Concur with Michael Quarles - we use first-class stamps on all our letters but don't consider the type of stamp to have much statistical relevance.From a marketing standpoint, your various campaigns should be designed to work together as a system.

It's bold to call them out when they're not helpful and it got you results.

Good luck - Ned I saw a presentation last night and they guy had statistics on housing in the U.S.

If the number is big and bold some will call as soon as they get it, if not they may set it aside and never come back to it.Greg

I dont know if I'm bold enough(money-wise) to try to spend the money to track those results for 6mthsBTW,I need to start coming to the WCRT meetings and networking

Such a statistical long shot.

Area statistics show we should be shopping in the $150-$250 ARV range, as the median home price falls here and right now they have low DOM in most areas.

You can do tests with as few as 500, but the smaller the count, the lower the statistical relevance to the larger market.

I am only 38 so I am not close to retirement.Being that my income comes from brokering commercial real estate transactions I am not like others working a job where they worry about layoffs as you mentioned and transferring to a lower paying job etc.I did read a statistic a few years back that said on average I believe about 70 to 80 percent change careers every 5 to 7 years.

Wow Michael Quarles, I can't believe you're so bold w/ your sellers.
