Phone number - local or not

Debra Grumbach

Just looking for a general opinion here. Do you think it matters if you have a "local" phone number as a real estate wholesaler or agent? My current phone number is 7 years old and has an area code of 978. Not local. There is however a local area code of 972 and yes, I have had to repeat my area code since moving here to make sure local businesses don't input the wrong phone number on my account. That doesn't really bother me so much. I am slightly concerned that someone may pick up one of my "marketing pieces" or what have you and write down my number wrong or simply disregard me because my number is obviously not local. Am I over thinking this? Should I change my number or keep it?
