Active Rain has become the sounding board for realtor frustration.

Thank you active rain. Active rain has become a place where realtors and people in the real estate industry can come and get their frustrations off their chest. I don't know if that is what it was intended for but this is what its become. I for one like coming on and reading the blogs from everyone.

I also like the fact that active rain is nationwide and we can find out what the market is doing in other areas. We can also find out what other realtors are doing in other area and how they are doing it. So, lets keep blogging and letting each other know how the different market areas are doing. Im sure that there are some area in the country that are keeping their heads above water.

I wrote another blog today about all the negativity that media keeps airing on television and printing in the newpapers and how negative it makes the people we have to deal with. They come with all these negatives and then tell you how the real estate market is like they have become the professionals. They believe all the stuff they see on television and read in the paper and now they know it all. If you try to tell them different then your an idiot for trying to see the good in the market. 

Unless we change their perspective through the positives of this market the doom&gloomers will have their way with the glass being half empty instead of as I and hope all of you see it as half full.

I think it's important that WE be positive in attitude, spirit, and what we blog.  AR must not become a place to vent, rant, and complain.  I will do my part.

I agree active rain is a great place for us to get together and talk about common issues we are facing and sometimes to vent frustrations.   I recently wrote Myths about Realtors on active rain which kind of talks about the percieved image of realtors.

AR is a great place to get frustrations out. It is very difficult to get "honest" opinions from others in an office (unless they are close friends too). Agents (because we are competitive) tend to keep their guards up... hummm may be a blog in this somewhere?

Steven, thank you for posting this.
I dislike the negativity also.
So i brush it off and move on.
The one's being so negative will be the one's lost in the shuffle.

In this market especially, its important to put the ear plugs in, raise your head and charge full speed ahead.
