You've received a contact message from your Contact Form

on the ActiveRain network.*

If you ever think it's not going to happen be patient.  You just never know when you will receive a treat such as this.  Although I have been very busy with real estate, family, two new puppies (need I say more?), and have not posted in way too long, out of the blue came that welcomed request.

Within days the prospective buyers came down and fell in love with Lake Anna.  Smart, discerning folks!

Today, less than two weeks later, my clients have a contract on a home that in the words of the wife "spoke to her".  When I heard her share that sentiment with her husband I felt wonderful.  This is precisely why, at this time of my live and in spite of my living in my "retirement" home, I am still involved in real estate.  When you have the ability to help someone else achieve a long time desire which you share you cannot walk away very easily.  At least this is what I have found.

Since my youth I have longed to live by the water, the closer the better.  It did not matter whether it was on a lake, river, or ocean.  It took many years for that to happen (and a certain wonderful man who happened to have a waterfront lot as part of his dowry) but it did.  Whenever I can help someone else achieve their goal to live near the water I am more than happy to do so.

Thank you Active Rain for making it possible for me to help one more family in the quest for their very own spot at Lake Anna.

 *Yes, Virginia...there is a Santa Claus wonderful place for REALTORS® called Active Rain.

Kate:

There is something magical to living on water.  There is nothing better than to watch the sun rise over a peaceful river or lake setting with a good cup of coffee in hand.  Congratulations.

Congratulations. Has happened for me yet, but I feel I have lots of friends here. Hope to see some of you at Inman next week.

Good deal! That will motivate all of us to work a little harder on our AR to insure that when someone types in "Tucson Mortgage Lender" or something similar, we have a good chance to appear in the results.

A wise person once told me "Do what you love and the money will follow."  Sounds like you're doing what you love.

This is great news and good for you Kate!   xxxooo  I get these contact things, but mostly to ask where I got my puppy, or where the garage sales are!  But someday, I'll get one of these too!

Hi Jason...That's 100% proof.  Nothing but the best.

Karen...To be able to have fun and profit from Active Rain is a real treat.

Jane...I'm glad you share my love of water. 

Carole...Like you, I love what I'm doing.  It comes across in your writings also.  Every time!

Cindy...That was my attempt a couple of days ago.  Looks like I'm not doing a very good job of it.

Mary...I've got to stop letting life get in the way of the Rain.

Missy...I miss Missy!

Hi Carole...You discovered that before I did.  What a nice surprise.  It was a good story and continues to make all of us involved in the transaction all happy.

Russ...Loved it since I was a child.  Glad you share the feeling.

Erica...Got to love a story with a happy ending.

Jean...I've been at this for a long time now, hope to keep it up for a while longer.  Thanks.

Patricia...It happens, it happens, it really happens!

Jeff...That's right.  There are so many pluses by being on AR that the spam, etc. is worth it.

Hi Lane...You are such an insightful person.  Thank you!  That's when I'm happiest, when I'm really helping someone.

Chris...Hope you had a wonderful time here at Lake Anna.  Now I'll share something with you.  I liked in Kent, Ohio (Cuyahoga County) for eight years before moving to Virginia.  If you move back this way be sure to make your home down here.

Carol...Oh, and I thought it was all because of my REALTOR skills, experience, dedication, and downright helpfulness while all the time it was really your super powers.  My life really did turn around after your call.

Christine...Yes it is and I hope you receive plenty.

Bob...Who ever knew it was right here in Virginia all this time.

Joel...Be sure to let us know when that happens!

Susan...When we are selected because of our blogs or what they have read about us on our web sites it really makes you feel as though you are going to hit it off just fine.  It makes for a great beginning.

Heather...That's one thing Active Rain and real estate have in common.  You can meet great people in both places.
