On the "SURFACE" the Help in Active Rain may appear to be "Somewhat Lacking".  

When you start, you can get overwhelmed just trying to make your way.  

Then, once you start to learn the ropes, it gets easier and then you find out there is a lot more to learn.  

The community of Active Rain, is full of people that are very helpful and have helped me along the way.  

I want to say: THANK YOU, you know who you are!  

I know that I do not have all the answers there are so many here in Active Rain that know more about blogging than I will ever know. 

However, I am always willing to "LEND a HAND" I think that is part of the beauty of Active Rain.  

As we are learning the ropes we get help from others and as we become more experienced we are now able to lend a helping hand.... That is how life should work.

Did the founders of Active Rain plan this out when they started. I do not think so...

but what a wonderful system. What a concept!  

People helping people!!! I love it!!!

Thank you Active Rain!

Well said, Charles.  You are so right, it's all about the people helping other here.  I have been amazed at the willingness to share knowledge and experience with others that takes place.  It reminds me that there are other professionals out there who are willing to do the right thing just because it's the right thing.  I'm glad I'm a part of this!

Charles, how true. There are many people here that have been a huge encouragement to me in my blogging and have given me some great ideas for ways I can better serve my community with my blog. I think the way it is set up to be helpful to all is a great asset to us all. Thanks by the way for being one of those members for me.

SCOTT - My point was not that AR help is not there (you obviously are very helpful). My point is that we have so many wonderful people in AR willing to help each other out and that is out-standing! I hope that makes sense?

10/12/2007 03:29 PM by Charles McDonald / Your Trusted Broker for Charlottesville Real Estate (RE/MAX Assured Property)


Charles,

How true! If the spirit of cooperation throughout the industry was half as real as it is here in AR wouldn't it be a wonderful thing! Thanks,   Fran

Hey Charles, I second that thought. I wrote a post the other day that is getting some great responses from some of the top bloggers on the Rain. I asked them if they had to do it all over again, how would they go about it? I am overwhelmed how well received that post has been so far. AR members have left a wealth of knowledge behind for all to read. I'm glad I joined Active Rain and will continue to contribute to others when I can.

Charles,

I've been on, only a week or so, and have already met some very helpful people.I think I'm gonna like the neighborhood.

I am sort of  new at this so I cant compare very well, but so far this has been a great experience I hope to grow with it and when appropriate give back.

Thanks

Charles, You are so right!  I never expected to learn as much or get so much help from so many talented and wonderful people.  AR is a great place to be!

Charles, it does take awhile to learn the ropes, if new people will just hang in there.

10/12/2007 09:09 PM by Missy Caulk-Ann Arbor- Realtor(R)- Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams-Ann Arbor)


Charles, you are right.  This has been a great experience and I have received so much information from so many knowledgeable people.  This is such a great place to learn and share what we know.

10/12/2007 09:25 PM by Stella Barbour - Real Estate Agent - Serving Northern Virginia (Jobin Realty - Real Estate Agent)


Charles - You are such a nice guy!  i am learning little by little.  ;)

10/12/2007 11:33 PM by Candy Henthorne- Spring Texas Real Estate (Results Realty)


How true!   I have been consistently amazed at the wealth of information here and the willingness of people to offer their help to everyone. 

10/13/2007 04:26 AM by Kris Wales-Macomb County MI real estate -Ask me about buyers agency in Michigan (RE/MAX Advantage 1, Inc.)


STELLA - We can learn and share here better than I can in my office of 60+ agents.

10/13/2007 07:08 AM by Charles McDonald / Your Trusted Broker for Charlottesville Real Estate (RE/MAX Assured Property)


Your comments echo my sentiments exactly. I have been helped so much by others here willing to share their expertise and knowledge. I have so many people to thank and I value their input and relationship through this vast space and time. I hope I am as helpful to others.

10/13/2007 09:50 AM by Gaylen Thornton (Desert Heritage Real Estate)


Charles - You bring up a very important point about helping others and sharing ideas.  The more we help each other the more EVERYONE benefits and the higher we raise the real estate industry.

10/13/2007 10:41 AM by Sam Miller (RE/MAX Stars Realty)


SAM - That is a good point that I did not think about when writing this blog, thank you!

10/13/2007 11:07 AM by Charles McDonald / Your Trusted Broker for Charlottesville Real Estate (RE/MAX Assured Property)


Well said Charles, I learn something new every day here.

Charles,

you have always been there to give a helping hand to this new comer, and I THANK YOU!.

 

10/14/2007 07:38 AM by Patricia "Pattie " Romano Your HomeTown Realtor 609 312-9043 (RE/MAX AT BARNEGAT BAY-)


PATTIE - You are most welcome and I hope you will return the favor by helping someone else! This is a great system!

10/14/2007 08:03 AM by Charles McDonald / Your Trusted Broker for Charlottesville Real Estate (RE/MAX Assured Property)


Charles, thank you for having a great attitude!  Can you suggest a blog or a group that can help give some definitions on some of the acronyms that just get thrown around in here.  It is hard for a newbie to grasp the new language right away.  :)

Maybe that would be a good post for some of the experienced members here in Active Rain.  Actually, I should do a search to see if someone has already done that.  Thanks again!

10/15/2007 02:33 AM by REAL ESTATE AMERICA - Ernie Cabrera, CEO


ERNIE - You figured it out, the idea of doing a search should get you the results you are looking for. How about you do a post on your finding?

10/15/2007 06:38 AM by Charles McDonald / Your Trusted Broker for Charlottesville Real Estate (RE/MAX Assured Property)


Thanks Charles for your offer. Really appreciate it. I am new at this.
