What a Difference it Makes When Dealing with a Professional Full-Time Realtor. Part II

This post is a follow up to my previous post about Full-Time Professional Realtors. The Realtor in which I speak is a member of Active Rain and a Full-Time Professional Realtor in Jupiter, Florida. Her name is Leslie Bushby and today I had the pleasure of a follow-up phone call. As we are both moving forward to help our clients achieve the American Dream of Home Ownership it is nice to know that my counter part is working with me and not against me.

I have seen so many Realtors that want to get involved with the Mortgage side of the transaction and have know idea what they are doing. I fully understand they want to make sure the file is moving forward and can appreciate that, but they are trying to give advice under the eyes of fiduciary responsibility and they don't have a clue on what is happening in the mortgage industry.  So many times they just want to look at the Good Faith Estimate and assume that tells the whole story. 

It is truly nice to see when dealing with a Professional Realtor that wants to get involved with transaction and not just worried about my commission and how much I am getting paid for the file.  Leslie Bushby is genuinely concerned about the whole file and I am sure at the same time wanting to make sure our clients are not being taken advantage of.

When speaking with her today I asked her if she was on Active Rain (why keep it a secret) and to let her know how great the site is. She had informed me that she is but does not comment that much but really enjoys reading peoples blogs. 

This brought me to realize that many posts I have seen on Active Rain say that many members just join and do nothing else. In this case, here is a true Professional who while not commenting does read peoples post and learns from them.  So I ask you this. What is more important getting points by placing bad posts and bad comments (just for the points) or actually having a Professional read what other Professionals write in the industry and learn from them?
