It Pay$ to Comment and Blog!

Today here in the central part of New Jersey where I live it is cold & rainy. So just as I got ready to leave my house at 8:30am- umbrella, purse and paperwork in tow, I received a call from my client telling me he couldn't make our scheduled 9am appointment.

Nevertheless, I headed out to my vehicle anyway, prepared to brave the nasty weather.

As I was warming it up and getting the heat going, I get a call from my 2nd appointment for the day, a very nice couple from Long Island, NY who I've been showing homes to in the South Brunswick, Manalapan and Millstone areas.

The wife indicated that she too was running behind due to the weather and wanted to know if we could reschedule.Okay, no big deal. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled about going in & out of a bunch of houses today anyway. So I rescheduled both appointments and headed back to mi casa.

Now I'm sitting here like, "Okay cool...I've got a free day to myself...FINALLY...so what do I do next?"

Clearly I've putting off blogging consistently for awhile, but as you can see from my blogs below, lately I've been "blogging on steriods"........lolololololololololol!!!!

So I went back to my computer and figured I would send emails to a few clients and maybe write another blog (if I had anything worthwhile to say). Now I'm racking my brain trying to think of what I want to blog about. Low and behold, an agent who has been secretly paying close attention to my "stealth blogging" as of late, emailed me a note that she may have a referral she'd like to give me.

If this works out, it will be my second successful AR referral. My first was from AR member Debbie Barrera of Presidio Group in Austin, Texas. A couple of months ago I closed on the referral she sent me. Thanks again Debbie!

So if you're sitting home in a cold & rainy town somewhere across this country right now, make great use of your time. Starting today, commit to writing at least one new blog and comment on ten blog posts.

It pays PAID to comment and blog!

  

Stay motivated,

Amber

It pays to blog. But I am still waiting on paycheck. Congratulations Amber on closing your deal from AR. You are definitely going to close more deals from AR. If I know anyone looking to buy in Garland,NJ I am definitely referring them to you. Great post.

Hey, Amber. You have to learn how to look at the weather. It's never "nasty weather." It's just Mother and Father Nature crying tears of joy (rain), washing the dandruff out of their hair (snow), or spilling their margaritas (rain/sleet/hail). Be positive, although I'm not sure spilling a margarita is positive -- LOL.

I received an inquiry today about a referral today to. I am in the Puyallup, Washington area. It's funny lately though I have been closing transactions in Kent and Auburn. I have another client looking in the Auburn, Federal Way area.

I tell people it's funny how I live and represent the Puyallup area, but the clients I find lately are all looking in other areas. I am thankful no matter where they are looking. I certainly try and qualify them more closely if I am having to travel more and farther.

Hi Amber, and congrats on closing the transaciton.  It does pay to blog, my last closing was due to a referral that actually came through AR.  It's a big world and you never know where your next referral will come from.   You will be my Jersy connection, if I can help you here in North Georgia please let me know.
