What is ActiveRain? ..... THIS is ActiveRain!

Our founder, Jonathan Washburn asked a question the the other week on his post  What is ActiveRain? I went back there a few mornings later to see if he responded to my question about coming back to tell us all how wonderful ‘we' are. And he did.

Because of Jon and his staff's involvement with the community I have remained a loyal member on ActiveRain since March of 2007.  It made a difference to have them interact with us on a daily basis. It made a difference that they cared and took into consideration when I had a concern. It made a difference that I just wasn't a number here.

Then I read William Johnson's post A True Friend is a "Work of Heart".  It was about his experience ‘growing up' with ActiveRain and the excitement of getting his first comments and how he kept coming back for more. And his statement about our friendship that blossomed from being here on ActiveRain.....

"It was an instant real friendship and I could not guess the number of hours of phone time we have spent since then building one of the most amazing friendships of my entire life." My eyes watered.

It's meeting other ActiveRain members who are professionals in the Real Estate Industry and how we connect here on a larger plane than just .....real estate.

It's the friendships formed with other real estate industry professionals is what matters. It's what makes this a unique real estate network.  It's the constant communication with the staff ....like  Bob Stewart does.... that has made this a quality network and the time I've invested ....truly worthwhile.
