I sent out twelve mails last night as a test. I received 4 responses within 2 hours. ( These are people that have been accepting email and content for months-years, but had never sent me any comments.) Here is a sample response-"We are looking at homes between York and the Maryland line. My home will be on the market in two weeks, after extensive updating. It's a waterfront 2 miles from Tampa Bay. Will be there when it's sold. We appreciate your alerts although I realize it's been a long time. Thanks for your help and hope to be in the area soon. Thanks again," This person registerred on my site on 5/3/08. This is the first email I had from them ( despite numerous drip emails and solicitations from me). Thanks for the excellent information.

[2] Does your program present a series of Email drip campaigns for prospective buyers, sellers and my sphere of influence? My research really hasn't found any good ones, certainly none with the psychological penetration of your simple, laconic approach. But Realtors need a general and sustained program for staying in touch by Email that's effective, just as I've seen already that you provide one for prospects by costly direct mail. Hey there, Dean,
