First day on active rain!

Well to all the Realtors nice anough to read my blog, hello! I decided to give active rain a go after I was asked to speak on technology at the Kentucky Association of Realtors. Another agent speaking based her share of the class on the benefits of belonging to this great group of techies. Being that I am interested in keeping up with the new generation of buyers and sellers I thought I'd give it a go. Seems like it is full of valuable information.

I am currently attending the RE/MAX convention in Las Vegas and have been featured as a speaker in one of the large forums going on after Brian Buffini and the founder of RE/MAX, Dave Liniger. Pretty big stuff for a small town girl. I'll fill you in upon my return and let you how I survived!

Welcome to Active Rain! Lots to learn here and fun, too! Join the Newbie Group, then edit this post and post to that group, so that it will get some coverage. Then read some blogs posted in that group and make comments! You are on your way in the Rain.

Good luck on your speech and let us know how it went. You must be good or you wouldn't have been invited to speak.

Melinda, Welcome to ActiveRain! Your team can definitely take advantage of the resources here. (and referrals!) And you've already gotten lots of great advice. With a region as diverse as Lexington, take a look into posting to localism for resources for the consumers. When you're in my part of the bluegrass, come see Tony & I @ Tony Clark Realtors
