Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain, Community Manager

What a week!  RainCamp Boston was absolutely amazing with so many great members in attendance.  Another treat was having two ActiveRainers stop by Headquarters on Wednesday.  Also getting ready for RainCamp San Diego next week.  We are unstoppable!!! :)

The successes this week are attainable by any one of you.  I hope they inspire you to push yourself!

Scroll down until you see the spot designated for your ActiveRain Success Story.  Keep in mind this will not show on your AR profile but will be available to view on the ActiveRain Success Stories link located on our home page.  Not only are all the cool kids doing it but you'll be awarded 500 points!!!

"Joining ActiveRain was one of the best marketing moves I ever made. It has given me exposure to the market with little cost. In fact, shortly after joining I received a referral to a buyer who wanted to purchase a home in the $350-400,000 price range which is pretty good for our area. Thank you ActiveRain for being there."

 

Chris Hooks, Salem County, NJ Realtor,  Broker Associate (Coldwell Banker Pino Agency): Real Estate Agent in  Pennsville, NJ Chris Hooks (Coldwell Banker)
"In 2009, just three months after beginning to actively participate on Active Rain, I received a listing from a fellow licensed agent who was located in the midwest part of the country. The family wanted to hire a friend of the family, but she insisted on hiring me after viewing my information here on AR."

"Since Joining active Rain I have received numerous leads on-line. Active rain enabled me to get noticed on Google and bring visitors to my website. Blogging and social media is the best way to get business in the 21st century."

"Active Rain has been a HUGE success to our business! It's significantly increased our internet presence. As a result, we've been contacted by sellers for assistance with selling short sales and successfully helped homeowners avoid foreclosure. These leads are a bonus to our business. More importantly, it's the knowledge learned from the Active Rain members that has helped us in all facets of the real estate business."

Kerrie... again, some good success stories. I finally did mine last week and yes, I got my 500 points.  Mine was so long, I was hoping for a million points... lol  Seriously, thanks for putting this together.  Hopefully it encourages new people to step up as a 'Rainmaker'.

Kerrie,

I still have to write my AR success story, and I have had a few, thank you very much! In fact, when I got home from RainCamp, I had three new contacts, and they were directly related to my AR blog.

It was great to meet you in Boston. AR is very lucky to have you on their team. Keep on doing what you do so well. I hope we cross paths again soon.

Congrats everyone! We just cleared our 100,000 point mark and can't wait to clear the next 100k. I know, I know... The points shouldn't matter, but I love 'em, and strangely enough so does my business flow! See you at 200,000!

So when is the RainCamp in Honolulu happening?  It would be great in December, while everyone else is under snow.
