If a 16 year old can afford a 1.1 M modest home, I see why not.

Huh? What's a Pokemon?

I have a lovely listing with a cliff; perfect for these lemmings to go off of! I don't want to insult any sheep

I just heard about Pokemon Go on our local news and they say it is highly addictive and causing car accidents by the followers. I doubt it would go over here in Naples as a marketing ploy.

No, thank you.

I have no clue. Guess I gave to check this out. I still may have no clue

What will they come up with next?  Are we dealing with children here or adults buying homes?

I can really only see this being a good idea if the listed unit is a rental or a lower price point for the area that is accessible to a younger buyer field. But who knows, innovators find success and I'm sure someone will profit from this idea. 

I don't get it.   I just don't see the point.  Seems ridiculous to me.  Maybe I'm just to mature (translated to "old")

If it will sell the house I'll be SANTA  !

Not in my lifetime!

Jeff,

I am not sure I like this idea.  However, it is works for you, all the more power to you.  A

my 15 yo would... im not sure i would. he was telling me about that today...wow..what a world

No.  If I was in their shoe's I'd fire and sue the agent who did that.  Then I'd be yelling "Get off my lawn you darn kids"

OMG.... I'm so sick of hearing about that nonsense on the news....unblievable....

I'm waiting for the return of Pokey, man and Gumby too.  

If it helps sell it, then I am all for it.

If done correctly it could bring a qualified buyer. Think outside the box!

I watched a video this morning and the point was to market to Millenials who are into it. At a lower price point or a starter home, it could be effective maybe not to sell the house, but to get them looking at your name on a sign. My teenagers are playing it and say there are people everywhere walking around with their phones when they do.

Anything to attract people.... it is not just kids doing it and it is teh parents of the young ones that you may want to attract anyway

What the heck is this?

Would serious home buyers select the homes they see based on a game? Do they even have the time to play around? And if they do, do they have the means to buy?

Hell no!! There are limits to everything!

OMG NO

No.

no thanks

LOL!

I think (hope) that the majority of Pokemon Go players aren't ready to buy a home.....

Jeff Pearl - I'll let it 'GO'! 

Fortunately my life has not gotten that boring to resort to reality games.  I'll stay in the real world for now...so probably a no!  I have seen many agents promoting their Broker Opens and Open Houses with Pokemon Go.  It will be interesting hearing what the sellers think about this....Marketing!

Not at all, plus open houses don't work in my market. 

Now that's a great idea!

I am not interested in playing games.

No I won't be doing that. I take real estate seriously and will leave the games to other agents.

No!!

I actually just had a discussion with an agent that may implement this idea into his open house events.  This is not something I would do since I prefer to enjoy conversation with the visitors and want their utmost attention on the property.

I only heard about this today when it was a headline in our paper that the police have been busy getting people out of places they don't belong Jeff Pearl 

I think it's a dangerous game.

No, probably not...

At this point...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

My son played a GameBoy game called Pokemon.  He loved it.  If this marketing idea is to get kids entertained while mom & dad view the house, I don't see lasting long as a fad.  If this is Pokemon adapted to an older audience of young adults, it may draw crowds but I doubt their pockets are deep enough to buy houses.  Let's see what action this gets in the next six months.  It was novel enough to get news attention, but that won't be around for long....

No I am not going to play. People were playing in Arlington National Cemetary the idiots.

Jeff Pearl I just saw this on the news. I don't know!!!

Not in our niche, so 'no' for us Jeff Pearl.  Even for clients out of our niche, it's not my thought at all - it will be interesting to see the feedback on that though!

No.

No. Here we are in October 2016. Is the fad over?? I haven't heard anything about it recently.

I've been wrong before and say no to this only because I would not partake. Having it available to others may change my mind though and there's only one way to find out if it's effective here.
