An Active Rain Success Story

“The more I help others to succeed, The more I succeed.”

Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

An Active Rain success story

 

Recently I received a telephone call from a California real estate professional.

 

They were calling me as a result of my Active Rain blogging to offer me a referral. After discussing the needs of customer with the real estate professional I discovered that the customer was interested in an area on the West Coast of Florida.  It’s an area that I actively consult in, but do not actively engage in the practice of real estate.

 

I was able to go into my list of associates of Active Rain members and I was able to refer a Realtor member from the West Coast of Florida to the California real estate professional.

 

The phone call turned into a success story . . . . and the real estate professional from Florida’s West Coast was able to find the couple a home.

 

The California real estate professional was successful in helping hers customers to move to the West Coast of Florida.

 

This is Active Rain at its best members helping members.

 

Active Rain + a telephone call = a referral

 

A telephone call + a referral = a success story
