Ok, so I recieved the following email yesterday:
Hey Kelli,
This is Gabe Keogan, Senior Marketing Consultant with R.E.P.
I'm contacting you because I found you on NAR and I market for real estate agents nationwide. I'm going to be moving into your area this month and I need 2 agents who can handle a high volume of new prospective clients and work them till close.
We are an exclusive marketing company, and we only work with 2 agents or brokers per area.
If you would like to be considered for representation, please answer the following questions:
1. Are you a full time agent?
2. How many clients can you handle on a monthly basis?
3. What distinguishes you as quality agent/broker?
I will follow up with you after I've had a chance to review your responses. Be sure to include your contact information, best time to call and one alternative number to reach you at.
Thanks,
Gabe Keogan
Senior Marketing Consultant
So, I emailed this guy back and gave him my information and he called me back. So here is the catch:
This is a company that promotes Real Estate Marketing and what they do is provide you with a service to help boost your internet marketing strategies. They will route people to your website for a flat fee of $400-1100 instead of a pay per click depending on how much traffic you want per month. They also only contract with 2 other agents in your general area. They will build you 2 websites and maintain them both for $29 per month but an intitial charge of $1000. Now the cool thing is they do not make you sign a yearly contract, rather this is a monthly service that you can cancel at anytime without penalty.
So I guess what I need from you guys is an opinion. What do you think about the information that I recieved. Should I entertain the idea and get some more information or do you think that this is just a scam that in the end I will be kicking myself and wondering why I ever even tried it out.
I look forward to hearing all of your opinions.
Thanks,
Kelli McFarland
