Wow!! Congratulations to Damion Flynn of SimplySOLD® Viking Realty

Services for Real Estate Pros with NOW Sharing the life and spice of the GC one day at a time

 Note: I had no idea if Damion, or, Jeff would let you guys know about this honor. I thought you should know. Blogging and Active Rain are specifically plugged in this article. I could have made one post and placed them side by side, but it seemed to me that each deserves his own round of applause.  

 Credit where Credit is due!

The Mississippi Association of REALTORS provides a quarterly high quality magazine to members. I was "readin' and relaxin' when I spotted a spread highlighting Damion Flynn.

The title of the article is: Plugged in and Turned on: REALTORS for the Next Generation , by Tracee Walker

I checked at the MARS website and it is not linkable yet. Following are some quotes from the article: 

"...For REALTORS who are ready to get their feet wet in the technology arena, Flynn says, "internet sites such as ActiveRain.com are great ways to get started in the blogging arena, but it is important to make sure you are careful of what you post. The Internet is a powerful place and misstating one thing can make it very difficult for you. All things considered, blogging is probably the easiest and most beneficial to start off with."

Damion should know with 100 transactions in a year, with about 75% of them quoted as being Internet leads. That explains why you haven't posted much lately, you've been busy!

Congratulations, Damion. I wish I had started in Real Estate at your age. And Thanks for taking time to Mentor this 50 something REALTOR/Broker from time to time.

Hi Suzi, it's great that you gave Damion applause here. I miss his blogging too but yes it does sound like he is busy!  Cool post thanks!

Carole, thinks for stopping by. I still have not met Damion, but I am proud of his achievments. We have joked around about working together. I know I could learn a lot from him in many respects, still...it wouldn't be me. Back to Damion--this is a great photo of him! Kudos to the MARS photographer. Hey, are we nutty for being up and posting at this time? 3:02 AM.

I posted one other A/R Blogger that made the cover. Truth be told, I am a little envious. But they deserve every bit of recognition they get. You have to work hard for recognition. Plus, a major point in bringing Damion and Jeff's recognition by MAR to AR is to encourage other bloggers. When you first start it seems like forever before you make a dent in the cyber world. Its like bread on the water, sowing seed. You do it, do it some more, keep doing it--then, Holy Cow you start getting contacts from buyers and sellers. (and recognition and encouragement from peers:-)

Okay, back to bed at 3:40AM, up at 6AM (maybe 7)

Hey, Jeff and Damion are probably sleeping right now...I wonder if they will find they've been talked about?

Jackie, I am so frustrated. I, too need some tech help. Sometimes I can get really bogged down trying to figure out how to do something--like add all the cool stuff to the side of our blog. Is that what a widget does? :-)

Damion, I think it arrived in my Real, hard copy mailbox Saturday. Its a great article and you look really slick. I think you can use this shot for your AR picture. I figured out how, but I know you know how to do it better :-)
