Dustin, I hate them and send them to JUNK!! Of course we get these from 17 counties in East Tennessee and none of them pertain to us.

I find them very annoying unless it is a Realtor I really now well and is need of my help. But just send the flyers agervating I don't even read them.

I feel the same as Pam.  The only good part is, I steal their email lists and paste them in my own master list.  

Dustin,

I am torn by email flyers on MLS. I am not sure that is the good way to spend your money. I do mls searches for the client, but they do make us aware of what is up.

I am the odd (wo)man out!  I actually appreciate the e-flyers.  I send them out all the time with an opt-out, I've had many Realtors call or e-mail and say they appreciate them also.  I've also gotten 'hate mail' from them...so I know there are the wants and want-nots. 

I like the ones which show the major cross sreers, rather than the address.  I do browse and delete - does not bother me.

I get annoyed by them as well.  I've noticed them to be more common here recently.  

I block all emails from that broker.  It's just not a thoughtful thing to do and so I don't want anything from them.

Complete junk... in the old market a few years ago when we were waiting for a listing to come on in a certain neighborhood... this would have been useful. But now it is just a waste of time. I was actually going to blog about this but I will give you the very condensed shortened version. Realtors need to quit marketing to other realtors and learn how to market to prospective buyers. Easier said than done I know. But it is the truth of the matter.

Dustin I delete them 99% of the time. Hey look I got a fruit word plum

I hate'em.  I can't really fault those who use them, though.  Every once in a while, I'll look at one if it looks like a unique property.  Since all advertising is really just a numbers game, I suppose my occassional peak justifies the practice and contributes to the epidemic.  My bad.

Dustin - I will always click in to see what it is unless I think it may be a virus, however, I can't remember the last time I ever paid any attention. I hit delete probably 5 seconds after I look at it. I don't think unsolicited emails are effective.

I think its CRAP.  If I am looking for homes for my clients...guess what, I HAVE ACCESS TO THE MLS.  I know where to look and what to look for.  Agents need to stop spamming each other...

It looks like they are desperate.  It is never good when I see that. 

In the MLS system I use, you can opt out of these types of mailings so I figure why not send an email about an open house / brokers open / price change on a listing you have.  If the agent really doesn't want them they should have opted out of it to begin with and there would be no problem.   Just my thoughts.
