What Does Your Signature Say About You?

Email signatures are so important for giving contact information and ease of communication. At least have your name, company name, phone number and email.

We don't require that here, though before showing instructions are granted we ask for their license number. we do have a phone app to check this that would show any status. I also get in to the habit of Googling their name to see what shows up and how active they may be. All in all there are several ways to check.

Karen, you are right - sometimes I see an overdose of information in a signature - more than half-a-screen and sometimes it's just one liner without having any information about the person! Whereas it should somewhere inbetween - neither too big not too small. And of course, one should be able to get hold of the agent from the signature.

In Virginia, we don't have to include our license number but my signature has multiple methods if they wish to get in touch with me or check me out.  

Karen, We're the same with a contract.  A quick check to see their work history, how many transactions, listings, etc.  Doesn't always mean they'll be great or bad, but at least it typically gives us an idea of experience level and what we should expect.

I couldn't agree with you more Karen.  We need some information about who we are dealing with and an email signature is a great way to put that information out there. 

I had extensive info on the bottom of my email... and one day it was gone!  I don't know what happened.  I have been trying to decide what I want to add back to it or leave out.  I agree we all should include our contact info there.  Kathy
