It has started again.  Just had another call from homes dot com.  This time it was on the office voip line which isn't on the do no call list yet. This company has called me previously on my cell phone which is on the DNC.

It was really quite funny because he went out of his way to mention Point2 and how they didn't want to sell me what I already had.  He did, however, want to diss search engine placement and how my little HUD home listing in Snyder wasn't showing up on the first page of the google search.  He made a big deal that people aren't looking on Point2 unless someone local to where the prospect is located has a website and they would find Point2homes that way.  They are really going to start hitting hard on the Point2Homes and try to show that it doesn't do what Point2 says it will do.  A futile effort if you ask me but I guess their people have to have something to do all day.   

Snyder is an hour and a half away from my office .. one of my distant HUD counties that I handle so it isn't one of my usual areas for "normal" real estate.  Frankly, I don't care if it shows up in search engines because the most likely buyer is one who already lives in Snyder, someone who will probably be a driveby who sees my sign and then logs into the web direct.  That is where most of my traffic comes from anyway ... direct web address entry.  West Texas isn't exactly a hot spot for 2nd homes and certainly isn't a "move-to" area like Miami or resort cities.  I tried to be polite and tell him that I get plenty of traffic on my website.  Then he started talking about capturing information.  I told him that I get plenty of information about prospects who visit the website and that I don't have any trouble getting contact information from prospects who live anywhere in the world (gotta love those military bases).  I finally told him that I was not going to pay for any more services.  He then asked if I would mind referring him. I told him no, probably not and he said "no, of course not" real snotty.  I didn't let him go on, politely thanked him for calling and hung up.
