@Ray Dipasupil They are called Home encounter. 

After you get your license you will probably get calls from 30 different brokerages.

On time, called to confirm. polite, professional.

In fact we have an 8:45am conference call with the listing broker on this very subject.

I've got a fair bit experience in the neighborhoods you called out.

So I understand the basics of direct mail campaigns but my problem is knowing what to do when someone actually calls back!
