Well, a few points of order.
- Using a purchased list in any of the legitimate mailers like Mailchimp and Constant Contact, will violate their terms of service and get your account suspended.
- People will turn you in to the email provider.
- I don't know any agent who likes getting emails about what they can already find in the MLS.
- Blindly sending your listing to agents will not only get you a bad reputation, but it's also ILLEGAL! It is unsolicited bulk commercial email and thus spam. This is a violation of the CAN-SPAM act.
- Yes, people will report you to the feds for spamming them.

It sounds like a plan to alienate yourself from other agents Robert Schmalz . What's the difference between "mass" and spam email?

Robert,
I read your profile, and I would not advise you to do that. We worked on the Westside and lived in Brentwood. This kind of mass mailing is a royal turn off, and you would be reported. Personally I report unsolicited emails, which include those who buy "supposedly vetted list." PS. The link to your website did not work. Best of luck. A

I wouldn't. Agents hate mass emails and typically delete, unsubscribe, mark as spam and even spit back at you with venom.
I quit emailing agents my listings years ago, got tired of all the anger.
Email those you know. Build a relationship list. I now have 1400+ agents that open my mail, because I have their permission and we have a relationship.

Your mls may have the ability to help you with this, but be careful they will likely require a good reason to allow you to send an email to their members.

Only email to agents and others that have subscribed to your email list.
Start a newsletter that provides topics of value to those that subscribe. It will take time.

There should be a way to do it via your MLS; call their tech people. Warning - many agents consider this kind of emailing spamming and don't appreciate it.

As a broker I would think this information is readily accessible. I know in Florida, not only is the data available but the agents HOME ADDRESS is published for the world to see.
Let start with #2.
#2 Get the list from DrBill.com Local list is FREE.
#1. How to spam agents:
a. obtains a burnable email address preferably not on a resource you use such as a service lactated Ukraine or an expendable one in USA.
b. buy a spammer program (SendBlaster) with block size sending and assignable IP. Configure the 'block send' size to be within the spammer limits of your ISP. I set mine to 49. DO not use a resource you can not afford to lose.
c. structure so the response to the CTA is the reward, not a reply to the email. Make certain to include yourself as a recipient. You should have an test email on Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook/hotmail and every service you can find. This way you can determine which one may be squashing your correspondence.Benefit number two is you will need these test emails to validate CRMs, many of which testing proves is too dangerous to use.
Best of success.

Hi, wow my question seems to have brought out the agent's rights team looking to protect everyone form Spam and making it look like I was a spammer.
In the Los Angeles area agents and brokers look for emails that are showcasing, new listings, open houses, off-market, REO's and Short sales.
I would imagine all of us look to these "mass email notification of a subject that is an interest to our profession"
Sure we search the MLS and look but what if we miss it? what if it just came on the market? what if it is an off-market listing etc how would you like to hear about it.
As it turns out the MLS has a way to download agent emails because they also realize that you can only access this list if you are a broker, which I am or an agent, and the only reason we are "spamming" is to supply information that 95% of the agents want to hear.
So for those of you that got so upset with this question think of the other side of the coin and not about all the spammer we have to put up with but what is the reason it is going out and does it serve the purpose of agents to gain knowledge. AND there is a little button that says unsubscribe. Funny I use TP and Constant contact and have never seen an active agent opt-out.
