Last Closing for 2009 !!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Bergen County, NJ - RE/MAX Real Estate Limited

 

Ah ! ... just squeaked it in before the ball drops !!

 

 

My final closing for the year just wrapped up, and one more happy client has a new home.

 

Last Happy Client for 2009 !

 

It was the cherry on top of a great year for me, and the amount of increased knowledge I gained over this year from ActiveRain was incredible.

 

  • I have adjusted my listing presentation

  • Changed the way I explain certain parts of a contract

  • Got out there in the community more (thanks to an enticing contest or two from Bob Stewart)

  • Upgraded my marketing material

  • Reduced 'wasted' marketing expense based on reviews from fellow members

  • Received $$ from referring agents, and received referrals from fellow AR members

  • ...and finally, drastically increased my internet FINDABILITY due to my blog here on ActiveRain !

 

So yes, 2009 was a terrific year for your British Pal - and a good percentage of the success can be attributed directly to this place.

 

... think I'm gonna be increasing my time and dedication to activeRain in 2010 ???

 

... you betcha !!!

 


Good luck wrapping up the year everyone !!!!!!

...see you in the comments !!!
