Real estate is STILL a people business. The overwhelming majority of real estate transactions still rely on face to face interaction on a personal level.
Real estate agents work very hard to place their product in front of as many potential buyers as possible. It is time consuming and expensive to list property.
So it logically follows that if our marketing efforts generate interest in a property, at some point, the relationship has to be taken to the next level: i.e. a real conversation.
And while I enjoy the creativity you employed in filling out the contact information, I often wonder why you choose to hide behind a pseudonym.

Let us know when you hear back from Elvis.
I see that you used some target words in your titile, has this help and do you anticipate a good hit ratio from it.
I took the "must leave info" off my page's IDX for a "test" run and my contacts dropped off a little, it was only the fake ones though, so I've left it off.
Erv...
I will. I promise! lol and thanks.
Winston...
I didn't think about that at first, but before I posted the thought did occur to me!!! These are actually names that showed up as new contact information.
Hi Richard, I'm here by way of Bryan Robertson's suggestion to check out your blogposts. This was an excellent post about the benefits a real estate agent can provide. Catchy title!
Well put and tweeted to get the message out!
Interesting title...that grabbed a lot of folks attention too I bet. YOu always do such a good job!
Ahhh Man! And I thought I had a good one when Mickey Mouse contacted me just the other day!
Perfect title and just hit the suggest tab. Make it a great day!
Richard I have wondered as well why people leave ficticious names. Seems so pointless. I like what you say....
We do so because we truly believe that we are in the best position to assist you with one of the most important financial transactions in your life.

Another well written post. I recently saw a buyer's name as "Mary Buyer" on an open house guest register. Cute.
Great pic of the home, how can the lawn be edited to a lovey green? Maybe the Jolly Green Giant!
HA! We get this all the time. I hope they see your blog post RW!
Richard,
I often wonder if it's other agents in my area who are doing this just to see what I provide.
Rich
This happens to me too. If you want honesty and hard work, I'm here for you, be honest with me.
Found it on Rich's reblog. This is great!! I am out of suggests but will use it tomorrow if its not already featured!! Great job!
Love this post Richard! I cannot believe it hasn't been featured yet! Well hopefully my suggest will change that. I hope those leaving fake names read your post too and know that we can't force you to buy or sell. All we can do is contact you and it doesn't hurt lol :)!
I don't know why the public is so afraid of connecting with a real estate agent? If we're awful, it's not like we've got you in a sci-fi tractor beam that you can't escape.
