The idea of buying or selling a home in Crofton MD, or Anywhere USA, is beginning to take shape in your mind. Nothing definite yet... but you have some questions and you don't want to ask a real estate agent...

Finding the answer may be easier than you think.

CROFTON MD HOMEBUYERS and SELLERS asked these questions in January 2011:

Kimberly, congratulations on your feature today.

Pam, it IS... and some people just don't want to talk to an agent upfront. Yes, some of my competitors are here, and I may be helping to generate business for them, but getting consumers onto Activerain at least eliminates the other 95% of agents in my area.

Larry & Sheila - I highly recommend this exercise to everyone. I had no idea I looked so stern and smiled so little when speaking with people. Gotta work on that.

Margaret, excellent use of all the tools available to an Internet user looking for information on real estate. The ActiveRain platform is a great area to get everything answered.

Ed - Nice talking with you today! 'Hoping the title will attract readers, that people will turn to Activerain, and in the process maybe decide to contact me. Fingers crossed.

Ritu - I confess, Activerain is a vehicle for me to promote myself here. LOL.

Margaret, I really liked the use of the video to get your point across! The sweet thing about it was that it was engaging and direct, and didn't really take that long. I believe that this will work for you big time...hmmm..and it just might work for anyone else in other markets willing to try it out...

Margaret, thank you. You MADE me do it with the gentle shove to participate in the January challenge. It got me back into the blogging groove.

Willliam, You're right. Anyone can do it. The "hard" part was figure out a way to make it about the consumer first, me 2nd, and use Activerain to benefit us both. I don't think they mind, do you?

Sheldon - 'Hope you're recovery is going flawlessly. I enjoyed seeing you, too, but wish it hadn't been a post-op update.
