We Received Our First Referral From ActiveRain!!! Thanks Tina Maraj-Shah!!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX All Pro

Clap your hands!!! golden applauseYou must believe in the RAIN!!! We have been with                                                ActiveRain since May and we just received our first referral from Tina Maraj-Shah from RE/MAX of North Orange County in California.

Tina has in-laws that live in our areaand had put out a blog inquiring about agents. After a few emails and phone conversations back and forth, we finally made a listing appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Shah this weekend. Much to our surprise and to Tina too, they seemed to be happy with the services we provide and decided not to interview any other agents. We hit it off great and had a few laughs too! Even learned a little more about Tina too. They signed the listing agreement and their listing starts this week.

We explained to both Tina and her in-laws....we don't have any magic answers, but we do promise to be aggressive with our marketing and keep everyone up to date with every part of the transaction.

Not only do we have our RE/MAX resources but now ActiveRain too! This is a great place to be! Keep Blogging!! It WILL all be worth it someday!!! Thank you Tina for your confidence! Hope we can return the referral sometime!!!

Rick and Lynn...Congrats on the referral! I love doing my business by referral, and I definitely see ActiveRain as an extension to that. Not only am I a RE/MAX agent taking advantage of the referrals there, but also a Buffini student and now AR addict! Don't ya love it? Thanks for posting...l
