I just had an appointment yesterday to view a home for a possible listing in town.
When I received the call the other day, I did my regular screening to prepare for my appointment. During the initial conversation I asked; how they happen to get my name and number.
The caller told me that a friend knew my work and recommended them to contact me since they were considering selling their summer home.
To me, that's one of the best compliments I can get, word of mouth! Awesome!
As I met with the homeowners and gave them my presentation, I mentioned that 87% percent of home buyers start online...(you know, blah-blah-blah).
That's when they told me that they had poked around the internet and noticed my presence in various sites...and mentioned "Active Rain"...
That got my attention!
They said: "we checked you out there"...
Really? Wow...I was impressed.
They are an older couple, are computer saavy and live in Northern NJ. Apparently, they had heard about Active Rain from a neighbor, so they decided to look for me here as well.
All I can say is...THANK YOU Active Rain, for giving us this forum to get noticed!
(I think for this couple, they just needed to confirm that I was for real)
And thank you agents in North Jersey, you've definitely gotten the word out about our network.
Oh and by the way, I got the listing, it's going on the market next week...
