Me thinks realtor.org used old "data" for that consumer bit. What they don't know that we all know if AR is in constant flux, improving a little bit at a time.
If I was a consumer, this is THE place I'd come to find an agent. Where else can you browse through several thousand agents, and get a unique insight into their knowledge and personality?
It's just a matter of time.
I don't see their comment as negative. As of today I agree with it. There are only 5000 agents on ActiveRain - that's less than 1/2 of one percent nationally. Real estate is local. Why would someone who wants to buy or sell a home in Las Vegas spend their time reading blogs from all over the nation?
The latest enhancements show that ActiveRain is headed in the right direction, but we are just starting with consumer content. I'm optimistic that we'll make significant progress over the next year.
I say bring the negative comments on! In today’s world NEGATIVE COMMENTS can have a VERY POSITVE outcome. It will open people’s curiosity and they will want to check it out for themselves. So it is all good! Have you checked the stats to see an influx of people checking the site out after that post?"Consumers can access the site, but they are more likely to turn elsewhere for assistance in finding a broker to work with".
Turn elsewhere like the Yellow Pages?
Elsewhere like the Sunday Newspaper?
Elsewhere like Google?
I am amazed at how quickly Active Rain gets on Google. I have to admit my other blog is already on Google for an article I posted there on the 3rd.... blogging helps get your name out. Active Rain is teaching a lot of real estate people how to blog.
On Google already:

Not bad on the 4th.
This is great news, we just started here a few days ago and we feel this site is awesome. We can't wait to see what happens in the future.
I've always felt that any news is good news. Once the NAR article is read by more people I think more people will be curious and check AR out and then time will tell.
Thanks Jay

Active Rain will RULE THE WORLD!!
Ok, I can go a little overboard... but this site will be #1 in MANY arenas within the next year. There are too many intelligent and informative people affiliated with AR for great things not to happen.
Active Rain is great and it's just a matter of time they'll change the tune!
Matt: I think it is time for another recruiting contest. Make us ALL work to bring more participants, and reward us with...points!!!
Active Rain is good!
My broker sent out a blast asking our agents (600) in our office if they had any sucess with FB. He had just come back from the FAR convention and of course the buzz is out there. Well, of course, the results came back lukewarm. Most are not on FB, AR or anything for that matter. He said he would take another poll in 2010. Can't wait to see the results. I really did not come to AR to push my listings, like most of us. I love the exchange of info and the community spirit. Where else can you find it? Build it and they will follow. :)
