Good point, Shelly. Ads in glossy magazines and the newspapers, are not what sell houses, nor do open houses and balloons, as Bobby J noted. Price, emotion and perceived value sells houses. Of course a good Realtor has an important roll in sales, especially for people who have limited knowledge of real estate sales and contracts. A good Realtor will also be reminding the right people of the tasks which must be completed, and the deadlines, etc. That Waffle House cook won't be able to help you with those matters, but I guess in the very loose sense of the term, yes, he could help you sell it, if it is priced at a "really good price."
