I used MS Word and 24 lb paper from Staples. Works real good for me. Doing it this way you have total control. However, you do need to play with once you have your initial concept down. I think I spent about 12 hrs refining it. Give it a try, you never know.

Ditto.
But, brochures have done me little good. I still have about 3500 left out of 5000 ordered a year and a half ago. Had one comment (from a realtor whose client hired me on his educated own-it was semi positive) from those 1500.
Could be poor design!!
I didn't have realtor receives $20.00 per referral in the brochure.

Not to get off the thread but it is illegal to offer kickbacks to realtors. A discount coupon to the end client is fine but offering money to a realtor for business is a kickback

Been here long?
You would think that after 920 posts a person would know that and be comfortable enough to use that in jest!
May be I forgot to use the appropriate graphics:

Brochures are too expensive and time consuming to produce. There are other ways to keep your name in front of realtors without the large scale hassle of designing, printing the almost perfect brochure and paying travel and/or postage costs to keep 1 out of 100 from going into the trash.
It's not even worth the time to put my brochure online here. In fact I am anticipating winter so that I can use a case at a time to start the bonfires!
Goodbye old obsolescent brochures.....Hello business!

I close 3 out the 5 remaining when they contact me.
My average inspection is $400.
$1200 return on a $300 investment and I've shook hands and kissed babies with some realtors who will remember me.
Seems like a reasonable expenditure to me!
