Never compare an agency
on the frequency o f its adver
tising your property. Other
marketing means may be even
more effective. At Sykes Real
Estate, I advertise the proper
ties, but SELLING them is
MORE important.

Blake’s poem is as follows:
“ In the Grassy Meadow"
In the grassy meadow in the fall
I can feel the crisp morning chill running up my back
As I watch the elk graze. ..
In the grassy meadow in the spring
I can hear the rushing waters as l watch the birds sing. . .
In the grassy meadow in the summer
I can soak up the sunlight listening to nature's song. ..
No matter w hat the season
Nature always has something in store for you.
