Well, ain't that a kick in the pants?

Alan that is some crazy long lasting impression my friend.

11yrs WOW

oh, i forgot...open houses dont work :) its your charasmatic personality that did it

Amazing!  Hopefully they will have you help them find a great house as well!

Wow, that is amazing! This is a great tip to me to not take people off my drip campaigns because you just never know.

WOW!  Great to be thought of professionally!  GOOD KICK!

Alan, it is nice to learn that someone has had good vibes about you when you are busy doing things an just hoping you get a lead.

I had a lady contact me about five years after I had worked her mortgage loan.  Her reason?

A few months after she bought her home, her son played with matches and lighter fluid, set their deck and the neighbors deck on fire.  She was a single mom afraid Child Services would take him away.  Her neighbor had suied her, and the boy was acting out in rebellion.  She had no where to turn, but the boy remembered my being nice to him when they bought the house.  She called and asked if I would sit down with him and hear him out.  I did, and that alone was a greater reward than I could have imagined.  Whe she married, and they began looking for a house, she had to track me down, and she did.  What more could I wish?  I worked hard on her mortgage loan, but a child remembering a kind word won the day.

Alan... there must be a "slogan" for your business hidden in this situation. But I've had this happen as well, but not after 11 years. And it's one reason I never remove anyone from my email list till they ask me to. I like being the last woman standing when they have a need to buy or sell.

That's so cool! Just goes to show that we do make impressions on people we meet...not just when we're working, but always. 

Alan May ~ now that's what I call leaving a lasting impression That might even be a record...

The longest prospect I know of was a woman I met at an open house in 2009. I sold her home in 2014. Once again, she called because she liked me.

Alan, Was their last name Pachyderm by chance?  That's a long time to hold onto an agent name!  I've sat down with potential sellers and they can't even remember the name of their buyer's agent from 5 years ago (and sometimes even less time than that).

They remembered you from 11 years ago.  Did you recognize then when you saw them?

Oh that is great Alan.  Wow, you really did make a great first impression.

Hey, Alan!

I included this post in today's "Last Week's Favorites".  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Just proves the old adage: "You never get a 2nd chance to make a first impression." Yours was obviously long-lasting!

Wow, I have a hard time remembering people I met last week let along 11 years ago. You must have made a great impression!

11 years eh ?   Who says clients don't have a long memory ?   Do a professional job and they will  remember you

Aw Sweet - we should all be so lucky! 

A good kick inthe pants! 

Yep!  Ain't that something!
