How many RE Brokers & Agents at AR are Licensed?

 

Vegas Bob has always wondered if all the Brokers & Agents at ActiveRain are really licensed to sell Real Estate.

Vegas Bob over the last 3-4 years has sent emails to Brokers & Agents in other states, asking for information on Real Estate in the state they are licensed. What's puzzling is approxemently only 60% of the emails Vegas Bob sends out get replies back. 

So this being said, Vegas Bob is either thinking his emails are going into the Spam area of the ActiveRain members email addresses ... 

Or these ActiveRain members might not really be licensed to sell real estate.

Vegas Bob is wondering if other Activerain members might have some answers to Vegas Bob's question, because ...

Why waste time here if you're not licensed?  Perhaps they've left the business?

Hi VB, I have been told by more thatn one member of the Rain that the email associated with AR is not their primary and they don't check it often. As for your question, I think others have gotten out of the business or don't want to be bothered.

VB, I am legitimate. In our state you need to be licensed two years in order to get a Broker's license. I was a licensed broker 25 months after getting my first license

I think Debbie Reynolds is right. Several folks use out of date emails or ones they send spam to. I've also experienced it but chalk it up to, they really don't want to be found.   Silly to me when you are using a site to gain potential clients.

Bob my experience is those who are in the top half of the leaderboard points are active....remainder are dormant, lazy or have yet to include AR on their task list.

80/20 rule.  I know when I host local meetups and take the time to email, call and so forth for the personal touch, I rarely receive a reply. No courtesy response whatsoever.  It escapes me.  Perhaps they use Ar just for posting their listings....not certain.
