I got an Active Rain referral today.  It's been just about one year since I joined Active Rain, this is my second Active Rain referral. 

How did I do it?  Simple.  A few days ago, Katerina Gasset wrote a post entitled Your Active Rain Profile Link Tutorial in 3 Easy To Follow Steps!   I just took the time to follow Katerina's 3 step tutorial.  By the way, it is very fast and extremely easy.

Today I received a telephone call from an Indiana Realtor.  She was looking for someone to work with her long time client who is moving to Sun City Grand.  I asked the agent how she found me.  The agent found me through my active rain profile and immediately called me.  WHOA!  We agreed on the referral amount and within a few minutes after I sent her my referral form, she had it completed and faxed back.

The best of all, the buyer will be paying cash, does not have to wait for a house to sell AND wants a fast close of escrow.  What more can this Realtor® from Hilo ask for?

In a market in which buyers are king, having a buyer referral is most welcomed.  Thank you Katerina.  Active Rain YOU ROCK!

Great story.  Congratulations! I haven't had that happen to me yet, but with the AR network working for all of us, I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

Warmest Aloha Leolinda - I have wonderful friends and property manager colleagues on the Big Island of Hawaii - both on the Kona coast and in the Hilo area.  The Big Island is one of my favorite places to visit.  Anyway - Thanks for sharing this post.  Great information.  I immediately followed the link you provided, read Katerina's blogs and have updated my profile. Mahalo!

Leolinda, that's great news and what we all aspire to here on AR. 

Your timing is perfect - I've been thinking about my profile for the last few days and meaning to rework it.  With this new information, it should come out better than ever - thanks!

Mike

Thanks for the info, Leolinda and congratulations on your sweet referral.  Not sure it applies to me, since I don't think too many realtors are going to refer business to a dog....but maybe I'll tell Laraine about it. (if she promises to make pizza tonight) Ralph

My Active Rain profile is a real source of business for me. I don't fool around with it. I'm so glad you took the time to take those simple 3 steps and see how much you are greatly rewarded now. Congratulations on the feature and most of all, congratulations on the new client!

I need to review my profile--it's so easy to get caught up in posting and commenting and forget about the profile, but is an important part of the referral decision.
