Reach Your Dreams While Helping Others Reach Theirs! Won't You Join Me?


YOU'RE INVITED! Calling All Real Estate Professionals.....

Candace Robinson, an agent with Home Smart International Real Estate in Mesa, Arizona and has started and founded the first Arizona East Valley Real Estate Blogging Network! Candace has been successfully blogging with the Active Rain Network since August of 2007. She considers herself a "novice blogger with much to learn!" "AZ REAL ESTATE BLOGGING NETWORK" is Candace's latest project to help other bloggers like herself (or want to be bloggers) with building their online presence online through a blogging forum! So often I have come across other professionals that have heard about Blogs and not quite sure what they are or their purpose! For me personally, it's amazing to me that NOT all Real Estate professionals are on the internet learning about 'how to blog', especially for their business! There is a huge number of Real Estate agents in the blogging community but not in comparison as to how many DON'T blog! I often invite others to meet me at local coffee shops or bakery's to sit with me and learn or take a look at my blog and others that I admire. The most common remarks I get are, "I just don't have the time," or "I wouldn't know how to do any of that." It's not all that difficult to start a blog with platforms available such as Active Rain or Word Press (that WP Blog is one my 16 yr old has done all by herself) or others on the horizon. For me, Active Rain has been the catalyst for my blogging experience and I find it the most advanced platform to learn the basics of blogging. The features and endless possibilities with Active Rain are fantastic and they are only getting better as time goes on! For me blogging has become a major part of my business and success for my future. I have so much yet to learn and still learning on a daily basis, "thus the reason to start a network," that will help me "Reach My Dreams While Helping Others Reach Theirs!" With that being said, that will be our motto for our networking group and those that volunteer to steer us in the right direction. "REACH YOUR DREAMS WHILE HELPING OTHERS REACH THEIRS" I have learned so much with blogging and yet there is so much more I want to explore. I have met so many wonderful people that have similar interests as mine in the Active Rain community and many that live out of state that no doubt will be a shoe in for referrals!		So, Why not build a local network with Blogging as our common interest and build our businesses together? Sharing ideas, exploring new technology and be an outlet to bounce ideas of posts, blog questions and inquiries? For me it makes sense to take and learn from others and build a referral base with other professionals that have better ideas than mine. To help one another build our businesses and find our strengths! There isn't enough time in my day to explore everything that I want to learn and this new networking group will help me find the answers to my questions a lot faster than on my daily checklist of things to research! Don't you agree? For those that are interested in meeting with our new AZ Real Estate Blogging Network on a monthly basis, be sure to call me direct at 480-202-3558 and RSVP! For more details be sure to check out my post at my blog. I anticipate a strong support and hope for a positive experience for those that want to share, learn and grow with friends and co-workers and like-minded individuals. I also anticipate in the near future a wonderful guest line-up with some Top Bloggers that will visit from out of state and locally. That will share their thoughts and wisdom with us. So stay tuned and keep an eye out for more details as time goes on!! If you have any desire to help in any capacity be sure to let me know. I am building a team of professionals now that would like to jump on board, so give me a call and don't be shy!! Our future website is www.AZRealEstateBlogs.com Our first AZ Real Estate Blogging Network will be held in Gilbert at the new San Tan Village Mall at the Paradise Bakery at 9:00 a.m. starting off with a half hour mingle. From 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. we will have guest speakers, Teri Ellis, Broker, ABR,CRS,GRI,ePRO,MRE, Homes Arizona Real Estate LLC, Paul Slaybaugh with Realty Executives and Shailesh Ghirmire with Phoenix Home Loan Expert and Mike Jones with Tucson Mortgage Company, LLC who will be sharing their experiences and knowledge with blogging and teach us What, Why and How To Blog & Get Started!!

I was so bummed that I missed the Networking event...but my duty to my customers had to come first. I really hope there will be another and look forward to it!

Dione - Sorry we missed you. Hey, customers are priority..we totally understand. There were others that couldn't make it due to business. We promote business first of course. Next month's meeting will be on May 29th around the lunch hour. Hope to see you then.

Hi Candace~ I just saw a few pictures of you guys and it looks like you all had a great time!

I'm so excited to join this group! I look forward to being at the next meeting.

Hi everyone. We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us. I am from Sudan and too poorly know English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "At lola place, identica first preschool client, the technology has been a huge selling point, logistics director faith smith said." With love :p, Chika.
