Randy,

I can tell you this because I have realtors in my family so I hear about it quite often.

First, most of the emails they get are deleted without giving them a second look.

Secondly, all the business cards and flyers put in their mailbox at the office are trashed without a second look.

They receive so much of this stuff and honestly get tired of dealing with it.

So why not find another way or source to get the business. Go after the buyers directly.

I've mentioned before, that the best advertising I've done is marketing to sellers of homes in your area. First of all we know that their going to be moving and will be needing an inspector. Sure some will move out of town and you won't be able to help them. Ask them to leave your card out on the table with the realtors flyers or marketing material.

Marketing to realtors is not the only way to get business, and as most will tell you cannot rely on them as an only way to make your business work.
