And you want to know how Active Rain and Localism help your business? Write good content! Last Monday I received a call from a woman and she asked me some questions regarding homes for sale. We chatted for awhile and I took some information down so I could set her up with auto listings from our MLS site with the criteria she gave me.
I was going to give her my other information when she said it wouldn't be necessary. (WHY?) She then told me she already checked me out and had printed my info from the site she had found my name. (she typed in Real Estate Oahu and my name popped up from Localism!)
She proceeded to tell me that she read a whole bunch of my Localism posts and believed that this was a "sign" to go with this Real Estate Professional! She loved how everyone made nice comments and all had something nice to say about me and she said she really found my posts interesting! Now if that isn't a positive sign that Localism and Active Rain are a good thing!

Well, we made and appointment to meet at the office yesterday morning so I could show them property. (they were already prequalified an hour after we got off the phone on Monday!)
While waiting I started taking pictures of our office, Century 21 Liberty Home. (Danny Smith suggested for me to do something on our office) Sorry, Danny. It's Saturday and no one is here but me!

Randy just came in to do floor time (blog)
Oops! They're here! Bye Randy!
They were the most pleasant couple! (they have three children but they didn't come) They loved to joke and laugh and I love that because it sure makes me feel comfortable (Otherwise, I'm the only one laughing...haha)The Mrs. took notes on all the properties we looked at (3 in Mililani and 3 in Makakilo) and she loved the packet I put together. By time we left we had already made an appointment for next Saturday to look at property in one more area. She also said that she will read the info and will call me during the week with questions! Now, they are not only interested in purchasing their first home but very interested in the process and wanting to know exactly what is going on. (following pictures are from Mililani property we looked at so I could show you view of the Range from Mililani)

So. This just goes to show me and you what good POSITIVE content in your post and the positive comments that transpire from those posts you write are READ by the CONSUMER (the public). So I choose to show my TRUE COLORS through my writing and giving great content.
Thanks, Caleb, Matt, Lydia and all of you that made this possible!
What a cool office---LOVE the color! I should do that in my little "country town" office.
