Activerain works!

I have been blogging on Activerain for about 1.5 years.  Late last year I received my first referral from activerain.  After several attempts that buyer was finally able to find a home she loved and she closed on her new home in June 2009.

This Summer I decided that I had to re-dedicate my efforts to creating a strong online presence.  I participated in the hyper-local and local business blogs and upgraded my website.  I was amazed that within 10 minutes my hyper-local blogs were on the first page of google.  Within a week of doing this I received 3 credible leads that came in as a direct result of my blogging and website

  1. One couple who wanted to buy a home in Upper Marlboro.  After much searching for the perfect home, we are UNDER CONTRACT!!!!!!
  2. One lady has severe credit issues but is beginning to work with a mortgage broker to put herself in a position to hopefully buy a home next year.
  3. One man who is interested in buying a home in Oak Creek (one of the communities I focused on in the hyper-local blogs).  He is not local and is making arrangements to fly in to the DC area to take a look at the community more closely.

OK.  I'm convinced, this blogging thing works!!!!
