Lovely couple with two little ones, is joining the community of Glastonbury, Ct.  Due to a job relocation, they moved from Connecticut to another state, a few years ago.  Now, the job market has brought them back to us, here in Glastonbury, Ct. The location is perfect for their commutes to work, shopping and local entertainment.  I found this home for them, quite by accident.  The husband was working while they were here for a week.  I showed his family homes in several towns and the three homes that made the A list were revisited with the husband.  One home that they loved, once the both viewed it, went under deposit within minutes of our showing.  That was a disappointment, but, the Seller of that home chose not to wait for our offer.  It happens. I advised my clients that it was a ho... 07/29/2012

  A few weeks ago I achieved the #1 spot in my town on the AR leader board.  Seemed like a milestone I would never reach.   Recently, I had the idea of looking at ActiveRain as if I was a prospective buyer or seller.  What would they see?  How would my profile look? What did my ranking look like to them? What was I saying to them? I was shocked at what I saw when I typed in my town. After months of dedication to get to that top spot, another local Realtor’s face and blog was everywhere on the same page. In fact, if I were a buyer or seller, I probably would be more impressed with seeing that Realtor’s apparent “status” than my own. This puzzled me. How did that happen? Why aren’t my posts in these spots? How can I be sure I am getting noticed? I sent AR tech support a quick email – most... 01/02/2012
