Appraisal Today
E-mails -
Who's Who and What's What
A brief history - June 1994 to May, 2000
Weekly emails have been sent out by our publisher, Ann O'Rourke, since June,
1994, starting with only four appraisers. The first email was about FIRREA. The
list was expanded to include appraisers on CompuServe, to let them know about
the topics of the weekly live chats (discontinued after several years).
Over the years, the list expanded to about 700
appraisers by the end of 1998. In January, 1999, this web site was launched and
the "in house" list has grown to over 3,000 appraisers.
In mid - September, 1999, a company called e-appraiser, owned by Joan Trice, SRA, started sending out the weekly emails to the
Appraisal Today list and her email list for a total of over 40,000
appraisers.
Frequently asked questions (answered by Ann
O'Rourke)
Why am I getting all these emails?
If you are on the e-appraiser list, you are getting emails three to four times a week, even if you
previously only only received the weekly Appraisal Today e-news on Mondays. (see
below).
Should I register here if I already get your
emails from e-appraiser?
I have a separate list and send emails just to my list and not to e-appraiser
periodically, particularly for hot news.
How do I get rid of duplicate emails?
Emails are sent out by address, not by your name by e-appraiser. If you have more than one
email address in the system, you will receive duplicate emails. To remove the
ones you don't want read the instructions at the bottom of each email.
Note: Sometimes duplicate emails are sent out
because there are computer/Internet problems. To be sure everyone receives the
emails, they are sent out twice.
What is e-appraiser?
- e-appraiser sends out my emails and
the return address has e-appraiser. Our only business connection is
that e-appraiser sends out my emails and handles the e-mail
advertising.

and sends out four emails a week.

What is Appraisal Today e-news?
Appraisal Today is part of Real Estate Communication Resources, a publishing and

Us.
Why did you switch to e-appraiser?
- Money - After working for free for five years,
I am now able to take email ads,
- Wider distribution - my emails went from 3,000
appraisers to 40,000 appraisers within 6 months!
- e-appraiser manages sending out all the emails
and has a dedicated e-mail server
What's the difference between the e-appraiser
list and your list?
- I send out periodic special emails just to my
list, and not to e-appraiser, such as hot news and business tips. To get
these emails, you must subscribe to my list.
- My Appraisal Today list is "opt in"
- all the appraisers on the list have requested to be on the list (except
for a few CompuServe people from the "old days").
- At present, the e-appraiser list is almost
100% from their appraiser directory. They recently added a page on their web
site for new subscribers. Everyone on the e-appraiser lists receives emails
Monday through Thursday.
- The lists are separate, but both receive the
weekly Appraisal Today e-news.
How many emails does e-appraiser send out?
E-appraiser sends out four weekly emails. The email
newsletters are:
- MONDAY - e-appraiser Dispatch - What is happening on
the e-appraiser site…..new features, new products, upcoming Guest Speakers,
etc., sent to

How do I sign up the e-appraiser-only
daily emails?
Go to www.e-appraiser.net and click on
the Newsletter link on the home page. Don't worry about duplicate sign-ups as
the email software automatically removes any duplicate email addresses.
What's the difference between registration on
this web site and the e-appraiser web site?
I have my own email list, which I maintain. I send out periodic emails, which
don't go to those who are only on the e-appraiser list.
How do I stop unsubscribe and stop getting
emails?
Note: You must unsubscribe from each weekly email.
- Open the email from each email you want to
cancel
- Read the instructions at the bottom of each
email.
What if you can't stop the emails, even after
trying to cancel them, or it is too much of a hassle to cancel?
