Thank you ActiveRain

 

 

RainCamp was a  success!
It was packed with more information that I expected and my posts form this point on will reflect what I learned from them.

I met so many people finally  and it was like meeting old friends. . .it was fantastic!

ActiveRain has been my partner and family for the last 2+ years and a solid platform for my business.

Let's be frank. . 


Active Rain is the perfect vehicle for those who wish to accomplish a new level in business with  their own practice.
Why?
Because everything has changed for us and the way we do business. . .
Gone are the days where a simple door knock or a postcard would give us the business to bring food to our tables. .

Activerain represents the road to the future for all of us and it that is apparent every single day.  .

The real estate agent of the future will be socially connected to hundred and maybe thousands of people. They will start farming them with information, value and programs to get them to interact with one another.

Real Estate has changed my friends. . . you better embrace it !

Attending RainCamp should be a priority for you if you never attended one. . .

Thank you ActiveRain for being my partner in business.

Fernando, thanks for sharing your insights. I've just ordered my copy of Crush It as a result of reading this, after hearing that it was the book to get for months.

I hear so many regrets for Agents not being able to attend.  We know about these things for at least a month in advance.  What happened to penciling in the important stuff and scheduling our business around it?  All I am saying is this, if you really wanted to be there you would be! Make the commitment!

Fernando, unfortunately I didn't have a chance to talk much at all, but it was still nice to see the face in person, including the vest.

It was nice to meet you very briefly at Rain Camp. I agree with your line that our whole business has changed and this is the correct vehicle for those changes.

What up Fernando! I saw you a couple of times but I was talking to Lewis Poretz. Maybe next time. Have to make attending Raincamps a must every year from now on. Loved the energy in the room. Great post.

Fernando, Active Rain is simply the BEST thing I have done in my real estate career. Everything else I have tried pales in comparison.

Fernando - I'm glad you were able to go and get so much out of of it.  Some people wonder why I've been to 3, but I always seem to take something away, even if it's nothing more than remembering there's something new I need to add to my business plan.
