On this week's episode of Real Estate Tips, we answer a great question from one of our awesome listeners, Alec. Alec wants to know if flyers, door hangers and direct mail pieces are still relevant. The answer to this question, is ABSOLUTELY. Not only are they still relevant, but in our opinion, they are more relevant today than ever before. Why? People are still opening their doors, they're still checking their mailboxes, and these days, people are getting less and less physical mail, so your piece will stand out that much more. Alec also asks, "What information should be on them," and, "What price point of homes should they sent out to?" If you have any questions you want answered, or topics you would like to see covered, be sure to email us at "Questions@GSDMODE.com" and we will do our best to get them on the show.
