The power of Active Rain Networking,has allowed me to build many new friendships and has given me many business opportunities to build upon. Today, was certainly no exception!
Recently, my good friend Kat De Long, a special friend and associate from Active Rain, invited me to speak at one of her office meetings, at Windermere Fine Properties. After speaking with her Office Broker, Glenn Tinturin, we lined up a day for me to come out and speak to the office about Professional Home Staging and the benefits it has to offer Real Estate agents and their clients. Well today was the day and was I ever happy to meet this great group of Professionals from Windermere Fine Properties, Lake Arrowhead, CA!
The morning started off with breakfast and coffee provided by Empire Home Staging Solutions, and then it was introduction time! I proceeded to explain, to all of the attentive Windermere Professionals, about the benefits of professional home staging and how it will benefit the realtors and especially their clients!
We then had a Q&A session and all of the questions, let me know that these realtors were really receptive to the need for home staging in their market. Justine and I were so pleased to have this opportunity to meet everyone from Kat De Long's office, and to find that many of them are member's right here on Active Rain. I am so proud to associate myself, with all of these fine Windermere professionals! What a great group! It was easy to see throughout today's meeting that Windermere, really cares about their employees and the clients and community they serve!
Today's meeting was possibly the beginning of great connections made here on the Rain...and only time will tell of the relationships we build, however of this I am certain,...that for any real estate needs in the beautiful Lake Arrowhead area, I would highly recommend Windermere Fine Properties to anyone! The knowledge and professionalism shown by these agents tells me that this group will handle any transaction with the utmost care and will always look out for the best interest of any seller or buyer.
Thanks Active Rain, for making great connections happen!

Michelle: YOU and YOUR daughter, Justine, were fantastic!!!!! What a wonderful meeting we had, thanks to you both!!! The breakfast you served us was so YUMMY...And the display you set up to show us how you can"Stage" anyplace, anywhere, anything, anytime, was beyond belief. YOU actually made that bank conference room look GREAT! You not only impressed me, but you totally impressed everyone in my office. WE were so happy to have you.
...and THANK YOU for all the gifts/prizes.
We'll talk soon, my friend.
Kat-Thanks so much for your kind words! We were so happy to meet your office associates and we realized today just how fortunate you are to work everyday with such a great group of professionals! Glad you won the prize today! You so deserve it for all the help you have given me over and over again here on the Rain!
The power of networking and relationships!! Great post and thanks for sharing....nice to read!!
What a successful event Michelle. Glad it went so well for you and it sounds like it was a hit from the Realtor's perspective too. Continued success!
Another Active Rain success story from playing. Now aren't you glad that you didn't listen to your mother when she told you not to play in the Rain? LOL
Congratulations!
Russel-Thanks for visiting. I'm so glad I met this great group of individuals...it's definitely worth it to play here in the Rain!
Michelle: Congratulations on a successful presentation to a great group of agents. I hope that you get lots of work from this. What a great AR story.
Michelle-The business of course is always welcomed,... but meeting this great group of agents meant a lot to me! I enjoy meeting new people and finding out about their interests. I hope to be of service to this wonderful Lake Arrowhead Windermere family!
Cathy Lee-There really is power in networking, I'm so thankful for Active Rain!
Michele-Thanks so much! Have you had any connections made through Active Rain. yet?
hi Michelle, what a nice testimonial to Windermere, isn't it great when our online connections translate into the real world. I think we're all thankful for AR, it's been a wonderful gift to me in so many ways. Obviously it's the same for you, congrats!
Isn't it nice when what we perceive to be true IS...and the nice people always find each other. Great experience for all of you and it will serve you all well. Partnerships are what it's about in this industry. Moving each other's business forward.
How great is that! Networking with Windermere in lovely Lake Arrowhead. The power of AR is amazing. Keep up the great work!
Michelle, sounds like a great connection. Realtors do need to know more about staging and could use a professional's help. Wish you were closer. The pastries look yum!
Marti-Thanks! Yes, AR connections really are happening! Glad it has been working for you too!
Terrylynn-You are absolutely right! It is good karma to move each other forward!
Janice-Thanks so much! Yes, Lake Arrowhead is truly paradise and I couldn't have asked for a friendlier group of realtors than this Windermere office!
Sherry-I wish I were closer, I could help you out with your monthly coastal clean-up's! Thanks for visiting. Next time I'm in Morro Bay, I'll be sure to stop by with some pastries! (0:
I am SO receptive to professional staging, but I'm not convinced I could get anyone to pay for it in this area. For now, I'll keep reading and learning, and hoping to meet someone good in the Crofton area. Thanks for your comment on my post!
Margaret-Educating your clients about home staging will be advantageous not only to your clients but to your business as well. There are several different books out there and Real Estate training courses about home staging. May I suggest stagedhomes.com as the best source for learning the latest in home staging statistics and what is happening within the home staging industry. Wish I was closer to help you out in Cofton,but I am sure I can refer an ASP professional home stager that can service your area. Thanks for visiting!
Michelle, what a wonderful testament to the power of social networking! I'm sure you will get many new clients from this presentation. Congrats!
Annie-Social networking is key now a days in any type of business. Thanks for the vote of confidence,... I'm sure this will be a lasting relationship!
