This is a blog written by my friend Kenneth Cole where he credits me with his best sale in 10 years of business.  Referrals sent mean referrals returned especially when you are the right person for the job!  Congrats Ken!

My Activerain Success Story

Where do I start?  Well I guess back in January 2008 when I joined Activerain.  Little did I know back then what a great website I found.  I had been making a few friends around the Country and learned a great deal from them.  It was not only educational but I must admit, fun.

One day I got a call from a friend in my neighborhood who wanted to sell his country home in the Catskills.  Could I help?  While I was not about to drive  three hours north of where I lived in Staten Island, I did have a few Activerain friends in that area.  So, I sent New York "Rainer" an email.

That would be Jennifer Fivelsdal, Ambassador,  but she didn't serve that area so she sent me to Debbie Walsh who worked near my friends country property.  Wow, I hit a "Home run".

Debbie took great care of my friends sale and then returned the favor to me with a "Realtor's Dream Listing".  So if you want the long story you can go there:  http://activerain.com/blogsview/4457518/a-realtors-dream-listing  Needless to say, I did my job and the phone rang "Off the hook".

We had the buyer within 2 hours, all total we had 8 offers within 48 hours, went into acceptance in 4 days.  This was the best sale I had in my 10 years in the business.

Thanks to Activerain and the "Rainers" who made it all happen.

Let's do it again.

A job well begun, is half done!

Debbie, I have also had several great experiences through Active Rain where I have found referral agents for my clients. In one case, the agent sold my clients home in North Carolina in about 60 days after it had been on the market for I think almost a year previously. In another case, I had an agent in Lake Havasu sell my clients home for top dollar in less than a couple of months. I have been very pleased with the quality of agents here on Active Rain.
