Dee Dee Hanson Rained on me! Gifts of Appreciation

Picture of Real Estate Agent: Dee Dee  Hanson (CB Woodland Schmidt)

I wanted to thank Dee Dee Hanson for going above and beyond her call of duty. Dee Dee helped myself and another fellow Active Rainer, (Todd Pierantoni) out when we ran into a pinch. My fax machine has been down and Dee was gracious enough to come to our rescue. Todd, is located in Grand Rapids and Dee Dee is in the Saugatuck area. The option was to make a road trip to Grand Rapids, nearly a 40 minute ride or find a fax machine near by.

My first thought was fellow Active Rainer, Dee Dee. Todd, contacted Dee Dee and her response "No Problem". Dee Dee took the time to fax, scan and e-mail the file over to Todd, even though she had nothing to do with the deal.

The power of The Rain and the networking of online friends is amazing. The helping hand I've experienced online and off from Active Rain members is unbelievable.

We turned an Active Rain double into an Active Rain triple, for members working together.

Dee Dee, to you I raise my glass and toast your service and friendliness! I'm glad we were able to meet one another, I enjoyed our talk. Thanks for Raining on me.

Thank you,

Duane

Grace, I agree, she didn't have to do this, but that's where AR comes in. Members helping members. Plus I was able to meet a wonderful lady in the mean time.

Michael, thanks for stopping by. It was refreshing to know that someone like Dee Dee would take the time to help an unknown out, but Thanks to the Rain (plus she's a wonderful girl) it worked out.

I've had the privilege of getting to know Dee Dee through our blogging seminars in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  She has a warm and generous heart.  This was a wonderful testament of that.

Wouldn't we all like to think we'd do the same? It's the sour taste left in your mouth after dealing with a Realtor who behaves like a raving lunatic or who is completely rude to another Realtor that keeps us from reaching out sometimes, even when we should be...

I, for one, am glad to see that Active Rain is paying dividends for you guys.

Sally, I thought it was an amazing deed that Dee Dee did for us, and better yet it was between 3 Active Rainers.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day in The Rain,

James, it's the one bad apple theory that can ruin it for many. But, I have found so many good great apples here in The Rain.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day in The Rain,

Virginia, isn't that cute. I noticed the blown out photo of her mascot in her office. I was going to comment on the photo when I was with her, but we were so busy chatting that I neglected to do so. Then when I checked her web site out, there it was. To cool.

Thanks for stopping by as well as commenting on her Saugatuck post, it is a neat area.
