How is your email inbox these days since you started blogging? Is it filling up more quickly? The better question might be – is it ever empty. Since I began blogging on Active Rain (only a few weeks ago), I have seen a substantial increase in traffic through my inbox.
Of course, one of the main reasons I am blogging for our team is to help build relationships with others in the real estate community. We are hoping that we can eventually do some business with many of you. If this is one of your desires also, drop me a note. We are happy to add links and associations, but we like to get to know people a bit first because Who You Are Speaks Louder than Words.

I just added Broker Bryant to our links. I’ve been reading him fairly regularly and he certainly seems like a person I would like to send some business to. I also, added Marianna Wagner in Colorado Springs to my associates list. The girl has spunk! What about that Derek? Can we expect to hear from him in the future?
Here are a couple of emails I received recently in their entirety. This is my first introduction to each individual. What you see is what I got. I have added the links to the websites and blogs for your convenience. My question to you is – What do you think? Give me your comments. (see my lcomment below #4 for some clarification)
Harper Team,
What's up? You didn't join Everything California nor did you join Listings by Address.
I need your participation so that California will out perform the other states.
Please consider, we would love to have your input!

I think the second one..that guy Scott is good...lol
But, he mispelled "clients", one of his pet peeves...
I respect your looking around the network for opinions. Not many do so and add people on the network as an associate rather quickly. The associates that I have on my network have had good communication with me and I can feel confident in passing my clients to them for advice and guidance!
Have a great weekend! We're off to Hawaii for a week of fun in the sun and a U2 concert :)
