"Active Rain allows me to learn from others throughout the country on topics relevant to NOW. Reap the benefits of knowledge and different markets while enjoying the interaction."

"Since joining in 2008 and participating in Activerain blogging, our internet real estate leads have dramatically increased! Activerain blog articles have also increased our real estate knowledge base."

"My ActiveRain success story is a little different from most. I can't brag about how much new business I have or how many deals I have closed because of blogging on this site. However, ActiveRain is a fantasic source of information, information from diverse number of users. I learn something new almost every time I login. Mining the gold nuggets from AR has made elements of my real estate business more efficient. Thank you AR you mean the world to me."

"A few years ago, I was getting practically no online response. I had a website, but it was not being found by people. In April 2007 I became involved with Active Rain. By working diligently, and with a method, I have been able to increase my online business to 30% of total revenues. In addition to that, I have great search engine optimization and I write informative blog posts that I can direct my clients to. Active Rain has made a huge difference to my business and I have nothing but positive things to say about the Active Rain community."

"The blogs and real estate opinions are invaluable. On more than one occasion we have referred a client to a pertinent blog posting and it has aided us in helping them with their particular problem or challenge."

"I <3 ActiveRain! Success story coming soon, when I have reached success =)"

"I just received my 4th referral from Active Rain this past weekend! Thank you Active Rain!"

"Thank you to all of my asset managers that have kept me alive in this wonderful field. Can't wait to see what 2010 brings. Happy Holidays."

"Listing and completing the sale of the beautiful "Millwood on the Bay" in Gloucester, last month. This was a milestone in, not only, personal satisfaction but the compliation of a dream and a reality in my real estate career. The care and consideration of the seller all the involvements of contractors and personnel involved in the care of Millwood making a smooth transition to the new buyers was a moumental feat and provided new challenges daily. I was fortunate to work with a buyers agent whose professionalism set the bar for a new era of cooperation and whose communication, often daily, set new standards. This sale, was a team effort, bringing together buyer and seller in a new venue. It was exciting, and the completion of this goal was a positive exercise in these times of new expectations in a complicated financial and personal time. Constantly learning from the current marketplace and adapting to the current financial situation for all clients."

"I receive more contacts from Active Rain than any other directory where I am listed!"

"I view my success by how I am able to help people with one of the most important financial decisions in their life."

"Trying to find time to blog about two closings - Friday and Saturday. Both buyers made offers as a result of my vacation series. Both listings were mine. One of the buyers was as well. The other buyer called his existing agent after seeing my post on the property...."

"I have been blessed to be on Active Rain for only about 5 months. I have had ONE feature article, and hoping for more! I have made 16 phenomonal contacts and was invited to be in a small group of "Evil Mortgage Geniuses" that has been extremely helpful and informative! I enjoy the fact that when I have do have a question, I can post it, and get a TON of feedback! AR is almost like therapy for the realestate soul! D NEW UPDATE: 6-10-09....I have added 4 new Realtors to my "sphere of influence" thanks to Active Rain. I am starting to see the referrals rolling in now...and my blogging is becoming more popular every day! As of this date, I now have had 4 features, been in the Newsletter twice, and actually in the Member Spotlight within the last week! I am happy, proud & excited at the vast benefits AR has offered me! Thank you! Oh, and in case you were wondering...it's so easy , a caveman can do it!! :) 6-11-09 Just received my first of 2 Offer to Purchases from a NEW Realtor contact I made on ACTIVE RAIN! I NEVER would have had this lead without Active Rain! In addition, to solidify the relationship, I was able to give them a buyer RIGHT BACK that I ALSO HAD RECEIVED on Active Rain! WOW...What a win win!!- Bucky 7-31-09 Due to my bloggin on Active Rain, today, I was contacted by a Realtor (part timer) in Texas. She said she appreciated my no-nonsense approach, and thought one of my comments in a blog was hilarious, so she contacted me with questions about lender, credit repair and the like! Anyway, great conversation that I never would have had without Active Rain! Even though we are not licensed in Texas, it is nice to know we can bond as a community and help each other WITHOUT the pressure of working directly together only for monetary gain! - Love it! - darin aka: Bucky"

"I have been a member of ActiveRain for about a year now. I just recently became an active blogger and just in the last week have received 2 referrals and 1 property contact. But my success story lies in the friends and contacts I have made with other Real Estate Professionals all over the country. I have learned more from reading others' blogs than I ever learned in school. Thank You ActiveRain!"

"2009 has been a great year for Lake Wylie Home Staging! I've assisted many sellers whose properties were on the market vacant for several months unsold, but after staging with my NEW upscale furnishings went under contract within 2 to 6 weeks!"

"During this 2009 year, as President-Elect for the Las Cruces Association of Realtors, I have attended the NAR Mid-Year Legislative Meeting in D.C., the NAR Leadership Summitt in Chicago and the NAR Convention and Expo in San Diego. All the sessions, meetings and education classes were great! BUT the best part of everything is meeting and exchanging ideas with REALTORS from other areas including the International REALTORS."
