My First Blog feels like the first day of school

By
Real Estate Agent with PRG Real Estate BRE#01881005

So here I am, finally posting my first blog of many to come. (I hope!) It reminds me of my first day of attending new schools. The first day is always interesting. I always wondered what type of friends I would meet, how my teachers were going to be and of course, hopefully not do anything embarrassing!

Like the first day of school, I am anxious to see what type of response I will get from this blog and future blogs. I am also interested in finding out what type of people I will meet. But most importantly, I am happy to know that this community offers very useful and insightful information. Working in Real Estate, we know that rules, guidelines and markets are always changing. I have noticed that Activerain bloggers post information that will benefit me and also consumers. I expect to make mistakes. Like anything else, I will learn from them. I would also appreciate some constructive criticism. I will do anything that will help me be successful in this market. So here it is AR crowd, my first blog and hopefully not my last!

Well I am not gonna lie, I was surprised that someone actually read my blog. It has definitely made it easier on me knowing that all of you are very supportive. Thanks for all the support and suggestions. I did check out some links that were posted to help me out. Debb, thanks for subscribing =)

I have seen that people try to respond to each comment, but being that I just logged on and saw all of these comments, I don't think I can thank all of you one by one lol. But let me assure you that I read every single comment, and I definitely feel more motivated than ever! Lets have a good productive week tomorrow, and good luck to all! I Hope to run into you guys/gals more often!!!
