I just put a property under contract.
We were in multiple offers, and the seller decided to award the contract to my buyers. It was a tight one... Sweet.
Additionally, as part of the conversation, when the listing agent told me that they'd decided to accept our offer, he also mentioned that the seller wanted a buyer who he felt could take the transaction to the closing table, as he'd been burned in the past.
The listing agent recommended that he go with our offer, in part, because he said that he knew I was a really good agent, because he'd been reading my blog, and he felt I'd help get the deal to the closing.
Now, before you ask... the only place I blog is on Active Rain... so it's definitely this blog that he's been reading. And interestingly enough... I was unaware that he was monitoring my blog. To my knowledge he's never commented. He's a lurker, but in this case, that lurking worked to my advantage, didn't it?
Based on his reading of my blog, he knew a great deal about who I am, and that I take real estate pretty darn seriously. My blog seems to have tipped the scales, in this deal.
Well, doesn't that feel good?
Bonus!
