Currently, many of the leads that come via email (people signing up for MLS searches through our company site) leave bogus email addresses and/or phone numbers because they do not want to be bothered. They may have questions, but are scared that they will get emails or phone calls if they give their info. By giving them a way to anonymously interact with an agent, they may be more inclined to ask questions. This will help build a relationship and possibly a client in the future.
