Yes, and I like to get them. I like to see how other agents market their listings, what the houses look like, the prices, etc. I like the big picture view since I am very visual.

Against - I have the MLS if I want to see listings in their area I will go there. I opt out or block them.

Worse yet, is when their market is 25+ miles away or in the city.

I am clearly aligned with your feelings on the matter.  I was interupted at lunch by an agent today while having lunch with my husband and dear friend for her to tell me about a "deal" she has listed.  Ummm, yeah, it's in the MLS right?  Ugh.

I unsubscribe when it's an agent from my area. I can see the new listing in the MLS, and I can see it's had a price reduction in my MLS as well.
