I've lived and still have family in NoVa, but the contracting game is similar.

No voice mail (if I can help it) and no VA.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming…; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Theodore Roosevelt (From speech titled: The Man in the Arena: Citizenship in a Republic)

Quote from @Elvin Nova: @Mathieu LaquerreThree things I consider when choosing a CRM for myself was...How well does it integrate with other technologies I’m using.

Also I did a quick search on HUD.Gov I saw you are in Gaithersburg, MD so here's a direct link to the HUD first time home buyers programs available in your city. https://www.gaithersburgmd.gov...And this is the link directly to Maryland homebuying programs as a whole.https://www.hud.gov/states/mar...

this business takes elbow grease.so I hired a person to go into every county courthouse from the CA Oregon border to just south of Tacoma Washington on the Western side of the Cascade moutains and on the East side of the coast range.. and area probably bigger than the state of New Jersey.. in the courthouse they had great Arial Photogs  ( pre google days) that over laid onto plat maps all right there at the counter... he then built a data base took about 1 year of every land owner with 10 acres or more that was not corporate owned that had visible timber.. we then reserve directoried them.. that's how you find telephone numbers.. and since there were no VA's we hired telemarketers to come into our office 2 times a week and start calling..

Seems to be fueled by emotion.I was actually watching the PBS show Nova the other night and they explored the issue of emotion and the role it plays in determining market prices and how this manifested itself in the current financial crises.
