Social or Business Network..AR is Good at Both..U Decide

By
Real Estate Agent with Morris Williams Realty

 

Lately I have had the pleasure  of meeting a lot of people. Some of these people were from Active Rain, and I am glad to be a part of such a great forum.

We can reach out and tough people that we would not normally be able to meet, I believe this increases our visibility beyond our wildest dreams.

I just did comment on a Realtors post who was asking for help on a  listing she has on a resort property.  She feels that she has had a large amount of time wasted by dealing with some here  that have responded. This gives me pause for thought.

When we put ourselves, and our needs out for all to see, are we asking all the right questions?? Its hard to put everything on a post, but I am putting together a package now to send to anyone who contacts me from now on, Active Rain or not. For as much as many of us treat this as a social network, there are many more who realize this is an opportunity to do great business.

So, if you want to chat, cool. I like to talk, when I have time.  If you want to know about the commercial deals I am working on, please don't be offended when I ask to send you a NCND package to protect both my interests and those of my clients. I have stated here, and will continue to state that I represent only my clients in a SIngle Agent form of Representation. In Fla, that is a relationship close to that of an attorney client priveldge.

So, fun is fun, and I love fun. I love social. I love making friends and would love to set up a Central Fl social meet and greet. Whoooppppeeee...

But.......................Lets remember that business is handled like business should be handled. There are opportunities for many of us to do great things here. My main goal  here is to do business, make money, take care of my familys financial future.

If anyone has any thoughts on this, then lets have it.  Me, I am just looking back over old post while it rains for yet another day here in Sunny Fl

Mike, I think there is a social and educational side of networking and also the business side. With business between two parties, all the rules of engagement (like referral fees) need to be clear and stated up front. If Realtors and others in the industry don't understand agreements and contracts they need to be educated.
