How ActiveRain Blogs Help Others

 

There is no doubt that our ActiveRain blogs appear everywhere online if you consistently provide good content and valuable information.  Awhile ago another real estate fortune cookiesreal estate agent in South Carolina reached out to me regarding short sales and the issues he was having with the Bank in question.  

 
Since I have done my fair share of short sales successfully in the last 8 years, I knew I could help steer him in the right direction.  Well I just heard back from him and this is what he had to say:
 

 

Hi Ginny:
 
I spoke with you 3.5 months ago about my frustrations with Bank Of America's short sale process and you gave me some great advice.
 
I found your response to a post on Active Rain regarding BOA short sale horror stories and you recommended contacting the someone directly at the Bank with cleverly selected words.
 
Needless to say, I followed your recommendation, a BOA rep from the President's office contacted me that afternoon and we finally closed on the property today after 4.3 years of efforts.
 
I'm glad I found your comments on Active Rain -- you really helped my seller, my buyer, and me close on a transaction which I never thought would happen!!
 
Thanks again for your help!
 John Robinson

Hi Ginny Gorman 

That's a great story. First that someone read your posts and found them helpful and then contacted you, but more improtantly the advice worked. Thanis for passing this along. AR is not just about our own successes but about helping others with theirs, too!

Keep up the good work in 2015

We never know who is reading and how that might help someone else.  I have gotten calls from people at the banks I have 'touted' in blogs for poor performance.  They don't like the negative publicity

That is awesome. I had an agent tell me she tells everyone about one of my blogs about birds nest. I had no idea she had even read it.

Ginny Gorman so interesting that still after so many years of Short Sales, B of A is still mistreating people. Glad you advice helped though.
