Testimonials

“Without the monthly ad in The Real Estate Book®, my clients would think I was out of business. The constant presence reminds people I am out there and they always know how to find me.”

“TREB is a great advertising tool because you are reaching your target market as soon as they pick it up. I have been advertising in it for about a year and a half and I get a lot of text code leads. It is so easy to advertise this way because Steve does all of the work on the ad. All you have to do is approve the proof before publication.”

“I have been working in Halifax in real estate for over 40 years, and I have to say — this glossy magazine that Steve Toole has created is one of the best forms of advertising around. Particularly, I find it especially good for tourists and people from out of town because of its size and style; it is very easy for someone to pick up and take with them. Furthermore, he has been able to create a book which advertises the beautiful shores of Nova Scotia especially well — his online presence being no exception.”

“Every one of our ‘For Sale’ signs clearly dispalys the Text Code System [from TREB], which potential clients and customers seem to love and utilize on a very regular basis. Being notified via Text Message whenever this takes place is a real game changer. ”

“An absolute pleasure working with Stephen and the team at our local TREB. Always so accommodating, helpful and pleasant to deal with. The Real Estate Book® is always strategically placed throughout our province for maximum exposure, and with its well-thought-out, eye-catching design and quality of print, it is a fantastic means to promote our local real estate.

“I know a lot of people feel that print advertising is not as effective as online but I go into a lot of restaurants, banks, stores, etc. where people are sitting and reading through The Real Estate Book® while they are waiting. They may not be Buyers or Sellers at the time, but they remember seeing you in the book and recognize you as a REALTOR® when they see you. I don’t know how many people I have had come up to me and say ‘I’ve seen your picture in The Real Estate Book.’”

“It seems that every restaurant, lawyer’s office, grocery store, etc. around town features The Real Estate Book® box, and you can almost always see people picking them up while they wait. The distribution is awesome. ”

“Each month I get leads and inquiries and have sold listings straight from calls from the book. I am very excited about the new and improved digital side of TREB. ”

“We have been advertising in The Real Estate Book® for a few years now and it’s our main source of print advertising. We like the magazine because it is real estate-focused, unlike many other magazines and newspapers. If somebody is looking at TREB they want to see real estate, and TREB delivers. It’s widely distributed around the city and we see people picking it up and calling us all month long. Steve, the owner, is great to work with — he helps with graphic design, and goes out of his way to help us when we need help.”

“We find that even though the book itself is very popular with locals, the web version is priceless. As we are, and have been, Platinum Advertisers, all of our listings go on the Book’s various [global syndication] sites. And for countries around the world that have never heard about MLS® or even the large [local] real estate companies, searching for ‘real estate’ leads them to The Real Estate Book®. From there we have had many inquiries from all around the world. ”
