Realtor Bad Etiquette
In the non-realtor world, it would be the equivalent of butting in line, or cutting someone off in traffic.
For Realtors, a common example of bad etiquette is blitzing several thousand Realtors’ mailboxes with a 17 megabyte electronic flyer like the one I received yesterday — an anvil of an email if there ever was one.
For non-geeks, that’s equivalent to several hundred regular emails.
The peak for such emails is usually Monday, when over-zealous Realtors hosting Broker Opens the next day try to stir up as much interest as they can.
To stand out, it’s natural to want to include as many high-end photos as possible.
However, that can be done less obnoxiously simply by adding (hypertext) links.
When I get email whoppers that overload my email box, like most recipients, I just hit “delete.”
