Hi guys,

Just thought I'd post something that might help some MMW members out there. When I've been sending out the following following 9 little word email:

"Are you still looking for a home in _________?"  When I get a no, especially this time of year, I ask them if they are going to pick up the search again in the spring.  70% of my no's have said yes they will.  Food for thought...

It's a good one Justin.

I have a throwdown hotmail account and sign into a lot of agent websites in my town- just to see what they do.

Every and I mean every response I get is the "all about me" (the agent), how wonderful they are, what they're going to do for me, yada, yada.  It's funny too because a lot of them are using a popular idx here- Market Leader's Vision product. 

They don't even bother to change the automated emails!

Not one person in 6 months has sent me anything even like the email above. Or bothered to ask ME what I might be looking for.

There's good news in all this Justin.  More opportunities for you and me to connect in a meaningful way designed to encourage the prospect to engage us.

John
