So, i just got through listening to Bob Stewart and Jonathan Washburn on the HouseValues Mastermind Forum. It was very informative. What I took from this was one person talking about posting about referral business. This one is long overdue.

 A month ago, I get a call from my favorite Morrow, GA Realtor, Brande Bradford. Brande had a customer that has a listing that needed to be refinanced. So, the journey started. When the customer called, I reassured her that all would be taken care of. The first thing I noticed was that she had 2 properties and 3 mortgages. The plot thickened.

Not to go into much detail about the loan, but, in 12 days, we closed. Customer was ecstatic and so was Brande. I like to keep them all happy. brande, thanks for believing enough to trust me with your clients.

This is why I joined ActiveRain and what keeps me here. I am thankful for the bonds that have been formed here on ActiveRain and outside the Rain. If it was not for ActiveRain, I would have never made these friendships.

If you click on Brande's picture, it will direct you to the companies website and you can check out her current listings.

It was such a great closing that here is the testimonial that Stacey wrote for me.

When I contacted Danny Thornton I was desperate for help. We had been paying interest on a loan for what seemed like forever and have another property that needed to be refinanced. Danny made everything feel like it was a walk in the park on a beautiful sunny day. I have closed a few loans in my 37 years, but have never had a company make me feel like I was a part of their family. Danny was very patient and made everything stress free. We closed in 10 days! What more could you ask for? I would like to Thank Danny Thornton and Home America Mortgage for such a Great experience, you have won my business forever. Stacey V.

Danny, thanks for sharing your first closed success story on referral business you receive from Active Rain.  It is great that you were able to connect with another professional and service a client so well and quickly at the same time.  Had Brande been reading your blogs and that is why she turned to you for help?
