ActiveRain Success Stories

"Seller found me on Active Rain. They had a very difficult estate to sell. I had the property fetures on a Reality show and then sold the estate within weeks of the show airing!"

"I've had 2 closings in December from buyers who found my website through blogs, and I have a listing from an active rain referral in the over $400k price range. I'm happy with the results."

"I am very interested to work with both buyers and sellers of small businesses to make transactions that go smoothly and where everyone wins. Everything will be done with complete CONFIDENTIALITY!"

"AR has created a great way to interact with the community of real estate professionals here. Although I've met few of my AR colleagues in person, many still feel like close friends and associates. When in conversations with clients and prospects, and the discussion leads to other parts of the country, I often find myself telling them that I have a good friend there who is in the business. AR, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world."

"My success story woulld be I am finally here. I hope to have many great things to comment on and share with you in the coming months."

"I have only been playing in the Rain for about three months now. To say 'I LOVE IT HERE' is an understatement. People are, for the most part, so warm and genuinely friendly, and I feel like I have made some true and lasting relationships. Recently I received a phone call from someone who had seen one of my posts from ActiveRain. He has many successful businesses around the State of Colorado, and he is looking to start a new business in Downtown Colorado Springs (my specialty) and was interested in a building that I had written about. We hit it off, and we met for lunch to discuss what he was looking for and what his plans were. During our conversation, he stopped and looked at me and said, "What's in it for you?" Excuse me? "Why would you do all of this stuff for me?" he asked. I told him it's what I do for a living, and it is certainly my passion to see someone like him make it, that I truly love what I do. Then I said, "Let us not lose sight of the fact that there is quite a substantial commission involved." He said, "Not enough to compensate you for all of the work that you have done so far and will do to get this thing accomplished." (Seriously, I felt like saying "Wanna BET?") But then he got a Cheshire Grin on his face and said, "I know what is going to make this worth your while. If this is as successful as I think it's going to be, can you represent me as I open up stores around the State of Colorado?" Oh, well, I guess so . . ."

"I have been on AR a number of years now. During that time I have had two clients find me via AR. Additionally, my web site gets several hits a week from AR. So, from a business side, it has been a benefit. More importantly it has also allowed me to grow and learn from other professionals, enhance my skills in marketing and electronic media and expand my basic pool of knowledfge and friends."

"An agent from the Washington DC area contacted me from my blogs on Heritage Harbour. he had a client whose Mother needed to sell her townhouse. I connected and sold her Mother's home in 3 days. She was estactic. Her Mother is now living near her so they can be closer together."

"Talk about success in AR...i have a week to prove it...3 buyers have met with me specifically because they have been reading my blogs on localism and appreciate my sharing so many things about the community that will help them find a home. They each said they had no doubt that I was the one to work with! How can that be? Let your true you in the real estate field flow out to the community and it is a win win situation for you...I can not wait to find them each a home of their dream."

"I met a realtor on AR about 4 months ago and now this RE team is the main source of my current business. I also have clients call me about things I post or clients call me because this is how they found me. Woo Hoo.... I absolutely love AR. It has allowed me to get the message out there about special financing and getting me top rating with google. I am truly impressed with the ease and layout of this blog. Thank you AR."

"No need to write a long rendition of my success with ActiveRain...! Just a simple thank you for the incredible information, networking, referrals (!), etc. Thanks!"

"Active Rain is a great networking place. I have met some great people here from around the country. Best place to network with industry professionals"

"I'm not sure I can pick just ONE success story as a result of my time on Activerain. I started blogging back in 2008. Since that time, I've met and worked with several Real Estate Agents. Even more impressive is that I was able to attract buyers, homeowners looking to refinance, and of course some other business partners such as Insurance Agents, Credit Repair Consultants, and other like-minded Mortgage Professionals. More than 70% of my income has come from blogging on Activerain. You never know which post will get the attention. I've seen it come from business and even some of the more personal posts. I'm SUPER happy that I was introduced to Activerain by a local agent and even more happy that I stuck with it to see my business continue to grow. Thank you Activerain - its members, and its staff."

"My succes story is the first of what I hope is many to come with Activerain since I am only working on about a monthas a member. I am working on a loan for a gal that is buying a home from a realtor that I have known for years but never worked with. I marketed her a little her and there but not seriously as I felt she was one of the 'untouchables". Today she called me to ask about the buyer on her home and then proceeded to ask about doing her loan for her new purchase. Now I don't know if I will get it but she said she found my contact info on Activerain. That right there showed me the power of Activerain."

"Thank you so much for visiting my Active Rain profile. Tina Smith"

"ActiveRain has made me realize the potential of connecting with other agents and consumers. There is such a wealth of information available to become a knowlegable agent."

"Just posted another Active Rain success story. Referrals from Active Rain are the best! I love having so many contacts to refer to also! Active Rain is one of those places that you remember the day you started. Kind of like when something big happens and you always remember where you were when it happened. What I have learned from the bloggers at Active Rain simply cannot be measured. I have gotten clients through various avenues that lead back to Active Rain and I sincerely do not believe I would be where I am today without having joined."

"ActiveRain will help the real estate community understand the loan programs offered and benefits of using ABC Home Lending to finance the purchase of a home."
