I enjoy being able through Active Rain to call additional attention to my listings and to share information about marketing, financing, negotiation and everything related to real estate with a really fine group of agents across the country. It’s also neat that Active Rain gives me a way to call attention to local events, people, businesses, etc. Active Rain is one of the tools I use to be sure I’m sending people the best possible referrals for their real estate needs anywhere.
