Congrataulations Bob Carney and Frank Llosa - You're world-famous!
The featured article by Sione Baribeau in the real estate section of today's WASHINGTON POST starts out...
Jeanne Bobofchak, 31, was looking for a real estate agent, but she wanted to avoid the awkwardness of choosing among her friends recommendations. So she went online and found agent Bob Carney's blog, FocusOnFrederick.com.
The information on the Frederick community was detailed, the comments from former clients were glowing, and Carney seemed as if he would be fun to work with.
Although Bob does focus more on this blog than his ActiveRain blog these days, I first met Bob Carney on ActiveRain and he's always been one of my favorites. Not only that, I've found him accessible both by email and phone when I've had a question, and he's high on the list of ActiveRainers I'd like to meet personally.
Congratulations, Bob, on all the glowing things your client and the article said about you!
But that's not all! As I continued to read through the article, another ActiveRain name popped out at me, Frank Llosa! I know him, he sent me a referral through ActiveRain. His client, Andrew Yeow, had this to say about Frank:
When I read Frank's stuff, I was really impressed by what he knew. I realized he was in Northern Virginia and that sealed the deal.
Congratulations, Frank, on that testimonial and the wonderful description of you, your "Trust me, I'm a Realtor" shirt, and your blog about "sucky listing agents".
When I first received that referral from Frank, I check out his ActiveRain blog and bio, and I knew I'd be on the hook with this referral. Messing it up would not be tolerated! Hmmm.... now that I'm back in Maryland from my 6-week trip, I'd better call those people this weekend! Frank, you're also high on that list of ActiveRainers I'd like to meet personally -Especially now that you're a world-famous blogger.
