"...I received two calls that produced two separate deals."
Two or three days after the newsletter went out I received two calls that produced two separate deals. Met with clients who informed me that they received the newsletter and my ad showing the current mortgage interest rates. Thanks for the opportunity to advertise.

"....(your newsletter) is a "FIVE STAR*****".
Thank you for my first issue of realtyreport®, it was just outstanding! As a Manager and Company Trainer you have just made my job a delight.

I have reviewed many newsletters in my time and I have to say yours is a "FIVE STAR*****". The quality and content are of value to everyone, and I will continue to recommend you to all my agents. To your continued success!

"...one of my (previous) customers called who received the newsletter, he wants me to relist his home"
I just wanted to write you to express my appreciation for the time and effort you put into making my newsletter such a success. The newsletter Itself is absolutely beautiful, I wish I knew about your company three years ago when I first got into real estate. After the first mailing, one of my customers from two years ago, who received my newsletter, called me and wants to relist his home with me next Wednesday. I can't thank you enough for helping my business grow. I have gotten more compliments on my newsletter than you can imagine. You have been a great asset to my continued success.

"I am getting calls from people that I know I would never have otherwise heard from."
I have just submitted the material for my third issue of the realtyreport®, which I have renamed “Sylvia’s HOUSE CALL”. I absolutely love the name and I’ve got to tell you it’s the best money I have ever spent in advertising.
Since the first issue in January, the calls I have been receiving are phenomenal.
- Just yesterday I got a call from a Church acquaintance who said “Hey Sylvia, I just received your HOUSE CALL and it reminded me that I had to call you to tell you that my daughter will be in town next week and I suggested that you help her find a house.”
- Another call “Hey, just calling to tell you I love your HOUSE CALL. Your photo is great. And I will be calling you later in the month to get things rolling with my house.”
- I am currently in the process of listing a home in Burlington that I sold the (newly wed) owners 5 years ago. Being an Oakville agent, they may not have thought of me because I don’t keep in touch quite as well as I should, except, of course, for the yearly calendar. They called and said “Hey we just received your HOUSE CALL. Talk about timing … We were just wondering if you were still in the business. We now have two children and have outgrown our home and really need to move. Can you help us?”
And there have been quite a few other calls – some just saying thank you for remembering them, others commenting on the letter, and others asking for information. And these calls are from people that I know I would never have otherwise heard from.
Just having the mailing has given me more confidence and a "foot-in the door", so to speak. It is a conversation piece. It reminds people you are still in the business. And the publication is such a nice quality, you are proud to have your name on it.
I am very happy. And as I’m sure the people at realtyreport® will tell you, this testimonial comes completely unsolicited.

"...I have had five calls (from the newsletter) and turned one of them into a sale!"
Just wanted to express my thanks for the job you and your company are doing for me. Since I have started with you I am getting calls form people I haven't contacted in years. Last Monday my clients received your report and I have had five calls and turned one of them into a sale. I expect more sales in the next little while. Great Work!!!! Thanks again!!!!

"But where Market Connections excels is the people on their staff."
I am writing this letter to express my satisfaction as a customer of Market Connections Inc.. The products that I am using for my business as a Realtor are exceptional. As you know there is a lot of competition for marketing products. Some companies offer products just as good as the next guy with competitive pricing. But where Market Connections excels is the people on their staff.
Everyone that I have dealt with at Market Connections has been absolutely fantastic. Especially dealing with Roya, Ingrid and yourself. It has always a pleasure and you are the most professional collection of people I have had the privilege of doing business with. The company shold be thrilled to have you.
I look forward to continuing my business with you.

"...I actually receive calls from people I have never dealt with before to make sure I place them on my realtyreport® mailing list"
It’s been about two years that I have been using the realtyreport® newsletter, and I’d like to express how pleased I am at the positive results it has generated for me.
Interestingly, not only do I receive repeat business and feedback from past clients about the usefulness of the articles every month, but I actually receive calls from people I have never dealt with before to make sure I place them on my realtyreport® mailing list, so they can receive it too.
Moreover, the monthly report is a great after-sales tool that keeps me in contact with past clients; firstly showing them I’m still in the business, and most importantly, that I still care about them.

"I received 2 calls the first week it was out."
Thank you for all your help with my first realtyreport™. I received 2 calls the first week it was out. Those calls lead to appointments. I also received a call this past week, requesting more real estate information. This is such a great way to farm my area!

"...keeps me connected with them so that I remain 'top of mind' all the time"
I am now on my third issue of mortgagematters and I send it out to my
business partners and referrals as well as my clients. Not only does it
look professional, it is informative for my clients and more importantly,
keeps me connected with them so that I remain 'top of mind' all the time.
By keeping in contact with my clients through hard copy media such as
mortgagematters over e-marketing, I don't get lost in the 'junk
folder'!

"I have had great success with Realty Report"
I have had great success with Realty Report thus far. My clients, friends and family now look forward to receiving the newsletter and they also make requests for their friends and family to be added to my list. Great, helpful information, and an excellent opportunity to stay top-of-mind with my clients! Everyone wins!

"...helped me make consistent and meaningful contact with my potential clients as well as my past ones"
I did a lot of research before deciding on which newsletter company to use. I compared price, print quality, relevance of news articles and type of contract or commitment I would have to make before finally deciding on Realty Report. In all aspects, Realty Report came out ahead. Not only have I been able to create my own "Vidya's Realty News" with its own stylized masthead, I choose which type of newsletter will go to each client and edit my salutation letter and back page every month. There is such an opportunity to put my own mark on and personalize my newsletter that it really is my own.
The best part, however, is that I chose the product, and would have been happy with that alone. The real added value and bonus is the people who work at Realty Report. Every single one of them has been a delight to work with and each is patient and understanding when I need to tweak something or make a change or unusual request. I have often recommended Realty Report to fellow colleagues and thought I would write and let you know how you have helped me make consistent and meaningful contact with my potential clients as well as my past ones. Thank you for being such a high quality operation.

"This week, Mark has received 2 calls from past clients, and is working on a new deal for them."
It’s always great when a plan comes together! Mark and I have been using Market Connections for less than a year now, and recently our quarterly mailer was sent out. This week, Mark has received 2 calls from past clients, and is working on a new deal for them. Those two deals alone paid for the cost of this mailer – which shows that this program works!!!!! That’s what it’s all about.

"...it is well worth the expense and time."
I sent out about 200 of my first realtyreport® last October, and I received a response from an old colleague of mine, first to congratulate me on my new real estate career, but also to inquire about selling his home and purchasing a new one! We are listing his house soon, in a few weeks. I am really excited about it and am pleased with the responses I received. Even if I only receive one listing per mailing it is well worth the expense and time. Thank you so much for your help!
