Our Email Newsletter

[2/11/09 update - this old blog post has some defunct links in it. For the latest and greatest info, check out the new site.]

We sent an email today to our past, present and future customers. With addresses changing so often and email hosts being extra cautious with filtering out spam (rightfully so), we know some people will not receive the email version. So here is a reprint, blog-style:

We are writing today to give you an update on MLS4owners.com and the real estate advertising model you have helped make so successful.

THANK YOU
First, thank you. Without you we would not have grown to over $180 million in annual property sales since 2001, despite employing no real estate agents. Our customers are our best salespeople, and they tell their friends and neighbors about their experience. They have proved over and over again that homes priced well for their condition and location will sell when given the unique exposure and customer service offered by MLS4owners.com.

If you have a keybox that you are no longer using, thank you for sending it back to us. If you no longer have the preaddressed envelope, the postal address and delivery addresses are:

If you are presently advertising through MLS4owners.com and would like a report of recent NWMLS activity in your neighborhood, just drop us an email or visit http://www.mls4owners.com/P60.cfm . The data can help you understand your competition. The NWMLS also publishes a monthly report about market conditions, and we have it posted at http://www.mls4owners.com/P42.cfm .If you choose to do additional advertising on Craigslist.org or other websites or newspapers, the direct link to your ad is www.MLS4owners.com/?xxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx is your listing number.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Did you know that there are those who don't want you to have the freedom to choose the level of services you want from your real estate company? They want to impose "minimum service" laws, claiming you need protection from the likes of us, when in reality they are are trying to protect their turf. Real Estate Associations and the legislators to whom they make political contributions have made these efforts all over the country. Don't let it happen in your neighborhood. More information is available at http://www.mls4owners.com/P62.cfm .

PLAY THE REAL ESTATE GAME SHOW
We advertise in a number of ways to drive people to our website, where they can view our customers’ properties and learn about the program. People tell us all the time they have heard our radio ad. If you haven’t had the pleasure, here is a link: http://www.mls4owners.com/ftp/gameshow.mp3
