Connections Through Blogging

Yesterday, I received a call from a number not recognized.  It was from Wisconsin.

As usual, I answered, and the caller asked about one of my blog posts, "reverse contingency." This caller wanted to know how to reverse a contingency. 

Needing clarification, I quickly found out she was asking about purchasing a house under contract, which has a contingency.

It's a pretty good idea to understand a question before answering. 

 

 

questions

 

 

She was calling about an area where our AR member Diana Dahlberg lives and works. She wants to purchase a specific house that is already under contract. 

One quick phone call to Diana, and we had a connection

.diana dahlberg

Will this person buy or sell?

Who knows?

But it was wonderful getting a stray call from one of my previous posts and then connecting this caller to a delightful professional in the same city.

These connections are what AR is all about.

Find out what the client needs and then help them

OR

find the right professional who can. 

Thank you, Diana Dahlberg, for your quick follow-up, professional knowledge, kindness in helping this caller, and for making me proud of our industry.

ActiveRain works...sometimes in strange ways.

How are you connecting?

Good morning Margaret. Blogging here in the Rain has provided many sources over the years. And, have met many I would not have otherwise met.  Enjoy your day.

Connections often come in unexpected ways, don't they Margaret?  So glad Diana Dahlberg was there for you and the prospect.

Each day in this business brings New Surprises! It was one of those "out of the blue" phone calls and I was able to follow up immediately. Also kept Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 updated on progress. It was an honor to make this connection. Although the party will not be moving forward, I was able to help her in making a decision that was best for her. That's what it's all about right?

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 Although the caller was hoping to purchase the home of her dreams, I had a number of opportunities to discuss many other subjects that allowed this woman to make the "best decision" for her -- To stay put, to stay in her condo. Thank you again for introducing me to her. She was grateful for both of us helping her through this. Our time and effort was well appreciated. Thank you again for thinking of me! "We win some and lose some .... but if we treat others as we want to be treated ... we part as friends."  And we did! 😀
