So I’m a realtor. I’m new to this group and really love @Ryan Hartman energy and the classroom videos I’ve seen so far. I am launching a new farm and my SOI mailing strategy. The budget isn’t crazy high right now until I get my first new listing out of it. That said I was pumped to see Thanks has a $49 month option and costs felt pretty low. But the professional plan is also $199. Same as the normal regular cost of Mailbox power. I’m on their webinar right now and haven’t set up an account at them or thanks.io So the genuine question for a logical buyer and financial guy like me, what makes Thanks.io the better option over mailbox power. I am looking for a long term option I do not want to join one and then switch to the other if not seeing results. Anyone who is active with thanks.io as a realtor or former Mpower user. What can you enlighten me on!!!

The example in the video is for real estate, but really this concept can work in a lot of industries. This works amazingly well... f you want help adding a campaign like this to your Thanks.io account shoot me a message.

Hey! New here. I am a realtor and my goal is 100 % listings for the remainder of 2026 and beyond, I’m happy to collect buyer leads and refer them out. Looking to connect with any realtors who are currently using Thanks.io for mailers and swap stories. I am happy to share what I am doing with my business to generate clients. I am getting certified now on a System with my mentor who listed and sold over 1200 homes in his fist 10 yrs in the business and was ranked #9 dominant in all of Austin. Comment below if you are an agent too and would like to collaborate
