Atlanta Active Rain Meet Up - August 22, 2013

By
Mortgage and Lending with Bay Equity, LLC 770-634-4021 NMLS #206275 GA 25689

 

Our Atlanta Active Rain Meet Up was held this afternoon after the REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE.  It was a long busy day, so we just kicked back and relaxed!  

The conversations covered topics from Active Rain rankings,  4 of the top 10 in Georgia were in attendance.  And you might have noticed, I could have captioned this photo, "Kathy and the guys".

We shared experiences with clients, credit, short sales, bankruptcy and foreclosures and imminent domain.  Nothing was off limits or left out.  It was the good, the bad and everything in the middle.

We all agreed that making the in person connections were the best part of Active Rain.

Kathy, Thanks for hosting. The biggest takeaway concept I got was after hearing a few of your successes with ActiveRain. Blogging by itself probably isn't going to get you that much. But if you use it as a way to more easier start new relationships it can be a great tool. You still need to pick up the phone or meet in person. Blogging Helps set the stage.

Hi Kathy,

Thank you for being such a gracious hostess!  I will have to blow up the picture so the AR T-shirt shines through - :).  Well Carie caught it.  Really neat to meet the guys at the top of the Leaderboard and hear how AR is impacting their business.  The discussions were super cool.

Best of GREAT success to you always!

Wow, lots of guys!  In our area, the Activerain meetups tend to be all gals, but we did have four men at the Maryland Activerain meetup on Monday.  Sounds like you all had a lot of fun!

Hi Kathy. Looks like you had a great turn out. Unfortunately I missed our local one due to a major scheduling conflict but I love attending them. I've met some very cool people this way.

Lana, I think I have missed two, one because it conflicted with another appointment and the second when I was on vacation.
