No Call Policy

Imagine one evening that you're relaxing at home with your family. The phone rings and when you answer it, the voice on the other end says "Hi, I'm Doctor So & So, I understand you're new in town and wondered if you might consider me for your family doctor." Now, you might think this scenario is absurd; professionals don't cold call people to solicit business, that's what salespeople do. Professionals build their business by referral. That’s what I do… "build my business by referral"... I am a Professional REALTOR®.

I don't know about you, but I really resent salespeople calling me. If a business sends me something by mail, I can choose when and if I give it attention, but salespeople on the phone are an invasion of my privacy and disturb my family time. Therefore, Tom Scaglione, REALTOR®, has a policy that's rather unique in the Real Estate industry and is simply as follows:

I do not call anyone who's registered for any of my services or ordered any of my materials, unless I've established a relationship or they ask me to call. PERIOD. I only communicate via email unless directed by you otherwise.

Now, many of my colleagues think this policy is crazy, but I think the consumer appreciates having their privacy respected. If you appreciate being serviced when you ask for my assistance, rather than feeling sold to, I hope you'll reward me by letting others know about me and the unique way I practice Real Estate.
