Your message should be informative and upbeat (DUH!) You can actually have 2
messages playing - offer  the 2nd message to a good loan officer that you
work with - If he or she is willing to rent your "commercial air time" for
say $50 a month, on 1 talking house, that will cover the $39.00 per month
lease on 3 talking houses - you do the math!

Another thing I think is effective is using Solar Flood lights on your FOR
SALE signs - it extends the time your signs can be read- I've actually
received messages  from lookers at 3:00am because  of the lights-- very
reasonable at Home Depot or Lowes - What could it hurt?

The bottom line is you can't catch any fish unless your lure is in the
water- so if you have a talking house- in a box- in your basement, don't
expect to catch much.
