The Power Of Active Rain Is In The Power Of Sharing

2010-01-30T17:13:39Z

The Power Of Active Rain Is In The Power Of Sharing which is how Google Juice spreads the love around. We have been big fans of the Active Rain community since 2006 and the most exciting concept about this community is the way it was built on sharing. From the first time we began blogging all about our area of the world we found that Google loved putting us on the first page for real estate related terms in the towns of Bergen County, New Jersey like our hometown of Hillsdale, New Jersey.

The County we represent has many smaller towns with quaint town centers and train stations such as the town of Hillsdale (pictured here). Blogging has become a big part of our marketing as we share local content about these quaint towns with photos and information for consumers to explore.

One of the many ways this great community exhibits the power of sharing is through their contests. Fellow Active Rainer, Lisa Udy from Logan, Utah challenged the over 170,000 members to join in this powerful sharing with her The Power Of Active Rain contest. The Active Rain community is the first place we go when we are searching for referral agents. After searching for a referral agent in Grace Idaho lead Lisa Udy to stumble on the website for Grace Idaho Real Estate Agent, she decided to illustrate to others The Power Of Active Rain. Lisa developed this contest to get as many Rainers as possible to point Google to Grace Idaho Real Estate Agent.

To those who doubt the ability of this community to join forces and stimulate the search engines to point google in the intended direction, try typing in Grace Idaho Real Estate Agent. You may find yourself surprised to see that The Power Of Active Rain Is In The Power Of Sharing.

The Perks To Selling Real Estate|A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

2009-11-11T15:23:18Z

The Perks To Selling Real Estate for this Husband and Wife Realtor Team is all about the people. Many may think that there is so much money to be made in the business of real estate sales that the money must be a really great perk. However, we know the real secret is that the perk is the smiling faces we get to see when we attend the closings.

Just take a look and judge for yourselves. There is no better feeling to be had than this.

This couple was expecting their first child!

While yet another were retirees.

One couple was a Serviceman & his family.

And yes, one couple were newlyweds! Guess who?

We get to have a front row seat to some of the most important events in people's lives. It just doesn't get any better than this for us. We wouldn't trade it for the world. Look at these pictures and we're sure you would agree that these are the Perks to Selling Real Estate!

The Active Rain Voice

2009-02-20T11:25:33Z

Active Rain is my Husband's Mistress these days and I'm happy to say it. When I joined Active Rain in October of 2006, my husband, Bob, didn't really participate that much. Rainers got to know that I was the half of the HammersTeam that was doing all the blogging. Sure I ran my blogs by my husband and got his input but mostly I was the true Rainer. But Bob just didn't know he had The Active Rain Voice.

Then one day I told Bob to put up his own Profile on Active Rain and start putting his best efforts into contributing in his own words. Now I feel like that's all he wants to do. He caught the Active Rain bug and has become addicted. When he gets an idea in his head about something, I can't get his attention and I feel like Active Rain is my husband's mistress.

It's so easy to become addicted to the Active Rain network. So this post goes out to all you Rainers out there that are stll sitting on the fence about blogging. My husband Bob never thought he'd be able to do a blog and was happy to leave it to me. Now he's found The Active Rain Voice through the one thing he loves the most and that's pictures.

So go out there and find your Active Rain voice. Everybody is pationate about something. Find your passion and translate it into your own Blog. You will surely become a true Rainer in no time once you find The Active Rain Voice!

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby!

2009-02-02T14:26:04Z

Today is a very special day for me. Today is my husband, Bob's birthday so I wanted to use the Active Rain platform to say Happy Birthday to him. Many of you know Bob through Active Rain and I would just love it if as many of you as possible could wish him a Happy Birthday! Heck even if you don't know him it would be great if you would do that for me. We both feel like we've made so many friends here in the Rain and what better way to spend a birthday than with friends!

Bob and I have known each other since High School and although we didn't get married until many years after High School, I always knew he was a great guy. Now any happily married couple will tell you that things are not always perfect. But there is nobody I would rather have in my corner than my husband Bob!

Yes, we are a husband and wife realtor team as many others of you are here in the Rain and we think it's great. We each have our own special talents that we bring to the team concept and that just makes things run all the more smoothly for our customers.

With all the sad news there is in the press about the state of the real estate world right now I just wanted to say something light and cheerful as Happy, Happy Birthday Baby! You're still the Best!
