Back in early August...when all the #$%# hit the fan extra hard in the mortgage industry, I wrote So You Think You Might Need a Mortgage? on Rain City Guide. A Realtor from Arizona read it and sent me this email:
"I just read your article on "So you think you might need a mortgage". Very impressive. I am a Realtor in Mesa Arizona, and have been a loan officer several years ago....I do not make my living with loans, but want to insure my real estate client's do not get into trouble in the future. I have long said many of the subprime loans were no good for most people and what's happening now shows that I was right.Do you do loans in Arizona? If so please let me know..."
BTW...I'm licensed for loans in Washington State...I don't provide financing in Arizona.
"I would also like to have permission to reprint with your photo the article in my HOA newsletter, as I could not write it any better. This would go to 750 homes where I live and where I get the most of my real estate clients. The newsletter goes out once a month. I put a full page real estate ad on one side and an informative article on the other side. Since this is a print article there would be no active likes, but all your contact info will be included."
This week, I received a copy of the HOA Golden Hills Newsletter this week which did include a copy of my article. At the very least, I'm tickled that someone appreciated my writing enough to send it to 750 neighbors!
And who knows...there are plenty of snow birds in AZ...a few just might be from our area. The point is, it's an opportunity I have from blogging. Simply writing down what I care about.
Give it a try!
Stumble It!
