I just stumbled upon a new feature in Gmail called CANNED RESPONSE.

After logging into Gmail, you find it by

1) clicking on SETTINGS (top right) and then

2) clicking on  LABS (upper right) and then

3) half way down you need to ENABLE Canned Responses.

Why does this save a TON of time? Well if you get emails or leads from people asking for rentals in another state and you don't want to be rude and ingore them, just write a canned response once. Or if you tend to ask the same follow up questions like "Are you working with a lender" or "What area are you considering" you can write several one liners or multi paragraph responses.

Sure you can save a version in a text doc and open it, but this 1 click little feature is awesome.

Enjoy.
