ActiveRain Is About Lending A Hand

With a little help from our friendsActiveRain Is About Lending A Hand

One of the unexpected perks of ActiveRain is the resource network here.  It's nothing official, but something we gain over time.  We get to know people coast to coast across the entire spectrum of real estate professions.  If we have a question, we can get answers, e.g. Eric Boucher recently helped us with an FHA condo certification question.

It's a two way street though, not just take but give also.

If someone has a need for Ohio, we want them to call us first. Perhaps it's a direct referral, or perhaps it means we help select another agent outside of our market area.

Recently we're finding more and more opportunity to help other Rainers, and while technically there's "nothing" in it for us, that's not what the community is about is it?

We've had the opportunity to recommend a couple of Rainer agents in Florida to an agent across the table at a closing to help HIS clients.

We've had two mortgage pros reach out to us recently for an Ohio mortgage pro to help a buyer that needed an Ohio licensed mortgage pro.

Today a co-worker working some commercial deals mentioned a local condo project, so I broached FHA certification and let him know I've got someone who's a subject matter expert when he needs help.  And the same co-worker is working a 55+ community in Georgia, and yes, I know a Rainer agent there that would be a perfect fit if they need an agent to help with the project.  I've learned a lot from her, so hopefully I can send something back her way.

It's a Pay It Forward based community and we're happy to help.

BLiz,  I feel that is one of the most magical things about the people here in the AR community.  They help without questioning "what's in it for me?"  I appreciate the confidence I have knowing that when I need to refer clients, I will likely find a referral resource in the community.

BLiz- this is the icing on the chocolate cake about this community.  You can go most anywhere and find an AR member.  And, even though most of us have not met, we will come together to help someone out here.

I too have put together referrals for people I've met along the way with no actual cash payout, but I take true satisfaction from knowing I sent anyone toward an agent that I know would do a great job for them.

Kathleen, AR has long been our first stop when referring clients.  It's so much better than strictly looking at a company directory, we get insight into how the agent operates and personality.

Kathy, The lack of physical meeting as it turns out is a very small thing when it comes to this community, although it's always nice to finally meet a Rainer in person!

Tammy, Same feeling here. 

Ginny, It's nice to be able to return the favor when it's our opportunity to do so.

Hi Bill - There are so many good reasons to be here that sometimes the networking benefits get lost in the shuffle, but they are one of the most useful features, and, like you, one we have come to rely on frequently.

BLiz: Helping others, especially fellow Rainers, never gets old. Reading so much AR content, as many of us do, we almost immediately know someone who can assist when an opportunity comes up in an area around the country.

Dick, AR is a great resource for those that understand what this community is about and participate fully.  Those that want to be here but stay apart are missing the value.

Anita, True!  There aren't too many places we could go without having some connection to AR.

Hi Liz and Bill -- it's that knowing that there is someone I can call(text/email) and say Hi and quickly get an answer that makes AR a pretty amazing place.
