Pamela Seeley, It Has Been Nice to Know You!

I hate seeing friend leave the Rain, and Pamela was a great writer about her California area and so many great topics.

Pamela has decided to move most of her writing to her own blog, and I can appreciate that. But, I really think that I get to “know” people here in the Rain, and if they aren’t friends, some are even more like family.

It is tough to lose even one. There were comments aplenty about her decision, but, ultimately, it is her decision.

And, while I really hate to see her leave, at least I know that I can check her out from time to time.

Any change is hard, it has been tough to permanently lose people, as in Karen Anne Stone, Clint Mckie, among others. There voices have been silenced permanently.

Ah, well, life goes on…..just don’t think that I will let you go easily….

Best, Ron

I know how you feel about some of the changes and I feel about the same way Bill, but AR would be surely a lot less without William Feela putting out those interesting Minnesota posts, please don't leave!

Hello Ron,

What a shame to lose another Rainer...with the latest Zillow merger, I do wonder what the future holds in store for us here in the Rain.

Ron - I went over to Pamela to see if she can reconsider. I have a blog on my site. I rewrite it several days later for AR.

Grant Schneider I hope that she reconsiders, too. She would get a lot of mileage out of having posts in both place with the linking! Thanks for helping out!

Lisa Von Domek I know. But, I am going to soldier on for a while at least. I get a fair amount of business from the Rain!

Hi Ron -- a very nice tribute to Pamela Seley, REALTOR® but in a comment she promised to comeback and give us an update on the success-in-the-making of her work-in-progress. We all need to keep our options open.

AR is social media but it's also a lot more than that too.

Thanks for telling us about Pamela's decision.

We do not need to lose a blogger friend. We can still subscribe to her blogs.

Michael Jacobs I agree everyone should do what they feel they need to. For some, AR is still an option. For me, it's clear it is not an option for what I am wanting to accomplish. I don't think anything is going to change here with the Z merger, at least for now...

Well if the plans to maintain her "rankings" here as stated in her last post I don't think she's leaving. I just see her as saying her primary place to put public pointing posts is on her own site. Smart move, one I think everyone here should do that sells real estate. But I can't imagine a better place than AR for learning from others in the business who are willing to help.

I'm not familiar with Pamela, but I think it's nice of you to write this about her. I have a wordpress blog where I post most of the posts that I write here....no social interaction there though.

Debbie Laity Pamela posted the piece about leaving the Rain for posting at least. And, I will miss her great posts. I think she mentioned she will still commment from time to time, though.

I haven't had much interaction with her either, Ron. But, with the way we have to spend our time these days, I don't blame her either.
