Success in the Rain

Reblogger
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Dagny's Real Estate

I can honestly say that Active Rain has taught me a lot, both from the staff and the members, but also I have been getting a steady stream of calls from my blog posts.    It has been wonderful!

Success time!  It warms my heart to hear how AR has directly attributed to your success.  Through your blogging efforts and determination many of you can attribute serious $ to your presence here on the 'Rain.

I recently went to the Picasso exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum (if it comes to your city, I highly recommend it).  Picasso once said "Action is the foundational key to all success".  Action, action, action!  Let's get Active!!!

"Driving home one night a few months ago, I received a call from a distressed seller who had googled their city and short sales... guess who popped up! I listed the $600,00 home the next day, and was able to gain an approval on their short sale in 43 days! Since then, I have also received 2 referrals via my active rain blog, as well as several calls from other agents and consumers alike, needing assistance and advice. I had no idea how deeply Active Rain could affect my business positively, but am very thankful!"

"AR has been amazing, not only for the valuable insights I take away daily from other agents, but also what it's done for my bottom line. A year ago, when I joined the AR community, I didn't know what a blog was. Today, I can honestly say that my blogging on AR has brought me over $30,000 in commissions that I would have never had. Thanks guys, and keep up the good work!"

"I have been a member of Active Rain since January 2009, but just recently have become active and signed up to be a Rainmaker. In less then three weeks of actively blogging and using my outside blog for the public, I recieved a call from a woman that saw my blog and wants me to help her find something when she comes up from California. Now I know that nothing might ever come of this as sometimes this happens, but it is up to me to keep the contact going until she is ready. It is a lead that I would not have normally received as it was directly from my use of Active Rain."

"So far we've picked up new clients, gotten deals done and get contacts on a regular basis from folks reading our blog. I can't think of a better thing I have done for my business! Get on the RAIN!"

 

 

Craig Reeves (Keller Williams Realty Jupiter): Real Estate Agent in Jupiter, FL Craig Reeves (Keller Williams)
"Active Rain has allowed my clients to see their homes listed for sale on the first page of Google which in turn has resulted in more listings within my farm area as well as buyers who have contacted me to see these and other listings in my farm area."

"Well I do not know where to start. I have been active here on ActiveRain for 2 weeks now and have learned so much. It just seems there is no end at all and you people are so nice and friendly. I can't believe how helpful everyone is to me and answering questions I am sure you have heard a million times. I have actually gotten 1 referral already so cross your fingers. I am sure if I run into problems you guys will be here to help. I am so surprised there are not more agents on here-I mean wow this is absolutely the best real estate resource available...."

Let it Rain my friends....Let it Rain!
