Nice to meet you Shailesh!

This past friday, I had the pleasure of meeting Shailesh Ghimire over a cup of coffee.  OK, he had the coffee, and I had some water as I'm not a coffee drinker.  Now, Shailesh wasn't the first AR member I had met.  Back in January, Brian Brady had organized a Phoenix area AR get together.  It was a lot of fun meeting all these folks - whom previously I had only seen a single mugshot of :)  Unfortunately I have missed other Phoenix area blogger get togethers since.

Shailesh and I started exchanging emails a few weeks ago.  He and his wife (Aimee) work together with CTX mortgage as lending professionals and he's started to get very involved in blogging (not just AR).  We thought it might be a good idea to get together, talk shop and most definitely talk blogging!  And thats what we did at a local Starbucks.  My thoughts?  Sharp guy who knows his stuff.  Lots of ideas ranging in topic from how to help Realtors, giving potential clients numerous options as well results of the recent subprime fallout.  I in turn shared with him my thoughts on the Real Estate industry as a whole, Realtors, mortgage professionals as well as blogging.

Now I already have a select few lenders that I refer my clients to.  So I wasn't necessarily shopping for another one.  But Shailesh knows his stuff, has ideas/vision and appears to genuinely care.  So in the future I will certainly consider adding him to my list of preferred lenders.  For other agents out there who may be in the market for a lender - this husband/wife duo appears to have their act together!

Thanks for Reading :)

Kaushik,

I too know both Aimee & Shailesh... They DO have their "stuff" together. Nice folks, good for the industry. When is the next AR get-together?

Hi Kaushik,

I met Shailesh, like you, only mine was tea.  :) 

He is sharp and I will be referring clients to him, too. 

I'm glad you wrote this post. 

Thanks,  Doreen

P.S. Yes, when is the next Phoenix AR get together?

Thanks, Kaushik.  It's nice to hear that local A/Rers are the real deal.  When is the next Phoenix A/R get-together?  Perhaps you and Brian could put together another (before it gets too hot)?

Kaushik, sounds like you found a couple of good people to work with, and I hope the opportunity presents itself in the near future for you to do that.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->Kaushik: Thanks for your kind words. As we discussed in our “coffee” time, we only try to do the basics right and everything else seems to come together! Again thank you.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->Pat: Thanks for your kind words.

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->Doreen: You’re the first “live” person I met from A/R and it made me realize that there are some quality folks on here.

We definitely need to get a Phoenix A/R meeting going. I’ll contact the good folks and see what we can do.

Thanks!

Hmm, seems like the general consensus is - when will we have the next Phoenix area AR get together?  Maybe i'll shoot Brian a note.  In case he's not available for the next one, I don't know if I'm up to the challenge :)
