Here in Melbourne located in Brevard County Florida, several times a week I drive by 2 different homes that are listed for sale. I have been driving past these same properties for over 2 years now. Both homes are a terrible mess outside. One of the real estate signs in the front yard has been falling over and is hanging by one hook for at least 3 months now. One side of the sign on the other house is smeared with some type of black muck and the phone number is illegible, and it has been for probably about 8 weeks now. The listing data and the tax roll info indicate that these homes are both currently owned by private individuals. There are no comments about short sale or foreclosure in the listings. The homes were purchased over 6 years ago, pre 2005 boom. The reasons that the homes haven't sold are for a different day and different blog article. There is something that I don't understand...and maybe someone can help me with this. What is the purpose of each of these listings to a Realtor? Is it sign and name recognition for an agent? Is it free advertising for an agent? I need some help with this one... To me the question after a given period of time becomes.. don't these types of properties eventually 'hurt' the listing agent. After so many months, does the thought become...why won't that house sell? It must be a dump. Why won't that agent fix that broken sign? It's been like that 'forever". Is he/she doing his/her job ...
