Commenting on my Active Rain Posts May Make You Famous!! Updated


So, how cool.  I get this Facebook message from Andrea Bedard...well, check it out!

FB Notice

I wrote a post, Stupid Lowball Offer...or No Offer...You Choose, a while ago and it truly hit a nerve with many, many agents across the Active Rain spectrum.  In fact, I received many kind e-mails about my method of thinking from other agents.  I was quite pleasantly surprised.  It ever got the attention of Mr. Kenneth R. Harney a writer with the Washington Post Writers Group, who had read my post, called me and talked to me a little while about what I thought of low ball offers in the San Antonio TX area..but he also apparently interviewed other AR members who commented on my post, who were then featured in his article in the LA Times!


UPDATE**Apparently the post made it to the Seattle Times as Well..Housing Market No Longer Yours for a Steal 

I am happy that my post was the catalyst for some getting some extra media attention.  Perhaps someday my name will be up in lights too lol :)!  But until then, apparently stopping by my posts and commenting may make you famous!

That is great stuff, I hope that everyone can read this, and that way we could probably convince everyone that we are getting into a seller's market in quite a few markets

Hi Brenda,  I believe I commented on that post... what happened to my interview to fame?  Oh well, next time!  : )

Wow, got a ton more comments :).  Thank you Cathy for the tweet and reblog.  

However, I did not get recgonized in the media :).  Other AR members who had commented on my post were interviewed and were quoted in the LA Times and Seattle Times Real Estate Section.  Pretty cool.  I was also interviewed by Ken Harney..but not quoted :(...guess I didn't say anything quote worthy lol :)!  That's  ok though.  The point is that my post and AR were the catalyst for those folks getting noticed and I thought that kind of cool :).  

Thank you all for dropping by, I truly appreciate it  :)!

Oh and Sara...Don't feel too bad, I wrote the post, was interviewed and I didn't get a quote either lol :)!  In fact, that probably would have been a long article if he had interviewed everyone lol :)!

fame is fleeting. hopefully this will not be your famous fifteen minutes, but the start of a relationship with the reporter. the real trick is to be a continued source of quotes. buy the reporter a highball.

I was interviewed by Mr. Harney and made it into the article.  However, I commented on 2-3 posts about lowball offers that week and he mentioned that he read different posts.  I am surprised that he didn't interview you.
