Are they serious about this? They sure are degrading the real estate agents and brokers. This is sure wierd, but I have no right to question them, its their business venture after-all, I am just so surprised. I can't believe this one, yeah, I also had the same reaction.

Wow, that is going to look real strange in the middle of the market. More power to them if they can do some business. I always thing of the grocery store as a quick stop, "I'm gonna run to the store, I'll be right back." Buying a house there would seriously prolong this activity. They better put it before the freezer section, because this would ruin a tub of ice cream! Thanks for the update!!! Wow, that is going to look real strange in the middle of the market.

It may work well in hot markets when agents are just taking orders like the store clerks, but I don't think many consumers or agents would be receptive to this idea. Are they for real?

Thinking that most people have to get a gallon of milk and other groceries. Not sure it will have a great effect, especially when most people start searching via internet.

That may be that there are banks in some of the stores here in Oregon. I have to assume we aren't the only state. There is plenty of personal information talked about in banks. I think it would need to be a satellite office so agents could go somewhere else with clients to get away from the probable noise. Offices are opened in strip malls to get the same walk-by traffic; why is this so different?

They were basically grouped in with the cellular cariers and the Hair Extension people. Talk about degrading the industry. Thank God that experiment failed miserably.

The offices are run by a small local broker instead of a major franchise. The location near me is pretty new so it is to early to say if it is viable or not.

Fell flat and don't see this being a successful strategy either. I know of a couple of other companies that tried to set up shop in local malls.

I sat that one out in the 90's (?) because I remembered floor duty at the Sears store when I was with Coldwell Banker in the 1980s. In Sears we were tucked back discreetly behind the boys clothes department. We had a "computer" and we did have people occasionally stop by to ask about real estate... wait that was because there was no internet. Are RE kiosks in shopping malls still being done?
