Raised My Visibility Using Active Rain... In Just 15 Days and 5000 Points - 03/28/08 01:38 PM
I wouldn't have believed it but I've gone from being nearly invisible to visible on the web in just 15 days and 5000 points. I've followed Active Rain for awhile but I was always hesitant about joining because it looked so overwhelming to me. Two weeks ago last Thursday I finally said the heck with it, I'm goin' in, and what a difference that short period of time made.
Here's what happened; I started reorganizing, restructuring, redesigning my business and wanted the Internet to be a big part of it. 80% of buyers and/or sellers start their search for a home … (60 comments)

Text Talk - 03/18/08 04:01 PM

Think Green... it's St. Patty's Day - 03/17/08 11:46 AM
On St. Patty's day we're all a little Irish and wear some green and it's a good opportunity to remind ourselves to also Think Green. In the real estate industry we owe it to ourselves and our customers/clients to be somewhat knowledgeable about the green factor and it's effects. There is a wealth of information at our disposal about green; green building, green remodeling, green appliances, green, green, green, even green Energy-Efficient Mortgages.
There's not any green grass here in the Fox Cities, but there is more and more talk about green and there are becoming more and more builders taking action.

Now I'm Blogging! - 03/13/08 06:10 PM
I took the leap of faith and now I'm blogging. I admit it, it's my first time.
