Yeah, our group tried it and found it to be a waste of money. You get to post a phone number on your for sale sign and data sheets, and record a lengthy message describing the property, your name, etc. Supposedly, when an interested buyer drives past, they take the phone number and listen to your pitch. If they are still interested, they can leave a contact in a recorded message.
Eh, I see from above that they have now moved to radio airwaves. Back when we tried it, they used the telephone system.
We tried it for six months and didn't bother to renew.

Talking house is a service a realtor provides to homeowner and potential buyers for a house that is on the market. It is a low powered radio transmitter that sits on the property and broadcasts the description of the house on the market to anyone who wants to dial in to the frequency, usually while sitting in a car in front of the property. It is a convenient way to inform prospective buyers as to the qualities of the property. The goal is to get the buyers into the home to see firsthand for themselves what is being offered and then to get them to buy it if it meets their needs and desires.
I have not used it because it is too pricey for my meager advertising budget.

It's a radio transmitter set up at your listing and I think it's helpful....It make a listing "stand out" and its important in today's market. I completed 2 transactions I thank for that system. A buyer prospect stopped by a listing and was impressed hearing me on the "radio," called me and I sold him 2 properties in the last year-and-a-half.
As long as the reception is good, you'll get a few extra phone calls on your listings.....Maybe they'll like to buy your listing, and maybe they'll like to "hire" you as a buyer's agent....I think it's been worth it for me.... The extra exposure w/ this technology is sometimes impressive to the sellers who want to know you're doing extra for them.

talking house is a series of programs designed to aid/educate people in the real estate business, whether you are the buyer or the seller or the broker. is it useful? it can be but remember it is a tool for sale. you have other options...the internet has other free info. kinda like you don't have to buy that tax program to do your own tax coz the irs does provide free info.
