The Power of Active Rain & "Short-Sale Agent Corona"

By
Real Estate Agent with Diamond Ridge Realty

My community of Corona, California is a small but bustling suburb in the Inland Empire about 50 miles east of Los Angeles.  I have been a limited time contributor to Active Rain but even with limited time to blog I have met with success due to "The Power of Active Rain".

A couple of years ago I created a number of blogs about my short-sale listings in Corona and surrounding communities.  One day I received a call - quite short and to the point - from a man who simply said "I want you to list my house.  Can you meet me today at 2PM?".  Well, yes I thought that would be fine.  I asked him where his home was and I said I would be happy to meet.  I only had about two hours to do my research and preparation.

It turned out that this man had previously listed his home for short-sale with another agent who unfortunately failed to live up to the job.  Having already moved from Corona he was in a bind and only had a limited amount of time to find someone new to represent him in this difficult situation.  The man turned to the internet and entered 'short-sale agent Corona' into Google. My Active Rain account was on page 1 - he liked what he read - and decided that I was the person to help him out!  It was that simple - "The Power of Active Rain" led me to a new client and new listing!

The point of my blog is that you never know who is looking for you but doesn't currently know you.  Whether you are a Grace Idaho Real Estate Agent or a Short-Sale Agent Corona you need to be found on the internet and "The Power of Active Rain" is one way to be found!

Michael - great stuff.  I've had it happen once on a new mortgage client.  It also revitalized me, as I had slacked off from when I originally signed up in 2007.
