WOODBRIDGE VA "OUTSIDE THE BOX"LENDER MARKITA ALDRIDGE-WOODS MEETS THE REAL ESTATE FARMER LANRE FOLAYAN-ACTIVE RAIN MEET-UP VIDEO

Woodbridge VA "Outside the box" Lender meets the The Real Estate Farmer-Active Rain Meet-up Video. Three weeks ago to be exact today I finally got to meet one of my many favorite people here on Active Rain Your Local Woodbridge VA Lender who always bring you the Woodbridge VA Mortgage News Markita Aldridge-Woods. I had to meet up with her since I felt bad not making it to the Active Rain Meetup in VA. I also felt bad that I didn't get to  meet people that I wanted to meet up with at Raincamp DC last June such asCindy Jones, Fernando Herboso,Peggy Jamesand Justin Dibbs. I met Pat Kennedy and Brian Block at Raincamp DC last year but I definitely wanted to meet them again. And I can't and definitely won't forget some of my many favorite VA connects such as Karen Kruschka, Susan Haughton, Tamara Inzunza, Kaera Mims and Lorinda Ward

 

Markita Aldridge-Woods along with me,James Jones(He is not the one that play with my Miami Heat-LOL) and Cassandra Smith. Found out that Mrs.Aldridge-Woods is a comedian-LOL. And she is a Detroit Lions Fan-BOO! Just kidding. My San Franscisco 49ers are 3-1 (Still don't have faith in Quarterback Alex Smith-Sorry Niners Nation). Anyway we met up at a Largo MD Restaurant. The restaurant that we had our Power Lunch at should thank me and Markita for not writing no reviews on their restaurant and services. Did their services and food suck?YELP! Trying to increase our blood pressure. Too late to try and fill that position. Bank of America and Wells Fargo just to name a few have already filled that position. And what's up with the waiter? Wiith our Klout Scores,Active Rainmaker Status and us being Internet Savvy,we would've probably put them out of business with our reviews. But we are not going to do that. That's not how we get down.

 

But on a serious note after it was over,guess what we did? If you guessed Video. YELP! You are right. But sorry you don't get no prize. Anyway we did a Short Video. Markita Aldridge-Woods makes a lot of good videos. And we talked a while ago on the telephone about making one when we finally get the chance to meet up. So here it is. And no I wasn't about to burst a freestyle Yo!-Just kidding. But for some reason it looks like it in the Video. Anyway here it is people. Like Terrell Owens use to say "Get your Popcorn ready". THE WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO OF YOURS TRULY ME Lanre Folayan"The Real Estate Farmer" and Woodbridge VA "Outside the Box Lender "Markita Aldridge-Woods. INTRO VIDEO. HOLLYWOOD HERE WE COME. And the short video Oscar goes to..........

PG County MD First time homebuyers program keyword search by an open house vistor brought her to my Active Rain blog

PG County MD first time homebuyers program keyword search by an open house vistor brought her to my Active Rain blog. Yesterday I got a call from a lady. She said that she found my blog. I asked her which blog. She was talking about the Prince George's County "My Home Program" for PG County first time home buyers. 

To be honest with you,I was smiling when she said she read my blog. I immediately knew she was talking about Active Rain since this is the only place I post my blogs. But when she said Active Rain,I started laughing. People don't usually say "Activerain". They will say that they found you on the Internet. But to hear her say Active Rain",I had to laugh. This is why you need to blog more on Active Rain. People really read your blogs.

We started for about ten minutes. She told me that I met you at an Open house you did a while ago on 9108 Westphalia Rd Upper Marlboro MD 20774-Open house Sunday which is not too far from my real estate office located at 8500 Westphalia Rd Upper Marlboro MD 20774. I remembered her because she came with her baby and a guy. She told me that she was working with another EXIT Real Estate Agent from another office. I also remembered running into her again at a library about a month later. So for her to call me yesterday,it shocked me.

She said that she really wants to really buy a house right now. However she told me that two things need to come off her credit report. She wants to use the basement for a daycare because she has been thinking of opening up a daycare for a long time. She said she found me because typed in the search engine the keyword "PG County MD First time home buyers program"which led her to my Active Rain blog. Told her that I will keep in touch with her and send her information on more about the program for PG County MD First time home buyers

So if you know any first time home buyers programs in your area,write a blog about it. Since first time home buyers are always looking for programs that would help them with downpayment and closing costs,why not write a blog about it. I am going to be writing more first time home buyers programs in DC and MD.

QUESTION OF THE DAY. What is the next thing you want somebody to invent?

Question of the day. What is the next thing you want somebody to invent?

Whether it is the Search Engine,Internet,Social Media,Cell phone or Laptops,Many of us have been affected or changed in one way or the other by technology. Seems like somebody is coming up or is working on "The Next Big Thing in Technology".

While Technology has made our lives easier in some ways,it has worked against us sometimes. Have you ever had your GPS make you turn on a no turn street? Or gotten telephones calls from some John doe because he found you on the Internet or you either can't retrieve work that you save on the computer or lost work you spent hours typing only for it to suddenly disappear? Either one or all of these things has happened to most of us.

The next thing I want somebody to invent is something that will make me be able to read people's mind. Someone thinking about somethingI don't know if that is possible but that's what I want.

So what is the next thing you want somebody to invent?
