I’m sick of it.
I’ve just gotten yet another email from a real estate “guru” who never sends me anything but “invitations” to webinars and teleconferences.
Look, I’m all for webinars and teleconferences and even offer them myself sometimes. But geez! This guy, who is here in Atlanta, seems absolutely opposed to giving away any valuable content without delivering it through a teleconference and attaching a price tag to it.
So I made a radical decision: I looked through my e-mail to find the name of every real estate guru who has e-mailed me this week. And if I’ve not gotten at least one useful piece of information from them in that time period, I removed myself from their email list.
Enough is enough. It’s reasonable for these people to sell things to make money, but it’s nothing but purely disrespectful to you if that’s all they ever do. So here are the steps I recommend:
- Take a minute to go through your e-mail inbox for the past couple of weeks - it’s helpful to “sort” your inbox by the sender’s name
- For every email from a real estate “guru” - do a quick scan of the content they send you. Is any of it worthwhile or potentially worthwhile? If not, go to the end of any email from the guru and click the “unsubscribe” link.
- If the emails you receive from a particular guru are helpful or informative, send them a note or make a post on their blog thanking them for it - they’ll really appreciate it
Ok, my rant is over. Back to business

Bryan, you are so right! I’ve been trying to clear out my e-mail box but I don’t think I’ll ever get it all done! The ones that REALLY bug me are: (1) every time you sign up for a webinar or call they add your name to the mailing list again, so you get MULTIPLE copies of every message, and (2) the ones that put you on a “30 day free trial” when you sign up for their mailing list, and before you know it you are getting hit with multiple credit card charges for some subscription or membership and you don’t even know what it is. OK, maybe I’m partly at fault for that last one, but they really do trap you into it when you just want to get their “free” information.
Thanks for letting me rant, and for all the great–and truly FREE– information you send! I welcome your e-mails and all the information you provide.
Hey Bryan, You are SO right about MOST gurus. That said, THANKS for all your INSIGHT AND INFORMATION!
Wow you are right on all this garbage stuff. I have received in the last 3 months emails and duplicate emails from appox. so called GURU’S.
Wow, I am now deleting all of them. Just keeping a few like yours.
You are an honest person and I do enjoy your honesty on your websiste.
By the way, with one Guru, it took me 2 1/2 months to get them to give me a credit. Their accounting system is all screwed up. I called and called and emailed approx. 50 times, and all I received was comments, like we are looking into it. And never email me back in a normal manner and even after leaving my phone number for them, still no return calls back to me. Also I also want to know how did they get the 2nd credit card # for monthly fees of $99 a month. Wow Wee
I am done with all that. Thank you for letting me vent out. I needed this.
I hate when I get blasted with emails from 10 different gurus and the email content is exactly the same including the “my good friend… just launched a truely amazing progam”.
When I see that, I get completely discusted.
I’d have to agree. Promotions are fine in moderation, but unless they give some tips or helpful resources in the majority of emails it defeats the purpose of giving your address to begin with.
Im glad I am not the only one that feels like this. Everytime I go to my email there is no less than 8 differnt gurus selling something. Yes they give you just maybe an idea of what is is they are going to talk about. Then of course some of the are so obnoxious about voice blasts and they call you every hour. Thanks again for your great (FREE) information, it is very helpful.
