Newbie Blogger wins client - Success already!

By
Mortgage and Lending with Homestar Financial Corporation

So as probably very few of you know, I am new to the world of blogging and am still learning the ins and outs of what makes a succesful marketable blog. 

I have to say that I feel very fortunate today. I had posted a blog about a new grant program to help first time home buyers recently ...(Get a grant for your first time homebuyer !!! Up to $10K towards the purchase of your first home.)

 I had an email from a potential client a few days later in a marketing area I would have never accessed with out the internet's help.

Active Rain Works!!! My new client turned out to be a perfect fit for the grant and they just put a house under contract and we'll be closing in a few weeks.

Thanks to all of you who post such helpful information to help the new guys be more succesful.

Hey Patty and Scott,

The program is available through the Federal Home Bank system. The regional office for me is in Atlanta, yours looks like it would be Seattle...you would have to check with your local lenders to see if one of them is signed up with FHB for this program. Here is the website : http://www.fhlbanks.com/

Hope that helps!
