Custom email address for queries

I was wondering if when sending out queries, it is beneficial to use a custom email address (i.e. [email protected]) rather than a standard [email protected]?

I have a website but have yet to set up an email address with it (I'm a bit challenged with technology). Though if agents take queries coming from a custom email more seriously than those without, I'll definitely work on figuring it out.

Has anyone queried both ways and noticed any differences?


Thanks!

Use your name as the email. For example: [email protected]. Just as you would on a resume.

No one will take you seriously if you use [email protected]. And using a custom email such as [email protected] is unnecessary because (I'm assuming) you'd have to pay for the domain and I don't think it's worth the money.

You want them to associate your name to your email. It makes it easier for agents to remember you.

Ahh remember the days of AOL... I do already have the domain so it would be either [email protected] or [email protected]... Though I have to say I like the gmail version better because the other option seems a little self indulgent.
