Also Wrong: EE-Deen′-ah Realty
“All Politics is Local.”
–House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill
Like politics, all real estate advertising is local, too (at least for individual agents if not brokers).
In other words, there’s not much reason for a Twin Cities Realtor to market their services to consumers in Denver or Atlanta or Boston (note: Realtors do pursue relocation Buyers, but big brokers like Edina Realty typically have a separate relocation department that serves as a clearinghouse for incoming re-lo leads) .
Credibility Gap
So, let’s just say that when I get a call from a national vendor promising to increase my (local) business if I buy their ads, it’s not great for their credibility when they mispronounce “Edina Realty. ”
For non-natives (and would-be solicitors), it’s “e-DINE′-ah,” not “e-DEEN-ah.” 🙂
