CRS - Mailing Lists

Helpful Hints for Real Estate Professionals

  1. Farming capabilities: The idea is to continuously mail to the same geographic area (such as a subdivision) stating your expertise in that area. Check out our sample marketing letters.



  2. Prospecting by length of ownership (7 years in the national avg.).  You can combine this type of search with the "farming" example above. The national average is that homeowners will buy a new home roughly every 7 years. By searching owners who have owned their home for 5 to 15 years you are more likely, by average, to locate potential listings.

  3. Sample Search - For the Last Sale Date field enter the dates 01-01-1987 to 01-01-1997
    Last Sale Date..:  to   This will return properties owned for 5 to 15 years.


  4. Searching by address: Sample Search - If you want to find the address 2916 Barnard Road, try searching by entering the St Number and the 1st letter of the Street Name.
    St Number Dir Street Name Type(Rd,Dr..)

  7. Absentee owner search: The idea here is to find out-of-state or across town owners. There are two ways to do this...
    a) The first is to add a check to Absentee owners box. This selects properties by comparing the property's zip code against the owner's zip code. If the two zip codes are different, the property will be included in the results. However, if one of the zip codes is blank the property will not be included in the results.
    b) The second is to search for zips outside the range in your area. For instance if in our area the zip codes range from 37000 to 37999.. You must do 2 searches to find all the absentee owners. For the first search, enter Owner's Zip Code..:  to . Then for the second search, enter Owner's Zip Code..:  to
