Friends passed along to me a flyer they picked up in front of a home for sale in Arlington Heights. Shown left is part of it. With color printers priced less than $100, there’s no excuse for such an ugly flyer. Marketing materials not only provide information about a home. They give the reader an impression of the home. What’s your impression of this home?

I would not expect this home to be nice inside. The lack of effort in creating this flyer may be indicative of the lack of care for the home.
