One of the homes that we just sold, was an older unit. The seller was well positioned to get the home sold at a fair price, but due to market conditions things were not expected to move quickly. But with my contacts in the region, I was able to make some call and send out information on this listing and we were able to get 20% more for the home than we expected.

I am well connected and a people person. Every where I go I talk to people and try and help them, even if it is just a kind word. So people remember me and I use this to be able to reach out to people and this allows me to extend my network of potential buyers for homes that I sell.
