A few days ago, Ardell posted a blog about researching a good retirement area: http://activerain.com/blogsview/476659/Should-I-retire-to Do take a minute to read it. There are a lot of interesting comments suggesting various areas.....
Anyway, as I stated in a comment, I have a little retirement home in Southern AZ. It currently has tenants/housesitters. Lord only knows if I'll ever manage to retire there....
I get mailers from real estate agents in that area pretty frequently. One I received today told me that the agent was an expert at internet marketing.
I started to toss the letter, but then I got to thinking, I otta do a little research and find how just how much of an "expert" this guy is ..... first I think I'll look him up here on Active Rain, and if he's not a member, hey, I'll send an invitation. In fact, I think I'll start sending Active Rain invitations to all of the out of state agents that send me solicitations, that'll fix 'em.
And cold calls from lenders I've never heard of ... I'll ask for their email and shoot off an AR invitation, right while they've still got me tied up on the phone.
This could be fun. And if any of these guys do join, then I'll get some new member points. :-)
I'll report back later ....
Go get 'em, Cheryl. Love the way your brain works!
We just had a lady from California decide to retire in Holland, MI. She's been written about twice in The Grand Rapids Press, they're putting her in the Tulip Time Parade and the mayor's taking her out for lunch. The neighbors put a "Welkom" (it's Dutch) sign in her yard.
Just let me know when I should find a house for you.
I like this twist on solicitors and cold-callers! I'll have to give that a whirl myself.
