"Charlotte is an entrepreneur at heart. It started at the age of six when she sold homemade greeting cards to neighbors and “circus” tickets to her backyard show. It has progressed from babysitting and selling lemonade to owning a restaurant. Now Charlotte is excited to be working with her passion: real estate. Charlotte’s love for real estate started when she was 20 and purchased her first home to flip. She has lived in Rocklin, Sacramento, Granite Bay, Serrano in El Dorado Hills, Gold River and Fair Oaks. Living in so many suburbs and raising her children locally has provided Charlotte with an immense knowledge of the greater Sacramento area. Charlotte is passionate about the areas she lives and works in. She volunteers in the neighborhood and at her children’s school, always chooses paper over plastic, carpools when she can and shops locally. Coming from a family with four children (she was 3rd out of 4), Charlotte was a born negotiator. She had to fight for what she wanted, especially with two brothers! Running a restaurant has taught her how to work efficiently and effectively, and she carries these traits with her to the real estate industry. Charlotte works hard to get you the best deal possible while maintaining a win-win situation for both parties. When you work with Charlotte, you can be confident that she has your best interest at heart. She works creatively to get the deal secured for you, effectively to keep the deal together and efficiently to earn the greatest return for you. Charlotte is a business woman and your bottom line is her top priority! She looks forward to making your next real estate deal a success for you!"

"Who knew that I could get a free masters degree in online marketing? I can't believe that I spent hundreds of dollars on marketing training and books, when I could have received even more information on Active Rain! If only I had been introduced to it earlier. Oh yeah... I was, I was just too dense to really take the time to learn about all that it had to offer. Active Rain is like having the answers to the universe (ok, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic) at your fingertips, but you'll never know unless you let your fingers do the walking... on your keyboard. Seriously though- I've learned more about online marketing from Active Rain, than from any other resource out there, including: how to be found by consumers online, how to get first page results & how to thrive in a down market. And the best part about it is.... it's FREE and the other Active Rain community members are some of the most generous, selfless people that you could ever hope to meet! Thanks Active Rain!!!!!"

"Active Rain is the First Portal that we've used for advertising when we started in 2006! We've developed many lasting and wonderful relationships with Realtors, as they see the magic of working together getting a house from sale to Sold! The agents provide their expertise in getting these homes sold, and we provide the Staging tools to presenting a house from ok to phenomenal! Check us out at www.StageUsNow.com! or call 360 666-9461 Active Rain has been my SEO since I joined in 2006. I love home Staging, and I love the exposure that Active Rain gives to me through the internet!"

"I am looking forward to receiving my first ActiveRain real estate referral. My team sells real estate in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta."

"I joined Active Rain almost 3 years ago now. At first I kind of read posts and didn't visit all that often. Then one day I decided to write a post. It came fairly easy and I really enjoyed it. One of the first people to comment on my post was Carole Provenzale, a Feng Shui consultant from Long Island. Over the past 2 1/2 years she and I have become the best of friends, a forever friend, as I call them. I also met Tom Braatz this way and he is another of my 'forever friends'. These two friendships have been the best part of my Active Rain success story. They are there with me through thick and thin and I know they always will be, as I will be for them. The next part of Active Rain that has rewarded me greatly is the huge accumulation of knowledge. I've learned more here than I have in all of my real estate courses that I have ever taken in 14 years of doing real estate. It's just amazing what you can find here. The third part of Active Rain that has been of great value to me is the referrals and new clients that have found me through my Active Rain blog. Once I write a post, it is free advertising for me forever more. My posts have generated many new clients for me from all part of the world and many of them have become very good friends. I could go on and on, however I think you now get the picture....you just can't put a value on Active Rain."

"Through my affiliation with ActiveRain I have had the privilege of receiving many referrals, I have met many other real estate professionals committed to providing the exceptional customer service I have made part of my business practice, and I have benefited from the many articles, suggestions, marketing and web tools provided by ActiveRain and the other professionals associated with this wonderful website."

"I am new to AcitveRain and hope to have a story to post soon!"

"Looking back on my 3rd ActiveRain year now, my success comes from knowing everyday there is a community of amazing professionals who are dedicated to this profession and to helping each other thrive in this new landscape of real estate. Words cannot express how being part of this community has changed my knowledge, attitude, spirit, dedication and commitment to making a difference. The new friends I have made by commenting and blogging are priceless. My day now begins and ends with a log on to Active Rain."

"Active Rain has helped me increase my google page rank and get first page placement. Active Rain has provided me with a vehicle to interact with the public in a more intimate and personal way. I recommend Active Rain to everyone in the industry who wishes added exposure. I am greatful for all the wonderful things that have been shared by other Active Rainers."
