Bill Clinton
I love reading your blog, it has so much information!
Holy #$!@!
Bill Clinton, the former President, is reading my blog. Wow. Okay, I know it was simply a spammer, using his name but still it was fun to see his name among my Akismet Spammers this morning.
A nice break from names that includes part of the human anatomy, you know, the ones that make you blush when you have to say them in front of your mom.
Anyhow, back to Bill. I’m not sure which would have amazed me more. Him reading my blog, or him reading at all.
Moving on to something that is real, I recently received a few recomendations via my LinkedIn profile and thought I’d pass them on to those that might be interested. Okay, so mom, mom-in-law and Gretchen, here you go…
“Toby is one of the finest real estate pundits to come out of the Heartland. His ‘take on Delaware real estate’ draws national attention to the Rockwell-esque market he serves. Delaware County home selllers should recognize that Toby’s national reputation attracts an audience and will help get property sold more quickly.†November 7, 2007. Brian Brady, Author, Bloodhound Realty Blog, worked with Toby at Disbennett Real Estate Company
Wow that was very nice of Brian to say.
“Toby is an excellent writer and a positive influence in the blogging world. He leads by example and can be counted on to assist others.†November 6, 2007. Kristal Kraft, Real Estate Blogger, Active Rain worked with Toby at Disbennett Real Estate Company
Coming from Kristal, this is a great compliment. Spend a few minutes on her blog and you’ll be blown away. Her photos are amazing, I always look forward to her going on vacation to those locations I can only dream of visiting and sending back her gorgeous photos.
“Toby and I have not yet done a real estate deal, but the truth is, he is an excellent communicator and networker and was kind enough to provide me with some possible local leads about 9 months ago. I know without a doubt I would refer clients to Toby in his area, he is an intelligent and savvy and caring professional!†November 5, 2007. Carole Cohen, Realtor, Howard Hanna Company was with another company when working with Toby at Disbennett Real Estate Company
I have been trying my hardest to get a deal with Carole. Unfortunately, it just hasn’t been working for us. But that doesn’t mean we’ll stop 
“I’ve come to know Toby via Active Rain real estate blogging network and his personal blog. He’s a conscientious, ethical agent committed to delivering quality market expertise to his clients, his neighborhood and his local community. He has a professional background which brings a beneficial perspective to the real estate industry. Plus, he’s just an all-around ‘nice guy’ who cares about his profession.†November 5, 2007. Elaine Reese, Real estate agent, Realtor®, Real Living HER was with another company when working with Toby at Disbennett Real Estate Company
Elaine shares our love of dogs — her current love being Murphy — and selling real estate in central Ohio.
“Toby has been great in helping us find a place to live that we can afford and is right for us. I like to read his blog too.†May 12, 2007. Top qualities: Personable, High Integrity, Creative. Christine Bell hired Toby as a Real Estate Agent in 2007.
My favorite of all these referals. Christine and her husband are looking for the perfect house to start their new life and I’m happy to be part of it. We’ll find it! I have no doubts!
Well now that I’ve bored you to death with my “personal self-promotion” I’ll have to come up with some fun and interesting blog posts as I get out of my mourning and back into the blogging, real estate, and consistent energy game.
Thanks to all the commentors, I need it right now. I have a wonderful support structure as I work my way through the mourning process, but sometimes that little extra “umph” from someone outside that support group can really have a positive impact.
