Real estate transactions can usually be completed in one month.
The rates for advertising during the spring are lower than the rates during other times of the year.
Other real estate companies increase the amount they spend on advertising during March.
The spring advertising campaign is better at promoting general awareness of the Macmoo brand than it is at generating sales leads.
