Marketing Pitfalls for Blocks of Units: When Not to Waste on Paid Advertising (2026)

September 21, 2026

With blocks of units, throwing money at advertising isn’t always the path to the best sale. Simon Abbott details scenarios where open marketing (Domain/REA, social ads) is overkill: tenanted blocks, specialist investor assets, those in need of renovation, and off-market buyer-led deals. Instead, he shares when you should invest in campaign spend (vacant/renovated, mass appeal, multi-geography buyers). Highlighted by real stories: $20k saved using Simon’s database; major investor negotiations sparked off-market. Step-by-step strategy for campaign decisions, plus warnings for common vendor missteps promoted by non-specialist agents.
