participate in. How will I ever find the time? Well I oughta at least go set up a profile."
It's always important to recognize the people around us when they do a great job, but it's an extra special pleasure for
me to recognize someone who's a member of our ActiveRain community!
This week I've had the pleaure to work with Carra Riley, the author of Cosmic Cow Pie.
I can't remember how we first contacted each other, but I think it was when I was trolling around the newest and coolest social media site, Google+, looking for someone to interact with. After a trading a few +1's, commenting on each other's posts and sharing some circles of friends, we made contact via phone.
In our first conversation Carra took plenty of time showing me around Google+ helping me strategize, teaching me some cool tricks and helping to find some fun people to follow. She encouraged me to fully complete my profile and how to create my business pages. I recognized right away that her level of comfort with Google+ was very high, so I encouraged her to write this guest post about Google+ for my blog ExpertRealEstateTalk.com.
One thing led to another, and before you know it she had invited me to appear as a guest on Carra's BlogTalkRadio show.
We talked several times over the next week preparing for the radio show, plus we did a Free 1/2 Hour Plan of Action Consultation. Use the link and you can have your free consultation too!
During my Plan of Action Consultation it was very clear that Carra's expertise was not limited to Google+ and in fact I learned that she was once a top producing Realtor in Colorado. She listened attentively as I described my successes and my failures as a real estate agent, then made some great suggestions about how I could improve my real estate business. I'll admit, I'm not the most coachable person out there, but Carra was not fazed and took my stubborness in stride.
Whether you're looking to increase your understanding and participation in social media or blogging, or if you're looking for a real estate coach, I would highly recommend that you contact her.

A friend of mine wanted to take me to lunch for my birthday last week. When she asked me where I wanted
to go I suggested my favorite sushi place on Albuquerque’s west side.
I should have known something was up, because when we walked into the restaurant, the owner, who is
frequently at the front and usually is very friendly, didn’t greet us with the same enthusiasm as usual. But I didn’t really think much of it, I mean we all have bad days, right?
My friend and I were seated, ordered our food, and everything was going well for the first part of our meal. We were having fun talking, laughing and enjoying our food.
Well, evidently the employees were hungry too, because after we got our food they all came out and sat down and started to eat. That’s cool, everyone’s got to eat, right? The problem is, our server proceeded to totally ignore us for the next 20 minutes. My friend had to walk over to her table to ask for more Wasabi. I had to flag our waitress down to get another drink.
Alright, enough whining right? No big deal.
However, it got worse. The owner started walking around the restaurant closing window blinds and turning the
lights off while we still had food on our table.
Evidently they close every afternoon between lunch and dinner, and they had places to go and people to see. Unfortunately, they didn’t say anything to us when we walked in like “we’ll be closing at 2pm.” Maybe they were worried that if they had, that we might have gone to the sushi place across the street. After all, it’s pretty good too.
But no, instead they said nothing, seated us and reluctantly gave us less than spectacular customer service. The food was still good, but the dining experience was greatly diminished.
We still had a great lunch, and as I drove away, instead of being upset, I reflected upon the level of customer service I had just been provided and I wondered, “do my clients ever feel like I’m distracted or like I’m giving them less than my absolute best?” Does it ever seem to them like I‘m just going through the motions?
Geez, I sure hope not.
I love my clients, they make my world go ‘round! I like to think I am always 100% engaged when we are out there looking at Albquerque Homes for Sale. I want their experience to be like my experience is at the Apple store. Ever shopped at the Apple store? They make you feel like you’re not just buying a machine, but like you are the most important person in the world with their product demos.
Without our clients we are nothing! Make sure you're treating them like Royalty!

