Holy toledo!! I am completely psyched!
Here's how it went down...When I first started really paying attention to what was going on with ActiveRain two weeks ago I was asked to help some folks from out of town.
I was skeptical...is this some sort of gimmick?
Is this referral REALLY going to come my way? Then it did (full skepticism still present).
Are these real folks? I talked to them on the phone - they sounded real (skepticism lingering at 34.2%)
Are these people really going to come to San Antonio? They came to San Antonio. (skepticicism nada, zilche, finite)
It happened today! It has been POURING rain all week deep in the heart of Texas. We are talking gata's & perro's (translation: cats & dogs. A little spanish lesson thrown in there - hey, it's the least I can do) but we prevailed through it!
WE (Myself and my ActiveRain referral) saw 5 homes, they chose one, I wrote it up. Groovy!
I was originally just smitten with ActiveRain and wasn't quite sure if it would receive a rose at the most dramatic rose ceremony yet.
I think it is safe to say I am now in Love. I LOVE helping your referrals! Thanks!

Congratulations!
Kristin, I believe this is the boda bing feeling. I just got my first referral also and I had the same feeling. I hope all works out for you...
You go girl I just got a great referral today from Active Rain. Keep me in mind if you have anyone coing to Florida
Congratulations, that is great, I am still waiting on my first referral, so come on folks if you know someone moving to the Bay area CA I'm your gal!!!
Congrats! Sure makes all those 4-5 month clients worth it! I just got an email through my Active Rain account from a FSBO in my area, Logan, UT that wants me to run a CMA on his home.......it's a great feeling!!!!

Great...but remember this is gravy and brand imaging.......
Celebrate! this is a great way to do business. Veronica
Awesome! It really feels good being connected doesn't it! ActiveRain is really a wonderful place.
Hi Kristin, that is AWESOME! Iam so happy for you, it is truly something to celebrate. Take care and I wish you many more!
Hi Kristin;
Great news and congratulations. WOW!! to active rain.

Congratulations! I am also in love with AR. I have not been logged on in a while (been so busy) but AR will always have a piece of my heart.
Congrats again and I wish you many more!
Wonderful and congratulations! I am still a fan of AR, even if I haven't written up an offer yet. I have, however received a few leads through AR. Just a few days ago, a prospect emailed me and asked me about the sewer situation in Los Osos, indicating they are looking to buy in 2-3 years' time. My strongest lead was received last fall - a very nice young couple who had to sell their home first before they can relocate to the Central Coast CA. I kept them on the updates. I didn't hear from them for some time and thought they disappeared. Well, they didn't. Turned out they had sold their home and planning to buy soon. I hope to join you in writing up a contract soon. More importantly, I hope to help these folks find the right home. AR works!
That is an awesome testimony to the power of the rain! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations Kristin, and I hope you get many more!!
I'll join in on the congratulations. Glad to see that you've tasted a little of the success that's pouring down :)
Congratulations Kristin! I just received a referral last week, and it looks like a listing will come because of it! It's great to have fun and generate business at the same time!
Congratulations!... Not to mention I am a Naples, FL agent that is originally from TOLEDO!
I confess, that's actually how you caught my attention.
Sweet. Great Job, this should inspire many people to keep positive and continue using AR.
Another AR success story. This is great.
that's fantastic...keep working hard
Have a great day!

Congratulations, that is amazing! It is great to see that this community really does help one another out.
Active Rain is still in it's infancy. Imagine what it will be like in the future? The world is our audience and A|R really does work.
Congrats! I'm new to the network, so I'm hoping to receive some referrals and help with any questions.

Congratulations Kristin and Kudos to Active Rain...may it pour on us all!
You go girl. My sister lives in San Antonio and loves it. I'm from TX also. MY first sell was a walk-in. My how times have changed. Now we get them off the internet. some of our greatest friends. Great job and best wishes on a successful career.
Congratulations, Kristin! I am looking forward to the day when I receive my first referral. Did they contact you by email or phone, or did you look in the referral list?
Kristin - what a fun post to read - very inviting ... I love your play on The Bachelor(ette) ... I was originally just smitten with ActiveRain and wasn't quite sure if it would receive a rose at the most dramatic rose ceremony yet. Reading this made me smile and I can feel your happiness. You deserve it! I am happy for YOU!
Hey Kristen,
Congrats on the referral! Just in case you have anyone moving to "Holy Toledo, Ohio" keep me in mind :-)!!
Congrats! I can't wait to see some referrals of my own!
Congratulations and here's hoping that you get more referrals your way from Active Rain. One day and I hope soon, I get to reap the same benefit as you.
This is great! When I first started a few weeks back I thought that it would be months before results from consumers finding because of blogs. I have had 2 calls about homes I have on line through my blog in the last week, granted they both have agents, but people are finding me much sooner than I thought it would work!
Glad to hear it also gets referrals from agents too, did not thik of that at all when I started.
Congratulations on your referral Kristin. Its great to hear when people hear close deals from Active Rain. Much success to you. Great post.
Congratulations. And it's a true testiment to you that you were able to work with them and get them the home of their choice. You have to know what you are doing to start with and the referrals are just the frosting on the cake.
KRISTIN - Congratulations on achieving such early success in the rain. It doesn't come that quickly for most, but if you dedicate yourself to blogging, the phone will start to ring.
The first one is the best but as the activity increases don't forget to keep the process going.
Congrats!!! I haven't picked up a buyer referral yet but I have had a listing referral and a request to put one of my blog articles in a community newsletter.
WE (Myself and my ActiveRain referral) saw 5 homes, they chose one, I wrote it up. Groovy!

Morning Kristin,
Congratulations on the contract. Hope the closing goes well too. Keep up the good work and stay active in the Rain. It really does work!
thats great, now send me some tips!
Great news! I love when you get contacted out of the clear blue sky! You blog and blog and blog sometimes wondering who will really find you in the sea of a billion words, tags, etc.. and then it happens! Happy day!
Congrats Kristin! Good luck on obtaining more and more referrals!
Congrats, Kristen! Power to the Rain! It really does work.
Caroyln - Thank you so much!
Hal - I will let you know how closing goes. So far, so good.
Johnathan - um, ok, lemme think of some :)>
Cristal - Me too!! Love it!
Hope - THANKS! I hope some come your way also!
Tanya - I am a believer :).
Congratulations! I currently have 4 listings that came directly from Active Rain. It's pretty bizarre I guess. Most people get buyers from their internet efforts. But lately I 've only gotten listings. But that's fine with me! =)
I agree! I will take either and be happy! Thanks LISA!
