I think we kept playing telephone tag!

The one thing that bothers me is there is no telephone contact.

Most of the sales pitches people here from 'professionals' via the telephone for mentorships or apprenticeships haven't the credibility that calling your own real estate agent, or banker/lender. 

Two responses: 1) there is still the Seller's agent in the middle and 2) many Seller's would rather talk straight with Buyer and avoid the game of "telephone" with agents (A says to B, who reports to C, who informs D). 

I get many telephone calls from agents trying to sell me their own personnel listings.

This will permit small volume callers to comply with DNC requirements of TSR (Telemarketing Sales Rules) without having to download potentially large lists of all registered telephone numbers within a particular area.What happens to companies that don’t pay for access to the registry?

It seems that over the last couple of years there are more and more signs albeit higher and higher up the telephone poles.

The competition is fierce and the number of letters and telephone calls I get is annoying.

They will fill in whatever information you want - all you really need is their email, name, and telephone number.
