Is it a good idea to follow up w/ prospective tenants?

[Melissa Kessler]

Hi,

I recently had a very large pool of tenants during the recent turnover.....including one person that was very nice, but aggressive (ie. called me when my agent was 1 minute late (literally) arriving at the house for the showing (emails twice/day).. and others that were very polite - should I respond with a quick thank you note for looking at the home, yet letting them know they were not selected?    I do not feel obligated to let those know that did not actually come see the house, otherwise, I'd be writing 100 notes..

What are your suggestions for letting people know they were not the tenant selected?

Thanks!

Quote from @Nathan Gesner:

When someone is aggressive or rude, I shut them down. If you don't feel comfortable telling them to leave you alone, just block their email and phone.

I would not respond to everyone and I don't think it's expected. If you do want to respond to all of them, create a simple generic message you can cut/paste to save time.

 Nathan,

The value you bring to this forum is nothing short of incredible!

So often I find myself skipping to your posts because of how concise and knowledgeable they are

Thank you for all of your input
