Isn't it amazing how we can join a great community like ActiveRain and meet such wonderful people?  By meet, I don't mean the standard meeting face to face, shaking hands, or sitting down for lunch, I mean the reading of posts.  I have learned so much about my fellow REALTORS across this great country just by simply reading what they write.  Isn't that a strange way to feel that you know someone? 

Not really...what people write and how they write it tells so much about an individual and their personalities.  I feel that I have made some blogging friends in this community. I sometimes think that I actually know them, as I eagerly login and check if they have new posts or check to see if they have commented to my comments left on their posts.  And what a GREAT feeling to know that they have taken the time to respond.  I would like to mention a couple of people that I feel deserve a mention and give a few points on their personalities that I have determined from their posts:

Don Rogers - O Fallon, MO - If I find myself moving to MO - I will definitely call on Don to find me a home. Don's posts ring with a positive note - Just from his posts I can tell  he is a dedicated REALTOR with his prime focus - his clients/customers.  He is family-oriented with deep respect for his family.  And he likes chocolate cake!

Christina Williams - Crossville, TN - Although we work in the same area and Christina is a "competitor" I think she is a great person and she has the most beautiful smile.  She inspires, challenging people do their best.  She encourages REALTORS to work together so we may all reach our potential.  With her informative posts she shows she keeps her clients/customers a priority.

Todd Clark - Beaverton, OR - I find his posts thought provoking, which indicates a thoughful person, and from his "special guest post" a very loving dad. Todd you would definately be getting a call from me if I were a buyer in Beaverton, OR.

I know there are many, many more people here that deserves a mention, and I hope that I have an opportunity to mention all of them.
