NACHI Real Estate Newsletter

[Chris Morrell]

The latest real estate newsletter has started sending. It'll take approximately 48 hours for the entire queue to get sent. I'll let y'all know when the mailing is done.

Cheers,

[Nick Gromicko]

48 hours! Wow.

Nice work Chris!

[Erby Crofutt]

583 contacts on the way! If this was happening more regular, I'd take the time to add a bunch more addresses.

Any comment on the plan for more?

[Nick Gromicko]

Member John Onofrey has a regularly sent one that I think is really good.

Hey Erby,

Upload your emails at the end of each day. I've only been a member for 16 months and have over 18,000 client addresses in the database.

Nick has stated the e-newsletter program is up and running again. We need "Content". New, fresh, inovative content. I've sent Nick serveral ideas from the membership here in California. If you have any ideas email them to Nick. It's a great program. Chris has the e-newsletter system working great and it's one of the marketing benefits included in our NACHI membership dues...

[Russell Spriggs]

Yep, there were a bunch of us who sent in articles for use, but new ones are always welcome and needed.
With NACHI sending them out, John O (see my link, bottom of www.cdaInspector.com) sending HHN, and we sending our own, it adds up to a good number of RR "bops" per month!

Last night some new cool features were added to the system including the ability for members to review and edit their list of real estate agent email addresses.

Members can also now download their list into an Excel file, manipulate, and upload them back easily.

Here's one of the responses received today from the e-newsletter yesterday:

Dear Will,
I received your newsletter and I thought it was full of good information. Would you like to have your newsletter on my website? I have a buyers page and I think it would be great to have a link to your newsletter.
Also, do you do inspections in the Palm Springs area? I look forward to hearing from you.

Your Realtor,
Catherine Marcy
RE/MAX Real Estate Consultants

I've received (7) responses today regarding the e-newsletter. (1) negative email, (2) positive emails and (4) positive phone calls. I received (5) inspection orders today. On two of the orders, the first topic of conversation was the e-newsletter. The one negative email, was a complaint with regard to content issues about "Buyers Agents".

This is a "Great" program. Thank you to Chris and Nick for the opportunity to continue use of the program and to expand its reach and benefits to real estate professionals, the home buying and selling public and the NACHI membership.

2 days ago:
When my secretary told my client and his Agent that I would be sending out the report by email the Agent asked if he would be put on a list for e- advertising. She said not going to happen and he was pleased as he said he get's so much crap from vendors?????? Thats 1 of maybe 550+ agents I have delt with.

I still do not like the news letter. If you are going to send it to Agents make it Agent specific. And if all was good
you would send a sample to members for approval before sending it out.

I guess that werte John O. comes in.

I started uploading the address's to NACHI a little bit each night after work. I've been doing that consistantly for the past 16 months. I'm a firm believer the future of our business is in the internet and the paperless environments. In the past month I've received 2 inspection orders from client's in Italy, 1 from Japan and 2 from Canada, (Each pre-paid via PayPal - I love PayPal). Not to mention dozens of inspection orders from out of state. It's a changing business environment, we need to be at the front of the wagon, not the rear.

Go NACHI....

I concur.

Why can't we make these emails R/E agent friendly? It's not that complicated.

NACHI can simply start taking material from here... Attachment 3132
