I got my first referral from someone visiting Active Rain! It is amazing the power of the "rain".

Congratulations!  I have someone who found me on Activer Rain and wants to sell when her daughter finishes school in 2008 and then buy a home with me.  We e-mail and I have her on automatic updates so she can keep track of what is available in the area she likes.  So, I look forward to the day when I will have a story similar to yours.  I lover Active Rain and can tell it has made a difference in my web presence.

Congratulations to YOU and to THEM for finding YOU!!!

Wow- way to go. Congrats to you. i happy to here such positive reports about active rain.

It's nice when AR brings clients that feel like they already know you from reading all your blogs.

Ya gotta put yourself out there.

 Good job, Lizette.  I'm glad you were able to make them happy.

Lizette, what a wonderful story and how nice that you've not only got new clients, you've got new friends!  I wish them the best of luck in their wonderful new home and I know they will always think about your kindness and knowledge in helping them relocate to their dream home!

Yes, I think it's the new friends part of the story that's the best, but a little bit of new business is always good, right? Congrats on your success!!

Was there a specific blog post that drew them to you?

congrats on helping this family into their new home, it feels really good dosn't it.

That's great to know. Hope you get plenty more in the future.

Congratulations. 

I'm not surprised.  Your posts are very consumer appealing.  You talk about yourself, but then chock the articles full of consumer information.  They learn and learn to like you all at the same time. 

Congrats! That is so exciting! It proves that AR works! I am happy for you and for many more to come your way. And also the referrals you will get from these clients! Katerina

Congratualtions, I am from KY and just closed with a Ky couple from Richmond moving here. Wonderful people. A web site lead and I recognized the area code. Called them and the rest is history.

Lizette, congratulations.  Your good "luck" is surely a combination of both AR's power and the value you put in your own blogging content!

Congrats! I've never had a referral from Active Rain but look forward to one someday.

That is great. Glad to hear that your transaction went well.

Congratulations, I'm about to have my first closing as a result of A.R. in a few weeks. It took a long time but I'm starting to get contacted more and more as a result of my posts. Now bad since Pueblo isn't a hot bed of activity.

Lizette--Congrats to you and your clients! AR certainly makes a difference in our business!

Congratulations Lizette...I joined Active Rain on February 12, 2007 and I am now working on my 7th lead from Active Rain.  This is more leads in nealry 5 1/2 months than I had in 5 years with Realtor.com!  Not only have I received the leads, my personal site as jumped on the Google Rankings.  Before Active Rain you could not find my site on the 50th page of Google.  Since Active Rain my site comes up on the 3rd or 4th page consistently and I am working to improve that.  Good luck to you and I hope this is the first of many, many more happy clients for you.

Congrats Lizette!

Go Cats!

Do you even feel guilty just a little bit for slam dunking this one, WOW, is all I can say, Congratulations you deserve an easier, and I say easier one cautiously.  Good for you!
