Disagree with you respectfully. I am in the industry and the agency I work for collates data for the difference in number of buyers through open inspections when the property is advertised on the net vs when the property is advertised in paper + net. The paper opens consistently have 20-30% more buyers. I mean consistently, every week since we have started. If I were selling my property and an extra $5000 marketing spend meant potentially an extra 6-7 buyers looking at my home I would gladly throw the money down. One of those buyers bidding once at 10 grand you have covered your money and then some. Great prices are achieved through numbers at auctions. Why would you risk limiting those numbers even by 20% to save $5000. Sorry for the long post I feel very strongly about this as I work in the industry and hear muppets tell me marketing is for the agent. Any reasonable person can see the benefit of marketing your property the best way you can.
