Much like a home for sale, the first priority is NOT sending a negative impression to a perspective home buyer. Curb appeal, a nice front door with a shiny lock and door knob will allow buyers to see the home with a neutral point of view. So, what signal are you sending clients with your email address? Do you think it does not matter? If you happened upon 2 web sites and the email addresses are:
My company, Get Us A Home Realty and my address is Frank@GetUsAHome.com & Jodi's company which is AtlantaRelocate.com, her address is Jodi@AtlantaRelocate.com
or
We Sell Atlanta Real Estate, and the address is JohnDoe@hotmail.com
Who would you more likely contact? We see agents who have been in business a long time with email addresses more suited for casual contact than a professional appearance. Does it matter? We think it does, once someone has found your website, which looks professional and is user friendly, why give the impression you have just entered the business with a yahoo or hot mail email address? We have an 888 toll free number, it is seldom used nowadays, it forwards calls to my cell phone. Why do it? We are a small company and it is imperative that we make an impression. Also folks will remember your address and company more easily with this type email address. Give yourself every chance you can to make an impression on a perspective client, and this is a inexpensive way to do it. Good Luck!
