The Community of ActiveRain is Strong

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain, Community Manager

I've had the pleasure of talking to many members this week.  My phone has been ringing off the hook and the best part is I don't know who or what is on the other end.  Every time I've talked to someone, whether they had an issue we were able to resolve or what not, the sincere praise and love for ActiveRain was undeniable.  

It's easy to see we have something special here, it's kind of hard to explain in words but I think some of our members did a good job of it below.

And...if I haven't told you lately....Thank you.  Thank you for spending your time on AR, thank you for supporting each other and treating this community like a delicate egg in your hands.  We are strong because of you.

Kerrie, I was just getting ready to write about what I think is the critical link and it is the staff, management and culture at ActiveRain (as mentioned above by Alan).  Thank you for all you do for us.

Kerrie- ActiveRain has helped me gain an Internet presence that I would not have had were it not for what I've learned here about SEO and blogging.  Add the wonderful community to that and you just can't beat it.  Thank YOU for being our cheerleader and keeping us smiling.

The focus level on AR is invaluable and unlimited! Everybody for the most part seems to be in it to be better than they were before and willing to grow and learn more and more!

 

Love and light,

I agree. It is so hard to explain what AR has meant to me personally and how it has grown my business. It's an awesome place and so are you.

I have written many a post of the wonders of ActiveRain. Nobody ever concludes that it might just be the great staff...

Kerrie, it's little over 3 years when ActiveRain became a part of my life (though my account was created lot earlier.) Since then, there is no looking back. I just feel, if I don't spend an hour every day - including weekends - there is something missing in my life! (not to mention your contribution to ActiveRain, btw)

This platform is a great tool for the professionals involved here. The interaction that is encouraged through the use of the Ambassadors and the contests boosts the use even more.
