Got a flier in the door from an estate agent "Are you interested in selling? I have 3 buyers who are interested in buying a house like yours". This is in a housing estate with at least four houses unsold for months.

What's the estate agent's strategy?
 
We got a flyer in from an agent a while ago, it was a photocopy of a handwritten note on lined paper.

It was mind bogglingly cr*p.
 
Maybe it's a deliberate retro style attempt to look amateurish in order to capture attention?
 
In a similar vein, I saw a "Sale Agreed" sign recently (can't remember where) with "Similar properties urgently required" stamped over it. Had to laugh as half the street was for sale!
