100,000 Points Later and Still Learning and Loving Active Rain!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty - 904-673-2308

The Race for 100,000 Points on Active RainIt's finally here! 100,000 points!!!!!!!!!

Last summer when the loss of a $500,000 deal jogged me into the importance of blogging, the idea of 100,000 points seemed so remote. I was just trying for the first 10,000!

For me, Active Rain is the single best investment I have made in my real estate career. I loved my GRI training, my ABR training, my CDPE training, my Mark Leader training, Steve Woodruff training, and all the other seminars, etc.,

BUT being here in the Rain has broadened my horizons as to how real estate is evolving and how to be a part of it in a way that nothing else even comes close to.

Where else can you find top professionals who are so willing to share freely their expertise and tips?

THANK YOU Active Rain for the vision to create this community.
THANK YOU Active Rain members who have become my online friends and some who I have actually met in person.

What a great way to start the week!

100,000 Points on Active Rain

Congratulations!

I've just started here, and that number seems like such a distant future for me! Can't wait until I can say the same!

Congratulations on your success and achievement.  I have had some transition in my life and now worked as hard as I should, 100,000 points seem so far away.

Good job!  I'm pushing 50,000 -- love those milestones.  Yes, I too have used the blog-o-sphere to vent, bounce ideas, read others' problems/vents, felt the camaraderie and it's so much more then points . . . although I like the pints points.

Kim, I can't wait to read your milestone post!

Jason, thanks. I am uber-excited!

April, you will, just keep commenting and writing. It will happen!

Missy, I didn't think it was possible, but I never gave up and you're right, it is easier now than it was in the beginning.

Rebecca, I felt the same you did a year ago. Many people achieve 100,000 much faster than I did, but it was the right pace for me.

Mortgage Finders, we'll all celebrate your milestone!

Christine, life comes first. The time will be right and you will be celebrating with us!

Carla, congrats on pushing 50,000! Blogging is better than therapy! therapy!

Hey, Frank & Sharon - Congratulations! You'll find that the more points you get, the easier it is to get more points. It's a cool system.

Here's a little something for the two of you (sorry I can't deliver them in person; use the mouseover):
