That's where we come in. In some cases, this is actually the better situation. Take for example, a new agent using the office computer or an agent who frequently travels out of the area. Web Sites like Yahoo, Hotbot, Excite and others give out free email service to anyone who wants it. With a free email address and a remote hosted web site, you can operate your Internet business and send and receive your email from your office Internet computer or any Internet connected computer, anywhere in the world and not worry about long distance charges or additional ISP charges for 800 access.
All advertising is good.
However, the Internet is quickly becoming the most active form of secondary advertising media there is for real estate. Beyond that, consider the amount of discretionary cash a person has to have just to be able to purchase the type of equipment and service required to get and stay on the Internet. One is just more specifically targeted at qualified buyers and competent sellers than the other. There is a good chance that someone out there might want to move to your town from somewhere else. In that case, if you are not on the Internet when they start looking, some other agent WILL get their business.
