Where is Your Odometer? What ActiveRain Has Done For Me!!!

I recently read a post by Randy Prothero entitled Sellers Who May not Really Want to Sell in this wonderful post Randy mentions a seller that thought her home was worth more because it had an original kitchen. That got me thinking of car buffs which I am to a certain extent which made me think of how we think about our points on ActiveRain.

As I write this post my points will go over 60,000. There are a lot of posts about points not meaning anything, about how we love them and so on. When the car analogy came into my mind I started thinking of our points as a car's odometer - those of you with more points have come further down the ActiveRain road. All of us travel at different paces and we all learn a different speeds. My odometer shows I have come a ways, but it also shows I have a lot to learn.

I started to write this with the names of those that have touched me, helped me get to where I am but the list was way too long. You all know who you are and if you are reading this you are one of the people that make me a better Realtor and a better person.

ActiveRain is more than a community, more than a blogging site it is a learning tool, a marketing tool and more than any of us could put into one article.
