"Gor an excellent Property Management referral from an agent in Sacramento, CA. I am now managing our client's property in Sugar Land, TX."

"Hi Debra! Riley and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you've done in helping us find the perfect new home! We really appreciate your help, great advice, and your patience with us while we sorted through this challenging process. We wouldn't have had such a great experience without your expert guidance, and we just wanted to let you know how much your efforts and dedicated hard work meant to us. Thanks for everything! Dianne & Riley Abshire "Never delt with a more professional caring realtor than Debra. She handle my home as if it were her that was buying it. She was there for me 24 7 answered all my emails promptly and could get a hold of her with any questions I had at anytime. Made the process of buying a home a lot less stressful than it already is I would never recomend another realtor again besides Debra. A±" Matt Thu Oct 28"

"When I was first introduced to Real Estate I was a single mom trying to figure out what I can do for a living that would alow me flexability to be there for my kids, I got a job as an assistant to a wonderful realtor and decided that I wanted to be a realtor as well. Within a few short years we bought a small real estate office in Fort Langley with one realtor on the roster, we now have 14 and I have become the managing broker. I enjoy every aspect of this industry and worked very hard to get where I am today, anyone buying or selling should value the hard work that us realtors put in to become a trusted advisor in their purchase and sale."

"ActiveRain has allowed me to share my knowledge of the home buying and selling process and to allow the internet consumer access to FREE information!"

"Since being a part of Active Rain, I am fortunate enough to have made numerous contacts with agents, brokers, home inspectors, mortgage brokers, home stagers and more. I now have new friendships with others from Massachusetts and around the US. As my blog has gained exposure within the local Plymouth market, it has translated into my being considered an innovative expert in my field with an inventive online presence."

"I recently attended RainCamp in Charlotte, NC, and I will be the first to tell you that it was DEFINITELY worth the travel arrangements from Atlanta to get there. Ben Kinney offers a wealth of knowledge in one power-packed day of providing you with step-by-step instructions for implementing the latest techniques and strategies that can immediately generate more leads and help grow your business. In addition, I loved meeting the Active Rain staff. They are a great bunch of people, who truly care about their AR community, and are willing to help you out wherever you are at. I highly recommend getting involved and attending a RainCamp!"

"I really did not think much of Active Rain until I had an opportunity to spend time with a colleague, an outstanding and very successful individual, Debe Maxwell. I am so looking forward to becoming actively involved with AR and to make many new acquaintances and new business. Blogging is all so new to me, but I have a passion for what I do, therefore I will look forward to expressing my thoughts through blogging, especially on AR."

"I switched to an ActiveRain outside blog several months ago after a totally positive AR experience and Brad Andersohn's hands on assistance. (And Thank You once again Brad for being so patient!) I find this platform to be: -simple (nothing new to learn, just click outside blog and away we go) - clean (I get compliments on the appearance often) -EFFECTIVE (now pay attention!) My outside blog has brought me TWO CLOSED SALES and today I was just contacted by a first time home buyer who read one of my first time homebuyer stories and wants to hire me. She sent me a great email that included: "Hi Lesley! I stumbled upon your blog about adventures in the day of a life of a buyer’s agent when googling “buyers agent” Springfield , Ma. I am a young healthcare professional looking to perhaps buy a condo, and I like your sense of humor, so I figured I’d drop you a line..." OK so let me get this straight: She wants to buy a house. She is asking me to help. She thinks I am funny AND then... She follows me on Facebook and Twitter. CAN YOU ALL HEAR THAT? IT IS THE SOCIAL MEDIA REAL ESTATE ANGELS SINGING! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh such a lovely note Here is the thing....I spent my "quiet winter time" (read no sales) gambling on social media. I read AR blog after blog and asked for help from twitterfriends and anyone that knew a thing about SEO. I created three new blogs and started writing regularly. I wasn't getting paid and no one at my office knows what a blog is, never mind the rest. I put it out there on a hunch that I would reap the rewards and HOT DIGGETY! I WAS RIGHT! So, thank you ActiveRain, but especially the members, for your generosity of spirit and your willingness to be fresh and new. What I have learned on AR is changing my life exponetially (another blog here about personal growth too!) and I cannot wait to see what happens as I continue this exciting journey!"

"“There is no such thing as a bad situation … every situation can be ruled to into a great one... “- Raman You know some famous guy once said “To travel is better than to arrive.” … I use to think there was only one path to get to where you want to be in life. But if you choose that one path, it doesn’t mean you have to abandon all the other ones. I realize that it is actually what happens along the way that counts; the stumbles, the falls and the friendships. It’s the journey, not the destination. You just got to trust that the people and the future will work itself out like it’s supposed to. The success story in this case is... to just live life to the fullest and do what you think is right."
