Active Rain Does Not Rain! It Pours! $1,300,000 Closing Because of the Power of Active Rain!

Celebrate the power of Active Rain. Celebrate the opportunity we all have here on Active Rain. It is not Raining with closings, it is pouring! 

We just closed on a house for $1,300,000. We are listing agents and refer buyers to our new buyer agent. But right before we hired Doug to be our buyers' agent, we received a call from a buyer who was looking for an aeronautical community. 

He just told us today that he had called several agents but that not one of them called him back, well, no  one except for us! You snooze, you lose. He found us on Active Rain when he did his search for aeronautical communities ( where of course our Active Rain post shows up on page 1 in #3 spot, with only the community website above our post!) and then went to our website.

Aero Club Wellington Florida closing

Nestor knew exactly what he was looking for because he keeps on top of the market in Palm Beach County. We closed on this house today, all cash for a very good price. The seller and buyer are both happy. Now the house we sold is in and of itself a great story which I will be post about next week! You will not want to miss it!

The house our buyer bought is right on the beautiful turf taxiway. He flew in this morning right before closing from Tampa Florida. Nestor picked him up at the house out on the taxiway and drove him to the closing. How fun is that! You just fly in, sign your closing papers and fly back in time for dinner!  No traffic to deal with and no hassles on the road! 

Do not underestimate the power of Active Rain. It works, if you work it!

Congratulations! I'd say that's a great return on investment for your time here!

04/30/2008 10:30 AM by Maple Valley WA Broker/Owner Colleen Fischesser 425-432-5400 (RE/MAX Select Real Estate)


Great story! Thank you for sharing it with all of us here on AR.

04/30/2008 10:32 AM by Patty & Scott Carroll - RE/MAX, Vancouver WA (RE/MAX Equity Group)


Colleen- A huge percentage of our closings now are because of Active Rain. And the time investment, blogging in my pjs and sitting next to my 5 yr old son doing his homeschool, is most definitely worth it! Can't get much better than this! 

04/30/2008 10:35 AM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Great Post!  We all need to hear this!  I am hoping AR does the same for me! Congratulations!

04/30/2008 10:37 AM by deVismes P. Sharp, Talbot County Maryland Realtor (Lacaze Meredith Real Estate, A Long and Foster Co.)


That's so awesome! I am very happy for you guys. I hope to have the same results on my end, especially 1.3 million, just kidding. Have a great day and keep plugging away!

04/30/2008 10:44 AM by Jennifer Butz (Georgia Lending Partners, LLC)


Congratulations!  What a great story!  Active Rain is great.  Keep up the good work!  :)

04/30/2008 10:51 AM by Debi Ernst, Real Estate Broker/Agent (Ryco Realty Group)


Great attribute to why we do what we do. The power is with you and will continue to work for you! Great sale and I hope you got a short ride in the plane!

04/30/2008 11:26 AM by Cameron Wilson: Murrieta/Temecula/ Menifee California Real Estate (Century 21 Tri Valley Realty)


Katerina,

It could not have happened to a better team of Realtors. You are right, the return on Activerain is directly related to the work one puts into it. Congratulations for a job well done!

04/30/2008 11:28 AM by Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County)


Congratulations you guys!

Did Doug get to participate as the buyers agent? Did I read that correctly? Good for him. I take it that he is working out for you? 

04/30/2008 12:07 PM by Bob Stewart - ActiveRain (ActiveRain)


Now that's some great news!  Congratulations and here's to many more great deals with Active Rain.

Thats great news...congrats and you wrote that post back in 2007.....so when are we going out for drinks on you?:)

04/30/2008 02:10 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Bob- Nope, that was just Nestor on that deal. This deal went into contract the same week we were meeting with Doug to interview him. So he missed this one, but he has a lot of buyers he is working with right now that we got from our AR blog and our website. 

04/30/2008 02:32 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Neal- The aeronautical post I wrote was way back in 2007! And it still shows up on the first page of Google searches. When I first posted it the post was even above the Aero club's own website and the aviation direction website but I sank a couple of spots.  That means no one else is blogging about this area! Good for us! I don't mind, let them all never discover blogging and we will keep getting the calls:) ! Time to write another post about that community! He, he, ... 

