Happy anniversary to me. It has been one year and 86,283 points since I joined The Rain.
If I recall correctly, last year at this time, as a real estate agent who knows how dead business can be in Shell Knob, Missouri in winter, I decided to check out some Real Estate web sites. I did a Google search and came across The Real Estate Tomato, which in turn led me to Active Rain.
Little did I know when I tentatively signed up, what an interesting year I had ahead of me. It was addicting. Reading posts from other AR'ers all over the country and Canada. Learning how much we had in common; how different our markets were; seeking and getting advice on our individual needs and concerns.
Membership numbers have about tripled since I came on board in Shell Knob, Missouri, making it impossible to read all the posts our talented Rainers submit, but I learn something every time I click on a post.
It is sometimes frustrating and hard to explain to other real estate agents why they should consider joining Active Rain. Why this venue and group could be such a positive force for them personally and in their business, but so often they just continue playing solitaire on their Floor Time.
I have to give a big THANK YOU to the fellows who got this going. Just received another good lead last night from a man who told me he liked reading my blog and will be coming to Shell Knob, Missouri next month to work with me! Will that be my 5th AR sale? I hope so.
