In response to:
HouseValues.com has been trying to solicit my business.  They finally sent
me a few emails to review their information.  After reading the responses
here on RT, I sent the following email response:
"After reviewing your information and getting input from several ePRO
agents, I've decided to pass on your program.
Please remove me from your email and telephone lists."
Here was his response:
"Well this is why the system would work for you. It seems like the e pro
agents that you have talked with don't really know that much about the
internet if they are telling you to shy away from the number 1 program out
there.

I just received a similar call from HouseValues yesterday.
When I told the rep that I wasn't interested in their services, she replied
"Oh, so what you're saying is you don't see any importance in using the
Internet for your business." (What?! Was she reading the right page of their
scripts-lol!).  I replied:
No, ma'am, what I'm saying is simply this:
I, and my peers, do not need the "services" of any business model that is
actually a disservice to ourselves & our profession. Our own Web presence
can bring local, qualified, and otherwise REAL prospects to our practice
directly. An added perk is that when they submit a question or register,
they actually expect to be contacted. by me! Funny how that seems to start
things off on a better foot, don't you think?"
---- (but. umm. "But the internet is being used by..."  )

She maintained the nerve to send me an email to the effect of "When you
realize the importance of Internet marketing, HouseValues will be waiting."
Hmm. Since when did "Internet marketing" and "HouseValues" become
synonymous? Just my .02.
