The Dreaded Email Tsunami
I had a nice chat with a potential patio home buyer today.  He's found one of our posts about a specific area patio home community.
We talked about why there's a limited number of patio homes for sale, the typical prices for that community, and other area patio home communities that might be a good fit.
And just like any conversation, there are a few pieces of information I'd like to collect:
Name (of course!)
Phone number (you called me, so I'll add you to the contact list on my phone)
An email for unobtrusive contact and the buyer or seller can review at their leisure
 
It's that last piece of information that can make some buyers and sellers a bit nervous.  They've given out their email in the past and gotten the dreaded email tsunami.  Email after email with information they had no desire to receive.  Or home for sale after home for sale, none of them really close to anything they're interested in. 
So do they trust me today?
Here's what any home buyer or seller should know.
We DO NOT give their email to any other company without express permission.  No mortgage pro is going to contact you.  No insurance salesman.  No security system company.  NO ... more
