A real street sign in Austin MN
Just some random thoughts about spam. In general people don’t like spam. I am referring to “junk” email not the Hormel product that people eat.
It has gotten to the point where most people would rather give out their social security number than their email address yet there are buyers that want me to email new listings to them. Realtors can do some pretty sophisticated searches, I guess membership has it’s privileges and I can probably find a needle in a hay stack because I am THAT good. I can search for a brick house with central air and a fenced in yard on a north south street if you like but if you use Yahoo or Aol for your email the email I send from out multiple listing service will probably end up in that place where the junk email goes.
If you want my help fining a home you may need to add me to your “safe senders” list. I am safe . . well as safe as any sales person who works on a 100% commission basis can be.
Sellers have a different attitude about Realtor spam. My sellers want us to blanket the planet with advertising about their home up to and including sending solicitations to uninterested parties in the form of emails.
Would you like to be me? For a day even? I didn’t think so.
I don’t want to live on Spam Blvd.
