Are you taking full advantage of ActiveRain?

By
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty Washington LLC

I recently contacted an ActiveRain agent in Fayetteville North Carolina about a client who had transfer orders to Fort Bragg.

I took advantage of all the information I could gain from ActiveRain in my search. I found examples of;

  • Her attitude and customer testimonials
  • Her designations
  • Her market and marketing
  • Her companies standing and relocation program

You can't get this information by going to the CRS catalog or sending the referral through your office to an affiliate. I called three agents before making my decision. I would have never found this agent if it hadn't been for her profile and quick response to my client.

Lessons learned;

  1. Keep your profile current...
  2. Use the testimonial section to highlight your customer service...
  3. Respond quickly to voice mails from out of state area codes...

Can you add any qualities that you find useful when referring through ActiveRain? Are you taking full advantage of ActiveRain?

Yes, Paul. I would have followed your same procedure for searching here in Active Rain. The Profile and Testimonials are big with me. The online presence with blogging and marketing a also factors that I would consider too.

Hi Paul, this is so true. I really would always try to refer clients to a Rainmaker who I know and trust.  Someone's philosophy regarding ethics and service is easy to determined with repeated blog posts - and mutual dialog.

Paul, I totally agree that Active Rain has become my "go to" spot to find great agents in other areas when I need to send a referral.  And the referrals I have sent out have been handled with wonderful professionalism and care!

Paul, I'll also call other Rainers in the general area for recommendations.  That specific working knowledge just led me to pick someone different than would have been my first conclusion based on what I knew from AR and FB interactions.
