ActiveRain Success Stories

"Due to a chemical dependency, Linda's daughter was unable to care for her children. Linda stepped up to the responsibility but ended up spending her retirement savings in the process. A reverse mortgage got her the cash to enjoy life in her retirement years."

"I have been on ActiveRain for about 2 weeks as of now 4-3-09 and it has been an incredible source of information, I also enjoy my share of bloging. One thing that really amazed me was to see where I show up on the search engines. Update 12/22/09 Although at this time I am not a RainMaker I have still managed to make some local connections thanks to Active Rain."

"I recently started on the ActiveRain site. I enjoy the opportunity to blog and learn about blogging and contact and especially enjoy the ability to comment and blog with other real estate agents..

"An out of town client reviewed my profile and picked me as his agent. It was another happy closing!"

"Yea - my first business referral from ActiveRain. A few weeks ago I posted a blog Listening to Other ActiveRainers on Marketing and talked about being in front of your prospects. Several ideas were discussed and sending a personal note was just one of the ideas. JoAnn from Tarbell Realtors mentioned that she liked the idea of following up with cards. After sending her a card and then subsequently following up with her, she is now a SendOutCards customer and loving it. She particularly liked the idea of creating a font from her handwriting and the ability to use her own signature. Thank you ActiveRain for providing a forum where real estate professionals and related businesses can openly express ideas. I have learned so much from others blogs and suggestions. Keep up the good work!"
