A while ago, I did a blog on the new mascot for Active Rain, and I officially named him BLOGGIE!  Well, Bloggie met with mixed emotions....so, I gave some thought to quitting the Mortgage Business and going to Mascot School myself, and...as of now, STILL have not decided on that career path yet!  Read to the end of the blog for the ACTUAL new Mascot of Active Rain! (not approved by anyone at AR btw!)LOL Please note:   CLICK on any pictures below if you have speakers and need a laugh!

I thought about my blog long and hard since last week...I originally published it with the statement listed below, but for some, that wasnt good enough...Sooo...contrary to my thinking, I decided to pull it, or take it down.  This was VERY discouraging to me, because in the end all I was trying to do was help.  I have/had more faith in the quality of the Realtors on Active Rain than in general because everyone on here seems to WANT to learn more!~  I am even LEAVING some the comments so everyone can read the intial ones left, as I have never been … (58 comments)

tips: If you advertise it, will they come? AN OPEN question to open houses! 12 great suggestions! - 05/28/09 05:43 AM

This is a VERY interesting topic, and came up with a REALTOR I spoke to JUST last night!!  She is a 20 year Vet of the industry, and doesnt believe in OPEN HOUSES!  Well, I DISAGREE!  I have made alot of REALTOR contacts at them, customers that may not have bought that particular home, but still bought another one, and many great prospects and friends!  We need to REVERSE this attitude!  Also, and let me be loud and clear, saying something like, "well, that doesnt work in our area of the country" is ridiculous!  Prosepcting is prospecting, no matter where you live!
