New Newbie

Hello,

I am a new Realtor, new to the Active Rain community, and this is my very first Blog "ever". I have been on here reading some of the other Blogs, and it is nice to see so many Real Estate Professionals from all over the country coming together and offering advise to all of us "newbies".

I am really enjoying being a Real Estate Agent, even though I have alot of family members saying, "it is a buyers market, and you started Real Estate at a bad time". I know it is probably a little harder for the new agents to get their businesses up and going right now, but I know I am determined to succeed, and I am looking forward to the day when I am so busy that I have to hire and assistant......"Yes I like to dream". So Hello to all the other new Agents out there, and I hope we all do just wonderful.

Hello Sandra!! Welcome to Active Rain. I have been here a month and some of the advice I was given is really relevant now. Blogging can become an obsession. Read, read, read, read. Good luck.

Sadra-

Welcome to AR! You have a great attitude for this business. You;ll always hear "The market is bad now." I've heard that too many times to count. Well, best of luck to you!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. It is nice to connect with other agents and get positive feedback. I am going to read some more blogs, and hopefully soon I will be posting some of my own..........Have a Great Day!

Hi Sandra - Welcome to AR and your new career. It is a tougher time to be jumping in but in the long run will make you that much better. Best of luck with everything.

Hi Sandra and welcome to Active Rain. Read, Read and Read.....

Hi Sandra, welcome to AR! There's a ton of advice and educational materials that will certainly help you kick off your new career the correct way! Also, as for getting into the business at the wrong time- that's not true! You have the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed in a tough market and then truly excel when times get easier. Good luck and take care!

Hi Sandra... Glad to welcome someone "newbier" than me.  Since things in the market (at least mine) are a bit slow, it's a great time to be a "Rainer."  My best advice is to read, read, read!  You'll never catch up, but the more I read, the more I learn.  Lots of great people and great tips here.  Welcome and best of luck!

OH how you will love what Active Rain can do for you!  This site is amazing in boosting your website on the google search engine.  In just 4 short months, my website comes up second on the google search engine thanks to Active Rain.  Lots to learn and to do here.

Welcome Sandra.  You'll find other bloggers are more than willing to help out and share information.

Hi Sandra, I also just got started in the business and am happy that it is "slow".  This gives me time to learn as much as I can!

Welcome......I think you are off to a good start......the Marketing Group has a lot of great info for you , and the Technology one, and oh so many more........it is nice here because you can learn where it is safe, instead of with other Agents in your Office than might or might not want to help you.

Best of Luck, and keep that positive attitude :)