04/30/2008 02:38 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


deVismes- Just keep on bloggging and do it the right way, attracting who you want to attract, business will come to you in swarms if you so believe it will! 

04/30/2008 03:40 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Jennifer- Why would you be 'just kidding'? about a 1.3 M, sale for yourself? Believe it and you can achieve it! 

04/30/2008 03:43 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Wow! That is wonderful! Congrats! Active Rain is the best! Im waiting on the day something like that happens.

04/30/2008 03:46 PM by Jeffrey de Jesus (REMAX Westlake Investments)


Congrats on the closing.  I love hearing about successes in real estate.  Thank you :)))

Katerina,  Congratulations!!  Like you wrote, You snooze, you lose.  You got to love it!!

04/30/2008 04:29 PM by Marc Grossman, GRI - Central Florida Real Estate Specialist (Keller Williams Premier Realty)


Congratulations... that's fantastic.  This place is like anything else.  You get out of it what you put into it.  Hard work has always paid great dividends. Good reminder, Katerina.

04/30/2008 04:45 PM by Fairbanks Real Estate Broker Jesse Clifton (Jesse & Kathy Clifton, REALTORS - 907.699.6024 - )


Laura- Actually, I am not interested in flying in a small plane, not yet anyways. Maybe as I get even older:). The story of this house is so much fun, hope to have it up next week, waiting for some video footage! 

04/30/2008 05:07 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Now that's a good deal. It's raining green for you!

04/30/2008 05:26 PM by Alan Robinson (PTE REAL ESTATE GROUP)


Awesome success story Katerina- Congrats.  You definitely work it and it's paying off. $1.3 mil. and more:-)

04/30/2008 05:57 PM by Jo Soss | Bremerton WA Real Estate (Skyline Properties, Inc.)


Wow! This has to be the biggest sale on Active Rain. Congratulations Katerina and Nestor. You are definitely a great team. Great picture with great smiles - Oh wait a minute you just sold a house over a million dollars. For that price,I would be smiling too. Much success to the both of you. Looking forward to the next great post. Great post.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

 

04/30/2008 06:15 PM by Lenn Harley, Homefinders.com, MD & VA Real Estate


Lenn- Well, it was a tumulteous 21 days before closing. But  it all worked out in the end. That part of the story we can not share. But the story of the house is awesome! I am waiting for the sellers to give me the DVD and some photos, it is going to be a great post! I am so excited to write the story. 

04/30/2008 06:18 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)

04/30/2008 06:31 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Katerina, I remember that post !! Good job, personally I love the long tail, it is great to be found there. I got a call the other day, a woman had been reading my blog on organic gardening. Amazing huh ?

04/30/2008 07:37 PM by Missy Caulk Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams Ann Arbor, Michigan)


Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Closing a transaction off of activerain is sweet but a 1.3 million dollar transaction is even sweeter!!!!!!!!!!!!

04/30/2008 08:01 PM by Boise Idaho Real Estate - George Tallabas (RE/MAX Advantage)


Great Job Nestor and Katerina!  I have read a couple of posts today with similar stories.... it is so good to hear that people are having success in their business when we hear such negative things in the news every day.

Enjoy and keep up the great work!

04/30/2008 08:48 PM by Earlene Myers, Your Client Connection (Professional Greetings)


Katerina and Nestor, A HUGE congratulations to the both of you AND your buyers who look thrilled.  I love happy endings except this is far from the end, I'm sure you have a lot more closings in your future.

04/30/2008 08:59 PM by Carole Provenzale Owner, Feng Shui Long Island & New York (Feng Shui Long Island & New York City)


Good job, Katerina, you are the proof in the pudding!  (I don't know what that means, I just always wanted to say that)

04/30/2008 09:34 PM by Virginia Hepp Mesquite NV REALTOR>> Mesquite NV Real Estate (Mesquite GMAC Real Estate)


Hi Katerina - wow, congrats on what the power of being online has brought to you, and congrats to your buyer!  Sounds like you found him the perfect house - and you now have yourself another raving fan!

