So, I Called Richard Weisser...

We've been introduced to buyers with interest in one of our listings.  It would really help if they could sell a property in Atlanta...a specific neighborhood in Atlanta. So, I called Richard Weisser of Coweta Fayette Real Estate in Newnan, Georgia.  Leslie and I have been big fans of his poetry and photography on ActiveRain plus he is one of the most visible agents in Georgia.
 
His voice really belongs to his photo.  We had a pleasant chat about lots of things.  He and his wife are big Smoky Mountain enthusiasts and are planning a visit here soon.  Leslie and I will have lunch with them, one of those mini AR meetups.  We're really looking forward to it.
 
One of the things we talked about was our buyers' neighborhood in Atlanta.  Even though Richard no longer concentrates his business in Atlanta, he knew just who to direct me to...Thom Abbott of Atlanta.  Ahhh, the power and reach of ActiveRain members.
 
First of all, how cool is it to have a first name with the spelling "Thom"?  We chatted on the phone and it was very evident that Thom really knew the neighborhoods of Atlanta.  We'll be referring this listing to Thom and hopefully the buyers will recognize the value in hiring an agent so familiar with the real estate markets in his territory.
 
I was just getting ready to send the Referral Agreement to Thom but before I did, I thought I'd do a little browsing on AR...how's this for a coinkydink?

Seems like fate, doesn't it?  Sure glad I called Richard Weisser!

Yes, Mona - you are so close in rank to Thom and I suspect the God has some conspiracy planned for you.....(just kidding)

Hi Mona, Within our network is every solution to every problem or question when it comes to real estate. I think you would also agree with my findings. While I hold that as my opinion, thus far I have found it be totally true.

Mona, this is a really special sort of relocation network.  I had the honor of showing property to a blogger's son today.  More about that later.

Thom knows downtown and neighborhoods in Atlanta well, Jim Crawford too. Lots of good folk here.

This is the very best referral network I've seen in many years of real estate practice.  I surely works for me.  I closed an ActiveRain referred home buyer yesterday.

Praful, there's probably some plan for at least a little friendly competitive foot blog race.

William, I would hold that to be your opinion as well as mine...as well as anyone who is awake and breathing on AR.  The solution is here.

Patricia, the referrals are more substantive and intentional.  It is so much more efficient to head into a referral with all the relative background laid out for you.

Gary, hmmm...I wonder where Jim Crawford is on the leaderboard, lol.

Sharon, one of so very many.

Lenn, congratulations. I saw that article...the 10 month contract and the very happy buyers.  Loved their smiling photo in their beautiful new kitchen.

Good morning Mona. What a wonderful story. I too like and admire Richard so I am not suprised he was so helpful. I am waiting on a progress report from an agent in the Rain that I referred a listing to. AR is the best.

Mona, goes to show you that you can find a source or the source of the source here on AR. Enjoy your day!

Mona,  That is just too weird don't you think.  What are the odds that Thom would be ranked right above you on AR.  Ok - you and Leslie need to buy a couple Lotto tickets today.  I'm just saying......

Hi Sheila, it is nice when they stay in touch.

Wayne, it sounds like a horse is a horse of course of course...

Belinda, when I checked this morning I'd gotten a little ahead.
