All parties appreciated the opportunity to get it done!"

Daniel Francis:  MORE listings with LESS competition.  Ask me How! (StepStone Realty, LLC): Broker Owner in Austin, TX Daniel Francis: MORE listings with LESS competition. Ask me How! (StepStone Realty, LLC) said 2 months ago,
"Recently my blog entitled "Why Short Sales are the Easiest Way to Grow Your Business" was featured by Active Rain on the Daily Drop. I got a lot of great comments and feedback from agents all over the country and we signed up 43 new agents for our short sale processing program! One agent who registered on our site ended up getting a listing out of it too! Often times, distressed sellers contact us directly and we happily hand those sellers off to agents who have registered with us in the past. One such seller contacted us that week from Hawaii. We had yet to work with an agent in Hawaii so we weren't sure what to do. But thanks to Active Rain, an agent from Hawaii read my blog and registered with our site. I bet he was surprised to get handed a listing the very same day he registered! Active Rain is not only helping me grow my business, its helping us match seller with Active Rain agents."

"I think I started on activerain about 6 years ago. Well about 4 years ago I got a call from a frustrated seller who was listed with a esssentially non working agent. She said she wanted to list with me, because after all, I was #1. I was stumped at first. I was not #1 in our market but why did she think I was? I discovered that I was #1 for my town on Activerain. Somehow she had come across that. We listed, I worked hard and got it Sold! True story!!!"
