Awhile ago I blogged about the 800# telephone numbers on yard signs that sole purpose is to get your phone number to the agent. I thought you'd be interested in another "gimmick" used to get people to call an agent, other than actual marketing of the home for sale. Here's the sales newsletter for Talking House. This is a product that broadcasts a recorded message over an AM radio station. I actually tried Talking House many years ago. I was planning to use it to broadcast a message over the radio for the people driving in downtown Pismo (on Pomeroy). Unfortunately, I couldn't get it the signal to reach any distance even though I purchased their external antenna that was supposed to make it go for 1000 feet. In my experience, it was more like 25 feet.