I care about my clients and I love Albuquerque Real Estate!
I've been an Albuquerque Real Estate agent since 2004. I started my real estate career with a small local company, then moved to REMAX in 2006. I stayed with REMAX-except for a brief stint with Keller Williams-until December 2011 when I moved to Venture Realty Group.
I love selling Albuquerque Homes. If you've got a home to sell I can help you set a realistic sales price to bring an offer in a reaonable time without giving away all of your equity.
I also love helping my buyer clients purchase Albuquerque Houses. I promise to help you by providing lots of information and I promise never to pressure you to buy. I believe you'll know the right house when you see it and that beautiful and correctly priced homes sell themselves. All you need is information and guidance, not a hard-core sales approach. In the current market, many buyes are searching for Foreclosure Homes in Albuquerque and Short Sale Homes in Albuquerque.
I'm an Albuquerque Realtor who works with both buyers and sellers in the Albuquerque metro area, but I especially enjoy working with people who are moving to Albuquerque. If you are moving to Albuquerque you need a Realtor who is familiar with all the areas that make up the Albuquerque Metro area. I especially enjoy working with Northwest Albuquerque Real Estate and Rio Rancho Homes.
I've helped Albuquerque relocation buyers find homes in every part of the Albuquerque metro area including Rio Rancho, Corrales, Placitas, Algodones, Tijeras, Sandia Park, Bosque farms and Los Lunas. I understand that people moving to Albuquerque need to see a variety of homes in a variety of areas before they decide which area they're going to choose to call home. If you are coming into town to find your new home I will make sure we spend all the time you need locating your new home.
Start your Albuquerque home search using these websites:
Albuquerque Metro Real Estate (inlcudes the east mountain areas and more rural areas like Bosque Farms and Los Lunas)
I'd like to take a moment to thank some of my awesome service providers:
Albuquerque Mortgage Expert Patsy Bailey is one of my preferred lenders. Patsy is experienced and provides excellent customer service. Getting a mortgage loan is more complicated than ever, even for very qualified applicants, so you should contact a lender like Patsy Bailey early in the home buying process.
Wes Moore with Superior Mortgage also does an awesome job for my clients. He'll give you the straight scoop and will also give you excellent advice. Contact wes about Albuquerque Home Mortgages.
I'm a Chicagoan who's been transplanted here in the desert of New Mexico. I was born in Evanston, raised in Glen Ellyn and went to college at Northwest Univeristy. Go Wildcats! I've also lived in Saint Louis MO, Appleton WI, and Denver Co.
In Chicago I worked as a free-lance musician, I played trumpet for all kinds of paying gigs from symphony and ballet to Broadway style shows and pops concerts. Here in New Mexico I've played with the New Mexico Symphony, Santa Fe Symphony and Santa Fe Opera.
I'm a huge Chicago Cubs fan, one of the highlights of my musical career was standing on the field and playing trumpet at Wrigley Field for Haray Caray day. I remember where I was when Ryno hit two homers against the Cardinals in June of 1984 and the worst day of my life was in 1984 when Steve Garvey hit the home run that started the Padres comeback against the Cubs. I was in Murphy's Bleacher bar.
I believe in giving back to others. Currently I hold several leadership positions including vice president of my neighborhood association, vice chair of the Southwest MLS compliance committee and I'm currently involved in the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtor's Leadership Development program. In the past I've also been a Cub Scout leader and music teacher.
My creative outlets these days include photography and blogging. Besides my involvement here at ActiveRain, I publish to my Albuquerque Real Estate Blog almost every day, and to my NM Buyer Specialists, Ventana Ranch Homes for Sale and Taylor Ranch Homes for Sale blogs often.
Here's my Google Profile:
Britt and I appreciate all your doing for us and have done. Buying a house is one of the biggest things we'll ever do and you've made it so much easier than you could have. I know I've told you this before but I just wanted to say it again...THANK YOU!
Britt and Michelle T., Los Lunas, NM
We want to thank-you for all your hard work and guidance while selling and buying our homes. Since I met you 4 years ago I was struck by your professionalism, honesty, and integrity. You proved to be the right realtor for us when the housing market fell and you stood firm on our price. In the end we got a good price on our house and a great deal on our new home for our family. We appreciate your service, communication and patience through the entire process. We will recommend you to all our friends and family.
Shane & Renee H., Albuquerque, NM
Rich helped me sell our home and close in less than 60 days. Amazing results in this market. I am a Realtor from Michigan and could not have been more pleased with the entire process. Rich coordinated some minor repairs, was always accessible, has tremendous attention to detail, and was extremely knowledgeable of the local markets. If you want or need to sell a home in the Albuquerque area, the results speak for themselves. Call Rich."

Rich took a great deal of time helping us find a nice house in a nice area. He showed us around town and knows which areas and builders are good quality areas. This was very helpful just recently relocating to New Mexico. Rich also helped us through each step in the process and worked hard to help us get a good deal on our house. I would highly recommend Rich to anyone needing an agent."

Rich was very patient and provided expert advice in the purchase of our new home. His high level of expertise, knowledge and professionalism were the reasons that we wanted to work with Rich, but we were also continually grateful for his warmth and heartfelt friendliness during those moments when we got discouraged. Rich guided us and provided many little extras - including driving me to look at houses when I did not have a car. He went above and beyond what the average real estate agent does. We would highly recommend Rich Cederberg to anyone interested in real estate."

Rich was a wonderful realtor. In every instance he went to extrordinary lengths to make sure that my needs and desires were addressed.

First hired Rich as a Real Estate Agent in 2006, and hired Rich more than once
Rich is a RE/MAX Realtor at a company in a different state. I had a client moving to his area, and I recommended that they work with Rich. He took excellent care of my client, and they were very happy with him. Rich kept in touch with me on a regular basis to let me know how their home search was going, and worked hard to find them the right house based on their needs and difficult financial situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Rich to any of my other clients." June 21, 2008
