My good friend Scott Gormley  http://activerain.com/lendingmagician was kind enough to write a blog about me reaching a milestone on this site. The milestone is that of reaching the 100,000 point plateau , http://activerain.com/blogsview/31085/A-Congrats-to-Eddy  and i really thank him for taking the time out of his day to do so. He is also about to reach the mark very soon.

I have been on this site since the end of july and at first i was hestiant to particpate due to the fact that the site was dominated by realtors. I didnt think i would fit in or would be able to relate to their bloggings. I got past all that and have made some tremendous long lasting associations on this site. Contrary to popular belief, the more points you earn due to participation on this you DO earn business. Not just from clients reading your blogs and browsing the website,  but from other mortgage professionals. I have also referred business out as well, reciprocation is the key to creating long standing business relationships on here. Along the way other mortgage professionals have joined such as Brian Brady, Jeff Belonger, George Souto, Nima Rezvan, Scott Gormley , to name a few. They have done this website a great justice by showing a mortgage professionals point of view on real estate issues. Their blogs are awesome and are always highly rated and deversedly so. My blogs are geared towards customers and their need for understanding the basics of real estate financing.

There are many ways we can help each other out. As professionals we need each others help ad theres nothing wrong with asking for that needed assistance. Pride doesnt get you anywhere. After all this is a SOCIAL networking website we just happen to all have something in common , real estate! I also would like to thank Nima "The Mortgage Man" Rezvan for inviiting me to the site after he saw me on myspace. Joining and particpating Active Rain is the best business move i made in 2006 by far.

Thanks Everyone,

Sincerely,

Eddy Martinez
