Well folks, after a very successful day of taking around new buyer clients here in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area, it's time for me to sit down at the computer and spend some time working on generating business.

So, since that is today's goal, I'm just going to say it loud and get it out there in the open....

I Want Your Referrals!

You see, my dear readers, it's like this. People love the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area. They love the weather. They love the affordable housing. They love the schools, the medical facilities, the shopping, and the opportunities for employment. The list goes on and on....

Craig,

You are the man. I think referral wise and closings we are even right now so is it my turn or yours to send a referral? Either way if they are headed to the triangle or even close to it. You know you get the call first.

Craig - you are certainly yelling it loud. Quite a vacuum cleaner approach. Good luck with it.

You got it. If you don't ask for the referral, there is zero chance of getting it. Shout it loud and clear.

Craig, I will have referrals coming your way and I can't wait to send them to you my friend.

Sometimes we need to ask for what we want. Are you saying you want referrals?

Well now! You're advocating that we place friends or acquaintances that are considering a move to the Cary/Apex/Raleigh area of North Carolina, and give them your name so that they will potentially be exposed to one of the most life altering experiences of their life? OKAY.
