Active Rain Referral Success Story for Gwynn Teal Carpenter, Broker of Home and Hearth Realty, Inc (Austin Texas)

Aug. 3, 2010..... after doing research on Active Rain to find a Realtor in Duluth, Ga that I felt would meet the needs of mine client, I sent an email to John Michelena of Homes of Atlanta Real Estate.  John responded and after a phone call to verify his existence, I sent a referral to him.

Lag time.... put my client's home on the market, went under contract - contract terminated, waited and waited and waited until finally we had a solid contract that closed June 17, 2011.

John was patient keeping in contact with my client and her boyfriend the entire time....once they began the search in Duluth it was a quick process - find the house, close the house, receive the referral check!

All this from the profile that John posted on Active Rain.....and then here is the result from their Aug. 29, 2011 closing:

Cathy:  I was so excited to get that referral check....my client actually lived with me for 2 months AFTER her Austin home sold until her job ended.  So I feel very vested in this story.

Suzanne:  I do love AR!  It got me writing - I've been asked to do so for a long time.  I have found some awesome people on this site and to know I'm in the same profession gives me goosebumps.

Richard:  It's not your eyes going back ...that html text is really there and I've tried everything I know to make it go away.  I guess AR techies will have to give me guidance.  And I think treating myself to something special is a great idea!

Susan:  Thanks for the suggest.  I'm glad to know I can find the best Realtor possible on AR to pass along a referral ... and know it will be handled in the most professional way.

Gwynn, I love hearing stories like this one. I just sent a referral a couple of weeks ago to an Active Rain member in Dallas, TX area. I found out the other day that the home is already listed and on the market. Now, if and when ever it closes, that will be another testimony for an AR referral sent out to another member.

Jerry:  Hope you soon have a nice referral check in your hands as well.  Having a referral resource like AR has made life much easier when I have clients ask if I know a Realtor where they are moving.
