An address like **ana@anarealty.com** says something very different from **ana.homes1987@gmail.com**. For a real-estate agent, your own domain is part of your brand: it appears on business cards, ads, contracts and your website. This guide explains how to choose one, what to configure and how to get it free on Multilistado.

## Why use email on your own domain

- **Trust.** Buyers and owners receive many fraudulent messages; a verified domain of your own stands out from any free account.
- **It is yours.** If you change email providers or agencies, your domain and your address go with you.
- **It reaches the inbox.** With the right security records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), your emails are less likely to land in spam.
- **One name for everything:** website, email, cards and social media.

## How to choose and buy the domain

1. **Short and easy to spell over the phone.** Avoid hyphens and numbers if you can.
2. **Your name or your agency's**, rather than a generic word.
3. **Ending:** `.com`, `.mx` or `.com.mx` are the most common in Mexico.
4. **Buy it in your own name** at a registrar (e.g. Akky, GoDaddy or Namecheap). It usually costs a few hundred pesos a year; Multilistado quotes about MXN 300–500 a year as a reference.
5. Turn on **auto-renewal** so you don't lose it.

## What SPF, DKIM and DMARC are (in plain words)

| Record | What it does |
|---|---|
| SPF | Lists which servers may send email on behalf of your domain. |
| DKIM | Signs every email to prove it was not altered on the way. |
| DMARC | Tells others what to do if an email fails SPF or DKIM, and sends you reports. |

Without these three records, Gmail, Outlook and other providers trust your emails less. Setting them up by hand means editing your domain's DNS zone.

## Options for professional email

- **Paid email providers** (cloud office suites): they charge per mailbox per month and you configure the DNS records.
- **Your website hosting**, if it includes email.
- **Multilistado (free for licensed agents):** connect your domain by pointing its nameservers to ours and create up to **25 mailboxes of 2 GB**, with branded webmail and SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up automatically. The domain stays in your name at your registrar; if you ever leave, you switch the nameservers back.

> Email on Multilistado requires **your own domain**: a Multilistado subdomain cannot be used for email, so the address and sending reputation belong to you.

## Before switching nameservers

If you already receive email on that domain with another provider, new mail will start arriving at Multilistado once you switch the nameservers. Create the same mailboxes first and keep a copy of your old mail. If you prefer to keep your current provider, you can connect only your website.

## FAQ
### Can I get email on my domain for free?
On Multilistado, yes: with your domain connected you create up to 25 mailboxes of 2 GB at no cost. You buy the domain yourself at your registrar (usually a few hundred pesos a year) and it stays yours.

### Can I use a Multilistado subdomain for email?
No. Email requires your own domain, so the address and sending reputation belong to you.
