Wrote An Offer From An Active Rain Lead Today!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Rocky Mountain Realty Co.

Hi Everyone...just had to let you know that someone saw my name on an AR post and e-mailed me saying, "I understand you are the fix and flip lady in Colorado Springs. I got the em late at night so I was going to call him first thing in the morning, but before I could call him...he called me and he and his wife came into my office that day.

We put a flip under contract that week and dropped it today because of some hefty inspection issues that would cut profits and cause a lot of extra work. (Unlike the tv flippers...we want to make sure that our flippers are done by the book and with full disclosure to the new buyers). So, we went and looked at more today and wrote another.

This is my SECOND PAYING LEAD IN A MONTH from Active Rain! The first came when a long lost customer of mine who moved to Iceland and then to Germany lost touch and didn't know that I had started my own company. She "googled" my name and my AR listing came up. She e-mailed me and now I have rented their high end property here in Colorado Springs and received a full year's commission up front with the lease signing!!!

GO ACTIVE RAINERS!!!

Congratulations!  That's great news...and the fact that AR is FREE to us users, is even better ...well, free in $ sense, not in the sense of investment of time and energy it takes to maintain and grow your blog and profile.  But that's ok - I'm a new member and have already learned alot from my fellow Active Rainers and Rainettes...

That is great news.  I have had a couple of calls from people who found me through AR, however, they didn't have a sufficient budget to buy in NH.  It is not all that inexpensive to live on the East Coast -- and people are surprised by the prices of homes and property taxes --

Hi Joan:

Don't I know it! Tom and I are from Massachusetts. Not much for the money. Incidentally...when I was a little girl, I had one hundred dollars saved up and wanted to buy an acre of land in Concord NH that I found advertised in the Boston Globe. My Dad said, "New Hampshire! Nobody will ever LIVE there..." lol

Congratulations! The first week I was on AR I gave a referral to a great agent in Oregon for a million dollar property---didn't know it was that good until she did the comps! I think this is a great source for referrals. I haven't had one yet but I know soon someone will have someone coming to S. California and I can help!
