It has got to say more than..."Hey, you! Yes, you! Call me!"
I received an inquiry yesterday from someone who had found me on ActiveRain. This person was in search of information on 55+ communities in Viera, Florida - specifically Grand Isle and its sibling Heritage Isle.
(Actually both communities were developed by Lennar Builders although a couple of other builders including Burgoon Berger and Tiffany Homes were also involved in the Heritage Isle undertaking.)
After playing phone tag I finally got a chance to discuss the 55+ communities in Viera. We also discussed Indian River Colony Club in Viera but that was dismissed pretty quickly as IRCC is an entirely resident owned not for profit corporation with more expense for the owner.
After obtaining her contact information I promised to mail her some information about the communities. She will be making a trip here soon to look further.
As I was about to hang up she let me know that she would only be working with me as her real estate agent in Viera, Florida.
The reason, in her words, "I provide information and don't just say ..."Hey, you! Yes, you! Call me!"
That means a lot because here on ActiveRain when someone contacts you there is tangible proof that your efforts are not fruitless!

Gary...Great post and I'm with you a hundred %. It amazes me how some agents operate and then wonder why they don't do anything.
Hey Gary....great post! You are so right.....they love all the information we provide in our posts!
Gary...
It's great to make a connection that causes a buyer to stick with you. Good job.
Good job! And congratulations on getting a LOYAL customer too! I hope you have a prosperous, mutually beneficial relationship =)
Lisa - Thanks. Loyalty - key word in this business!
Richard - Thanks, that is the purpose of all our efforts!
Barbara - Thanks. It is information they really seek. Why else would they hit the search key?
Rob - I guess the good thing is it creates the difference people seek - thanks.
Gary, consumers do love us bloggers! We give them real insight into communities that commercial web sites do not give. Congrats!

Gary Congratulations. One of the segment of the population I get a lot of calls from are seniors and it is because of the information I provided. Still getting calls on 3 year old post.
