In his real estate interview at Real Estate CyberSpace Radio he discusses the following real estate information:

Email Communication with Buyers and Sellers

1. In today's market, buyers are looking at more properties and waiting longer to buy; it is imperative that agents keep in touch with them by phone, mail and email to let them know immediately what properties are listed.
2. Most multiple lists allow agents at no additional cost to enter buyers' preferences and have appropriate new listings sent to both the buyer and agent by email; not all agents take advantage of this powerful option.
3. Most contact management programs track daily activity for listings such as ads, showings, agent calls and web site requests; the programs also can update sellers regularly by email on such activity; Barrett uses Respond from the Marketing Library as his contact management system.
4. Agents should get the email address of both husband and wife clients to assure that both receive continual communication; copying sellers on all replies to inquiries is another tip for keeping them informed.
5. Email has the double benefit of being low cost and instantaneous; the tool allows agents to work at their own convenience, day or night.
