It rained all afternoon today, which meant zero property showings, but that's okay, because I've already arranged to make up for it this weekend.

However, I did accomplish one thing today, other than do some property research for some of my investor clients. I formed a strategic co-branding relationship with VanLines.com.

From my personal webpage on VanLines.com's website someone who is living in say, Vermont, or elsewhere, and plans on moving to Florida's Tampa Bay area in the near future can simply click on my link on VanLines.com's website and arrange to have all their moving and real estate needs taken care of at the same time, from one place. Adding this to the mortgage and other services that our office already offers gives my clients the opportunity to get everything taken care of all at once, in practically the same place.

One stop shopping is always a nice convenience to offer, especially to your clients who are relocating, since they've often got their hands as full as they want them to be, already, with packing and getting ready to move. It may give your clients more time to spend time with the kids, take note of their move on their blog or get those final boxes packed for the big move ahead.
