I always answer YES !

Here are some of success in my busineses that have come about because of blogging on Activerain.

Currently, I have sold one house where a consumer found my blog and called me. 1358 Quail Hollow was sold.

A referral from Maureen Francis, the number one blogger in Michigan on Activerain referred a buyer to us and they are already in their new home.

I have another house listed at 3008 Green Valley in Ann Arbor, she found me by reading my blog.

Hi Missy,

I saw your name on an Ypsi Depot Town post that I found with Google.

I'm a photographer looking for a small studio convenient to Depot town. (easy walking distance) I've checked out a couple areas that were a bit too expensive or no where near completion (Thompson Bldg).

What no one got back to the first one. I did and sent him listings and have been emailing him back and forth.

Second prospect, I also sent out listings today on commercial building. *** Note,  I wrote 3 posts on Ypsilanti, Mi. This was written in May 2006.

Subject: home for sale

Hi there. I have had a house for sale by owner for awhile now and am living in Clearwater, FL while trying to sell my house there in Saline. It's a bit difficult to sell a house there anyway right now but certainly when I'm not there to advertise it much it hurts me.

Do you represent any home seller's in Jackson County? Our property has been for sale on and off for 3 years.
We are not "emotionally" attached to an overpriced home. Although we are well aware of Michigan current economic situation (sucks).
Anyway, I see that you are ranked #2 in MI so obviously you are about results.
Any chance of taking us on?

This one I referred out as Jackson County is too far from my area.
