How One Amazing Email Tool Keeps Me & My Inbox Sane


Do you find that despite all of the modern conveniences and technology that we now have at our disposal, there still aren't enough hours in a day to manage it all?


We have more information to remember than ever, endless emails, voice mails and text messages which all require different passwords and devices to access them.

Now add buying or selling your home to the mix, and you may quickly begin to feel a little overwhelmed once you start putting together your own “to do” list of tasks needed to begin the process. From curb appeal to loan approval, both buyers and sellers can easily become overwhelmed managing their regular lives on top of their new role as a buyer or seller.

While my goal is to keep my clients buying and selling experience as stress-free as possible, we can all benefit  from a little help keeping ourselves organized.

One tool that I recently discovered for personal reminders, scheduling emails to be sent later, and most importantly, reminders to follow-up with people is aptly named Boomerang.


Designed for Gmail, Outlook, and mobile platforms, Boomerang gives you a set of powerful tools you can use:

Send an email later
With Boomerang, you can write an email now and schedule it to be sent automatically at the perfect time. Just write the message as you normally would, then click the Send Later button.

Follow-up reminders
Use Boomerang to take messages out of your inbox until you actually need them. Just click the Boomerang button when you have an email open, and choose when you need it again. Boomerang will archive the message and back to your inbox, marked unread, starred, or even at the top of your message list.

Remind you if you don't hear back
There are times you need to make sure you follow up within a specific time frame after sending a message. You can select to only be reminded if nobody replies, or regardless.

While there are many tools out there to help us increase our productivity,  there are still only 24 hours in a day.  So I’m always looking for ways to help my clients improve not just their real estate deal, but their lives as well!

I hope you found this information to be helpful, and if you ever need a little assistance when buying or selling your home, contact me!
