ActiveRain Real Estate Referral Network in Santee, CA
I just had some outstanding results from requesting a real estate professional to help a friend of mine that I met while in the Marine Corps.
Norm (my friend) has stayed in the San Diego area and is thinking about starting the home buying process. I told him that I would get him in touch with my contact out in San Diego to help him start getting prepared to buy a home. I had someone in the San Diego area previously that I utilized to keep me up to date on the market conditions and help me whenever one of my in-laws might be thinking of moving. My wife grew up in PB (Pacific Beach) and we still know a lot of people in Southern California that are close friends or relatives. Unfortunately, my contact is no longer in the real estate community and I needed to find someone else to help.
I could have used the relocation network within my company, but I wanted to ensure that my new contact was a tech savvy individual to keep me abreast of situations. Consequently, I used ActiveRain's real estate referral network.
Within 8 hours of posting my request for a real estate agent in the Santee CA area, I had over 30 real estate professionals reply for the potential client.
WOW!
It is definitely a testimonial to the ability of the ActiveRain community to connect real estate professionals with other real estate professionals in a very short period of time.
It is also a sign of how much more tech savvy the real estate agents from Southern California are compared to the real estate agents in Central Minnesota. I'd bet that there are only a handful of real estate professionals in the St Cloud area that have response times to Internet queries of under 1 day.
Now my dilemma is which agent to choose.