Good for you,
Ann

Katerina - Congratulations on getting such a great closing for your efforts here!  Great job!

04/30/2008 10:05 PM by Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (Austin Texas Homes, LLC)


I've never heard the term 'aeronautical communities' before. Great example of leveraging the long tail, or in this case, the money tail. Congrats on the closing!

04/30/2008 10:16 PM by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace)


Congratulations and a great tribute to Active Rain.  Thanks for sharing.

04/30/2008 11:06 PM by Pam Winterbauer ~ 2006 REALTOR® of the Year (Windermere Welcome Home)

04/30/2008 11:11 PM by Roberta LaRocca - REALTOR® Las Vegas (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace)


Exciting! congratulations!

04/30/2008 11:29 PM by Amanda Pangelina (CalREVA)


That is the best ActiveRain success story I have heard. Keep it up!

04/30/2008 11:39 PM by Portland Oregon Real Estate >> Wayne B. Pruner, GRI (Oregon First)


Cameron- It it was hard work, I would not be doing it:) I only do work that is fun and that I love to do. Writing is right up that alley! 

05/01/2008 12:04 AM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Katerina, congratulations on the big sale.  What a great success story and testament to the power of Active Rain.

05/01/2008 06:42 AM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


Congratulations to both of you! Glad to hear I'm not the only one working in my PJ's, lol. You are an awesome team and someone to learn from, most definitely. Thank you for motivating me, yet again, to keep plugging away!!!   

05/01/2008 09:59 AM by Huntsville, Alabama Real Estate Agent Elizabeth Ramsey Cooper-Golden (Remax Huntsville/Madison)


Katerina - sounds like it was not only financially profitable, but fun as well. While St Petersburg - being an older city and surrounded on 3 sides by water - doesn't have an aeronautical community (though it has lots of nautical communities), we can be a great destination for fliers, since we have an airport right in downtown St Petersburg, Albert F. Whitted airport, and you can walk from your hanger to your waterview condo. John Galbraith chose St Petersburg for The Templeton Funds because he wanted to fly in and walk to both his home and his office, both of which were in Bayfront Tower.

05/01/2008 12:39 PM by Sharon Simms St Pete Florida CRS CIPS CLHMS (RE/MAX Metro)


What a great success story! That's wonderful news. Congratulations on the sale.

05/01/2008 12:58 PM by John LaRocca (LaRocca Inspections)


Katerina & Nestor - Congratulations...all your hard work paid off just in that one transaction! F-A-N-T-A-S-T-i- C!!!  Such an inspiration. 

05/01/2008 01:01 PM by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - Candace Robinson (HomeSmart )


Congratulations!!!!  Your hard work here directly lead to your success. . .thanks for being a positive contributor and may many more AR transactions fly your direction!

05/01/2008 01:55 PM by Lori Gilmore - Will County Illinois Realtor (Radcliffe Realty)


Congratulations to you both!  Active Rain is such a great network.

05/01/2008 03:26 PM by Colorado Springs Realty Patricia Beck (Prudential Professional Realtors, GRI)


Katerina - Great job.  Another success story through Active Rain.

05/01/2008 03:37 PM by Ellie Viray, Realtor (Dilbeck GMAC Real Estate)

It is great how much business you have been getting from AR. I have been getting a terrific amount of business as well :) Hearing all the success stories is awesome.

05/01/2008 04:10 PM by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty)


Everyone- Thanks so much for your comments and congrats and kudos! I am trying to get to everyone but it was by majority consensus that you would rather me write posts that will help you in your business rather than comment back to each and every comment. I do try to get back to everyone each time you comment. There are some posts that when they get featured and the comments start rolling in that I am not able to get back to each one individually. But, please, keep on commenting! And reading! Hope it all helps you all in your business and blogging! 

05/02/2008 11:24 AM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)
