While it is only whispered among blog posters, the undisputed King of Active Rain members is Virginia-Washington, D.C. Re/Max Realtor, Brian Block.
Earlier this year, he got a call from one of his Re/Max colleagues, Terry Rudman. "Do you have a contact in Dallas who I can trust to help my daughter buy a condo?" she asked him.
Brian recommended me. What a compliment.
Terry did what every mom should do. She called and talked to me to be sure that from my voice and answers, Brian had given her good advice. (She used her very authoritative school teacher voice, probably to spook me into spilling the beans if there were any to spill.) Only then did she give me her daughter, Kathryn "Kat"'s phone number.
Yesterday we found Kat's condo. Today we submitted Kat's contract. Here's a picture of client happiness.
Let me end by parenthetically saying that Kat is one smart cookie, and has a superb personality. She can be our daughter anytime she wants.

Bill, I am so glad to hear that this worked out for you. King of AR? Not sure I qualify for such a title, but I certainly appreciate it.
Thanks to you, Brian. And would you please pass this on to Terry? I don't seem to have her email address.

Bill and Brian,
I enjoyed reading this post so much this morning.....two of my favourite guys collaborating to help a young lady buy what I'm thinking must be her first home. She certainly is in good hands.....
Congrats to you Kat and I hope you'll be very happy in your new place!

Miss Jo, you'd like Kat, too. Thanks for continuing to like Brian and me. Both of us try hard, Brian probably more than I.
Bill
The grin on her face is priceless! She couldn't have been in better hands...good job Bill. Brian chose well!
She is soooo darned cute. I suspect she's at least 30, but she keeps the look and enthusiasm of a teenager. I have really enjoyed this one!
Thanks, Miss Joanie.
Bill,
Great story and a happy ending. I know you did not have any problems finding a condo in this market. I hope Kat enjoys Dallas as much as I have.
Richard, some the condoa projects around Preston and Beltline are really well done and well maintained. They are perfect for people like Kat. And I say that even though I'm not normally a condo fan.
Bill
Great encouraging post...realtors working together for a win-win-win....win for both realtors and most importantly the client wins. Active Rain is a wonderful referral network. Keep up the great work!
Boy, Lisa and Jeff --- You're right about that. I wish Active Rain and the members would do a better job of promoting that alliance.
The money is small in this one, but I surely have enjoyed doing it!
Bill
