What an incredible concept. Created by genius', Active Rain has the potential to be a fantastic tool....but chooses to absolutely suck! Wonderful Potential - Yes, Incredible Network - Yes, Fantastic ideas to further the professionalism of Realtors - Yes, Slight Increase in Spam Junk Mail due to Active Rain solicitors - Yes.........but most important WHY do they #@*&%IT UP, with DAMN POINT SCORING system??? I'm not a snob, I wish all Realtors would join....but I am looking at 2 "Top Rated" - ACTIVE RAIN members....1. Is just licensed & as of 5 minutes ago on MLS has NEVER had a sale! #2 A previously licensed agent which is currently NOT EVEN actively licensed...but is riding up points because of past referrals to Active Rain. If I was the public.....then came to this site, expecting a professional based on points...What a disappointment! Don't get me wrong...Active Rain is an incredible tool...I've learned & met a lot of High Quality folk....but can anyone justify a King's Crown Ranking, just because they blog for 7 hours a day and rack up trivial points!

Hmmmm... good question.  But then again, AR is available to everyone. I've referred TONS of agents and only two have officially registered. I've told them what a great resource it is and how I've found information on it, recieved referrals from it...AR works, bottom line.  If that is what gives you the edge then I guess that's what's working. I feel for you on the newness of your competition though.  Good luck!!
