This Will Not Find Me A New Listing Or A Buyer

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with HomeRome Realty 410-530-2400 311291

 

 

Let me start by saying this is not going to help me get a new unique listing or find a special buyer for my wonderful exciting properties in Baltimore.

 It is not going to help with Google juice or SEO.

And maybe no one will read this because it is rather frivolous in the scheme of Real Estate.

But those members who  have been here for awhile  may like this bit of trivia.

 

Just for fun...this question was posted  by Nathan Gesner . 

 
 

Who is the "oldest" member of ActiveRain? 

 

I am curious which member has been on the Rain the longest. Must still be active today.

                    When I joined  in 2006, there were 844 members before me.  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Margaret Rome

When I first read the question I was not sure if he meant ... the oldest in terms of age ... or oldest in terms of who has been here the longest.  Now we know

Hi Margaret - You six are a testiment to the value of persistence in the rain. It's interesting to go back and check out the membership roster - there's a lot of surprises there, as well as memories of those who have moved on.

I think I joined in 2010, and there were already tens of thousands of members.  There must have been some wild and crazy growth in those early years!
