Every day...more and more...I am finding that conventional sources of Real Estate data are not current or accurate. Some take data and repeat it not realizing the harm that they contribute due to misinformation. Not so on ActiveRain.....live reporting, sharing and exchange...rules the day

TAKE TWO ACTIVERAIN'S AND........CALL ME IN THE MORNING

Real Estate reporting, the sharing of data and the prediction of future events and trends is normal operating procedure in the Real Estate business. Mere conversation to pass the day is not what today's, "in the trenches"..... professionals crave or support.

WE NEED TO GO LIVE TO GET LIVE.......DATA THAT IS

We need fresh data for an industry that is alive and constantly changing in many areas. Real Estate is a vast community of ideas, subjects, expertise's, knowledge, experiences. We need live current data. It can be compared to fish just caught. When it is fresh, it is at its peak. Anything after peak.....is not sufficient for the seafood lover...

THE EDUCATION BEGINS.....WHEN YOU LOG-IN

So it is with ActiveRain....Fresh Real Estate fish out of the water and into your plate. You then satisfy yourself until full. I require no less and...... my clients require no less from me. Often, my clients will read something or be told something and believe it. However, they then come to me for my opinion. Bear in mind that after 30 plus years in the business, reading variable sources on the subject and now Active on ActiveRain, my opinion and the opinion of my like kind tend to professional in nature.

CALL YOUR NEXT WITNESS......COUNSEL

If there ever was a definition of an expert witness, what else could it be than someone who is and has been practicing, experiencing and current in the related field successfully over a period of time? Some of the people who frequent ActiveRain are very impressive mover & shakers.

SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND...........ANYTHING

I do not have all the answers. Far from it...but I know how to go about getting answers and protecting myself and my clients along the way. The cutting edge of this business is where I hang out and I require no less than a premium source to meet my needs and the needs of my clients........ENTER ACTIVERAIN...its members and their valued and sought after professional opinions.

The medical, the legal, the airlines, the auto industry, the engineering community, the various hobbies all have their source of information and enjoyment....

ACTIVERAIN....is the premium choice for the practicing Real Estate professional

I only wish that their would be a Pre-K course on technology and social media, as 101 is even more advanced than I can handle,  so I can pick up on it much easier.

Richie - One thing I know; if something important is happening in the real estate industry that is important to our business, I will find out about it here first, on Active Rain.  The learning and discussions that happen here far exceed the value of any continuing education course that I have ever taken. And it all happens on my schedule, my convenience, and I can pick and choose those areas that are most relevant to my day-to-day business.  Have a Blessed Day my friend!

Richie,  Nicely said.  There are so many benefits to being part of the ActiveRain Community it would be hard to make a list for me.  Blogging and interacting with the many stellar professionals truly gave me my "voice" back and energized my admittedly flagging passion for the mortgage industry....my career are really in "depression mode" and ActiveRain certainly became the healthiest anti-depressant on the the market.  The wealth of technical knowledge that is freely shared is priceless (okay, perhaps not priceless....there are any number of companies willing to take a lot of my bucks to increase my SEO!...here I get it for the taking!).  Not meant as pandering to the audience, but I truly believe some of the best of the best (in all branches of the real estate process) are active here...and I get to share and experience their authenticity at my leisure and in my bunny slippers.

I actually find it rather interesting when loan officers and real estate agents respond to my invitation to join AR with "I want to develop my online presence but I have no interest in talking to others in my field."  I am very grateful that I found ActiveRain.

Richie, we are getting information faster these days, no doubt about it, and a blogging network is certainly a resource for us all to increase that speed.
