I'm sure there will be valid arguments on both sides of this issue, but this a growing problem for me and a number of other agents I've talked to recently.
I'm sure we all get plenty of spam daily and my inbox is certainly no different. Spammer's nationwide will continue to load our inboxes about anatomical enlargement drugs to business development seminars.
But what about the spam we get from other agents. Yes, I said spam. A growing trend in my area is for agents to email blast hundreds or even thousands of agents advertising each new listing these agents receive. I do understand the purpose but I have access to the MLS and can easily locate suitable properties without crowding my inbox with additional spam. I don't fault agents for working hard on behalf of their seller clients, but how about some consideration for those of us who are spending more and more time deleting emails advertising properties in areas that I would seldom have a client interested.
Thankfully, my spam blocker is catching more of these each day, but I still thought it might be worthy of some discussion.
Please let me know your thoughts pro and con. Thanks.
