things i don't understand #34.

almost three years ago, we bought my house. before i was a homeowner, i never heard from realtors. you'd think i would. i was an apartment dweller for almost two years. and i didn't like it. they would have been smart to let me know they were available to help me spend my money.

but they didn't.

now, however, they do. ever since i moved in, they've let me know who they are, how great they are, how much they think i need them. i get at least one postcard or letter every other week. this makes no sense to me. none.

why would i want to purchase a home immediately after i purchased another? why would i want to sell a home i had just purchased?

it just seems like poor marketing, this marketing to those that don't need it. don't you think?

Oddly enough, they're trying not to waste their time.
Homeowners are the only people obviously qualified and interested in being homeowners. Generally, if a person has the means and desire to own a home, they do. If they don't, they don't.
Working with those that don't is a complete waste of time.
Since the average family only stays in a home about 5 years, they are hoping to find you somewhere near to one of those transitions of selling or buying.
