By now, you know that RRNetwork’s ‘Contractor Referral List’ is the MOST POPULAR section of this website. And even though we update the list several times a month, we like to do so in a formal meeting annually. So, here’s your chance to spread the news about your favorite service providers.

Remember, businesses will only be posted when recommended by an active RRN member. Bring your people’s contact info to our Coffee Session on 3/10, and promote to the group. Then, we’ll post these businesses to RRN’s Contractor Referral List. 

And thanks to those of you who have advised which businesses to remove from the list — these updates also needed.

(As always, do bring news about your LISTINGS and BUYERS’ Needs, to share.)

Reporting live from Ticor’s ‘Short Sales’ Training, Wallingford.  Here’s a live report from my colleague Ryan Kalalau, Ticor Title. 

“Cassandra, a wonderful FedEx employee and the driver for the 45th St Route in Seattle, saved Ticor Title Company and Mortgage Resolution Services.

We have a Short Sale certification class today in Seattle.  There was a delivery miscommunication about when the study guides were to arrive. Long story short, Cassandra went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver the study guides two hours ahead of when her dispatcher said she could.

Thank you FedEx and thank you Cassandra!”

Ryan didn’t mention here: the sprint down N 45th Street, where he and Christopher Rockey, our trainer, ran down the FED EXP truck. Nice work Gentlemen! 

Also our thanks to meeting hosts, Keller Williams, Greater Seattle. We appreciate the use of their top notch training facilities.
