We all get them, even me, those cheerful postcards that announce,
Hi neighbor,
I Just Sold a home at 123 Happy Trails
Tucson, Az 8518
I got one just like that today. And hey, that’s what Realtors® do,
and I used to do it too. If you’re a listing agent, it’s how you get your name around the neighborhood.
But not content to leave well enough alone, this one went on to say,
For fast results, work with an agent who
knows how to get the job done.
OK, sure. Except that I know, and so does everyone else in the neighborhood - because the damn For Sale signs have been out there long enough to become a fixture - that the house at 123 Happy Trails was on the market for at least a year before it sold.
And they wonder why they don’t get no respect.
