Thankful For ActiveRain
As I reflect on the year gone by and consider my blessings I realize how Thankful I am for ActiveRain. When first signing on some 16 months ago I thought ok I’ll give this AR blogging thing a try but truthfully I had my doubts and my ambition was lacking. After lurking about for a while I finally took the plunge, wrote my first blog article and I haven’t looked back since.Thanks to AR for providing sound advice by top notch staff, teachers, mentors and fellow bloggers. I have risen in the eyes of the Google lords which … (79 comments)

ActiveRain Connection At 35,000 Feet
While my wife Debbie was flying back east last week she noticed her flight mate seemed a bit down and out. Of course Debbie being the conversationalist she leaned over asked if the young woman was okay. She expressed that she was but had endured a long day with flights being delayed etc. The conversation quickly progressed to what they do for a living. My wife explained we are in real estate, owning and operating Albuquerque Homes Realty.
Her new flight friend told her they were thinking of selling a Huntsville Alabama home. Debbie said, … (131 comments)

ActiveRain Etiquette DilemmaI hope you understand my ActiveRain etiquette dilemma. Personally I have always believed it is very import to reply to comments left on my posts. It’s like having a two sided conversation and a way to acknowledge that the comments have been read. In the past you know I typically responded to each comment. I always read each and every comment on every single post and greatly appreciate them all. With the real estate tides turning and being more on the run with business I have found myself in an ActiveRain etiquette dilemma. There just doesn’t seem to be … (134 comments)

Do you share ActiveRain comments with your clients?
When you advertise your home listings on AR do you share ActiveRain comments with your clients? We email listing clients links to all marketing that their home is placed on so they can actually see and know I am working (hard) for them. I’m not lazy and just tossing one photo and a couple of sentences on the MLS and calling it good. I am pushing their home as hard and as far online as possible. As Realtors we know and do our best to educate our home sellers that … (74 comments)
