Who would I Like to Meet Live and In Person?

Where Do I Start?

 

I remember a few years ago there was a Challenge similar to this one; we had to pick three “Gold Star” members. When I wrote that post I chose Craig Daniels, Tammy Emineth, and Richard Yates, each of them still rank very high and I would want to meet them.

When I wrote that post after being here for less than 60 days, I felt that I left so many members out of the list. That same feeling has come back; there are too many members that I would like to meet in person. So I guess I am apologizing in advance for the exclusion of so many.  J

So let’s start with those members that are relatively close to me and I have a good chance of meeting them in the future.

 

Kathleen Daniels – Kathleen has a positive attitude that I really enjoy. Reading her posts here has been an excellent opportunity to learn about her personally as well as her short sale experience. I had a chance to contact her by phone and we talked for quite a while about so many things, it was as if we were neighbors chatting out front. I lived in San Jose for many years, so we had a lot in common to talk about. She has a couple of Facebook pages: San Jose Short Sales and San Jose Real Estate News

 

Bryan Robertson – I have been reading Bryan’s posts, and commenting on them, for a very long time. His posts are always very well written and to the point; I learn something every time I read his works. He has recently topped the Million Point mark which is very impressive. The fact that he is an Ambassador and a moderator of the Banatude Group says a lot about his character; something that I would like to see in person. Maybe one day I can pull him away from the beautiful homes in Los Altos and meet him in person.

 

Pacita Dimacali – Working from her office in Oakland, CA she likes to use several approaches to helping her clients. She seems so personable I’m sure she has a strong client base in the Alameda and Contra Counties that she markets her homes. I has enjoyed the posts that she writes and feel that she would by fun to meet in person. I have seen her pictured in many of the ActiveRain MeetUps, I may have to get to one of those in the future to meet her face-to-face.

Bryan does sound like someone I'd like to meet Bliz.

I think many of us will find it hard to narrow it down to just three Sharon.

Tom - I haven't started this yet because I can't pick out three people from all my wonderful ActiveRain friends. I would like to meet you all.

Tom,  This is such an honor. Thank you so much.  You stand a good change of meeting me, Bryan and Pacita as we are all "regulars" at our meet-ups. If the timing is right I would drive to Sacramento to a meet-up!  Bryan and Pacita are both top notch individuals.  They are wonderful people and great real estate professionals. 

I feel the same way, when we spoke it was like were had known each other for years.  Until one actually experiences the relationships we form here in the Rain there is no way to understand the "magic" that happens here.  There are so many wonderful people. Of course, we want to meet everyone.  

Thanks again, Tom.  Until we meet face to face ... it will happen some day.

Well I can second what Kathleen wrote!  It is truly an honor to be on this list and I very much appreciate being included in such good company. 

I'm absolutely sure we can connect sometime soon as this is the time of year to be making the rounds, having MeetUps, and connecting (or reconnecting) with friends old and new.

Tom --- wow! You are so sweet! I haven't blogged in a while, but psyching myself out to get my groove back. Your blog is the catalyst to get me going again.

Thanks for the recognition :)

And I third the motion --- Bryan and Kathleen and I always love our meet-ups. The last one was at Vie Winery (Bryan's) on Treasure Island.  Had a blast!

Hope to see you soon --- I do enjoy your photoshopped pictures on Facebook. You are getting really good at it!

Tom, you mean that I have met someone you haven't yet? I wouldn't have guessed that but I have met Kathleen on several occasions and she has earned her reputation for sure. She has been so supportive and we appreciate that you recognized her as well.

I did notice that you were MIA for a while Pacita, was going to send a message to check on you.  :)

Good to see you here again. I look forward to seeing your posts back in my rotation.

Tom, My list of want to meets is huge and I guess I just need to start working on the list and checking off the names. These are excellent choices and not too far from you so you can get it done.

Tom~ I remember Craig's contest. I wrote SEVERAL posts because I didn't want to exclude anyone. I'll need to go back and find those posts!

BTW, thank you for the introduction to Pacita. I'll go over to visit her blog.
