My First Year AR Anniversary at 100,000 points

On 10-11-06, not quite one year ago, I activated my AR profile and scored my first 100 points. Little did I know how much I would be learning from this fabulous AR community. I wrote my first blog that day on Blog Entry: So what's an ePro?

The next day I started trying to help others in the AR community just as I was being helped by posting Blog Entry: Thinking About Selling Your Home? Tip 1 which was soon followed up by Blog Entry: Thinking About Selling Your Home? Tip 2 and Blog Entry: Thinking About Selling Your Home? Tip 3 the next day.

I then moved into Blog Entry: Winning over FSBO's Tip 1, Blog Entry: Winning over FSBO's Tip 2, and Blog Entry: Winning over FSBO's Tip 3 the day after that.

I won't bore you with all the tutorial type blogs on Time Management, Windows Keys and Keyboard Shortcuts, How to Find the Best Investment Properties, How to Improve Your Credit Score, Using Mapping Tools, and Handling Objections (there have been 336 so far with this one being 337). I have received 619 comments that I appreciate and I have made 663 comments that I hope others have appreciated.

For the most part, we all get along fine in the Rain. BB has disagreed with me on an occasion but with him being the gentleman that he is, he shared his points of disagreement and did not embarass or harass me. He is a great addition to AR and have learned from his many blogs. I wish I could thank all the others individually that I have learned from as well. I also appreciate the AR moderators for putting this community together that not only benefits each one of us but allows us to communicate to consumers our professionalism, our marketing skills, how we listen to consumers' needs, and how we are here to serve them and answer their questions.

While I have now qualified to post to The Activerain Silver Star Hall of Fame by hitting the 100,000 mark, I don't want anyone to think that I should be listened to any more than the person getting started with only a few thousand points. I have gleaned many things from people new to the Rain with very few points.

My most recent blogs are more along the line of helping people. I had the Emergency numbers for Blog Entry: Emergency Numbers Lawrence Kansas Real Estate Area, Blog Entry: Emergency Numbers Eudora Kansas Real Estate Area, and Blog Entry: Emergency Numbers Baldwin Kansas Real Estate Area.

I also just finished my tenth Tools of the Trade Tips as shown below. I hope they continue to help people as that is why I am here.

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 1

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 2

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 3

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 4

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 5

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 6

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 7

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 8

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 9

Blog Entry: Tools of the Trade Tip 10

Thanks again to all the moderators and all the Rainers for their help in the past year. Here's to our AR community having many more learning times in the years to come!

Rob...congratulations on making 100,000 points! And a 1 year AR anniversary at almost the same time! That's AWESOME! I'm looking forward to your 2nd year anniversary and 200,000 points! Keep your thinking cap on!

Wow. I just got a little more involved in the community. I haven't even got to 2,000 yet. I'd love to hear how this community has changed your business. Get many leads from this network?

Rob - Sitting very close to my one year anniversary as well, I am amazed at your 100,000 points! That is truly a great achievement to go with all the great information you've shared over the past year.

Congrats!

Thanks Mary! I'll try to keep the tips coming in my 2nd year. We're all here to learn from each other.

Aaron, AR has not yet produced as many referrals as I had hoped for but I did have one and the home was in the $300,000's price range which is considerably over the average $185,000 home for this area.

Keep up the great work Toby as you enter your second year.

Thanks to all three of you for stopping by!

Rob

Thanks Rob. Congratulations on giving 100% to reach 100,000. I have just now bookmarked the tools.

Congradulations! I am becoming more and more adicted to this. I have really only been active for 2 months at 12,000 points.

Congratulations. I always enjoy a story in which folks have applied the principles of consistency and dogged determination. Very inspiring!
