I've been banging on about this for more years than I care to remember but my words have always fallen on deaf ears.

Now, it's not just me.

Estate Agent Today is a site, funnily enough, for the estate agency trade.  A place for us agents to blow off steam once in a while.

An article - Agents pull out of newspaper advertising - tells us what we, the agents have known for a while, papers don't work.  But it's the comments to the article which you really should take a look at.

If you were ever under the illusion that getting your house advertised in the paper was the way to go then these comments will stop you in your tracks.

You'll know - straight from the horses mouth - newspaper advertising was only ever about 1 thing - getting new sellers, not finding buyers.

At last, now maybe you can stop being hoodwinked by the crap the big agents are peddling and realise you're paying higher fees so 'they' can get more sellers.
