RainIt's easy to write, right? That's why so many of us are here ~ to write and share and learn and interact with people who are in our line of business, with whom we have much in common.

A little more than two years ago, I started writing on ActiveRain. Business was slow and I had never written much and I found that I really liked the interaction, the camaraderie, the people, the lessons. So I dove in and joined the party.

I interacted enough that referrals started coming in. I interacted enough that people started finding me online. I interacted enough that business got so busy that there weren't enough hours in the day to sit down, much less to write a blog post.

After what seemed like months of being away from writing, a Newbie-sort of fear overcame me - What will I write about? How do you do this? Is the gang still here? Where do I start? Then the phone would ring and I would get distracted and it would be several days before I was back to wondering which of the stories I wanted to tell.

But the overriding motivation to keep coming back is ~ I MISS YOU GUYS! Not only are you like family, we have much in common. There is so much to learn, and I want to be here! And this is something that I don't want to give up on!

Of the eight deals I have closed in the past two months, five of them were a direct result of ActiveRain. Of the six that I currently have Under Contract, three are a direct result of ActiveRain. So I've found my umbrella and I'm heading home.

If you are Buying a home, most people feel as though their Agent gets paid for showing them houses. Whether we show you one house or four dozen, it has no impact on what we are being paid for. If you are a Seller, many believe that the real… more

For many, many years, it never occurred to me to ask for testimonials from satisfied clients. When I finally DID start asking, I wondered what it is we are looking for in our clients' responses. Sugary phrases that mean nothing but 'blah blah blah'… more
