Recently, I was speaking to a friend of mine that I've known for years. We had been into the conversation for about 20 minutes when she had informed me they had moved from one town to another on the Front Range of Colorado.
She knew I was a Realtor® and she told me of the tough time they had with their Listing Agent in the County they had moved from. She spoke of how they were never informed of showings and how difficult it was to get in touch with this agent, yada, yada, yada....
She finally got to a point where she said, "I wish you could have been our Realtor® when we were moving."
I hesitated.... (I almost felt like reaching through the phone..." then I told her, "Well, I could have been." She seemed confused and asked me what I meant. I told her that I was Licensed in the State of Colorado and it doesn't limit my abilities to a specific geographical area. I can help Buyers and Sellers ANYWHERE in this State. She said she wished she had known this.
My License allows me to help Statewide. The Rain allows me to help anywhere there is a Rainer. That network of connections is invaluable.
Of course, I'm not familiar with all of the Counties in our State and if there were a contact that needed my help here or anywhere else in the Rain, I could be of help.
It is quite apparent that some homeowners are not aware of the Licensing Capabilities of the Agents in their home States. If an Agent has a State issued Realtors®License, that would mean they could work anywhere in that State. They are not limited to their own town or county. (AT least that is my impression)
Having the vast network of Activerain members is a plus. Being able to make a phone call or send an email to another member, regardless of where they are at, enhances my ability to help folks in this Town, County or State. It also benefits when you know of someone in the Activerain network, that lives in an area your folks may be moving to or from. That may be State, Country, Continent or Worldwide.
It's Awesome!
