Active Rain! An Indispensable Resource in Real Estate

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Home Buyers Realty, LLC-Manchester, Bolton. Vernon,Ellington 0788174

Once again, Active Rain community has become my "go-to" resource yesterday. When my husband texted me about his friend's distraught mother who is trying to sell her modest home in Wingdale, New York, there was no thought direction that led me any other way but to the active rain site.

 

When it comes to professionals, Active Rain has never let me down. I can proudly admit that this community has sent me a few successful transactions and I, on the other hand, had passed on a few. 

 

True professionals abound in this community. My most recent testament was from yesterday's interaction with Jennifer Fivelsdal . I never met her before but because she has an active profile and activity in Active Rain, I didn't have the qualms to contact her as my initial action to help my husband's close friend's mother. 

 

I sent her a message via this forum and she called me on the same day. I don't expect anything less from Active Rain members anyway. 

 

Kudos to Active Rain. Let it Rain for the Longest Time!

Good morning Maria. I feel the same way about this forum. It is always the first place I go.

You can always depend on Rainers for referrals or great advice.

Good morning, Maria Gilda Racelis AR has become a special place because of the members....it's just like one would judge a real estate office....it's as good as the people who work there....

and years ago, I was sent a Red Hook key chain from Jennifer Fivelsdal to this day, I still have my keys on it....

Maria, I have used REALTORS here in the RAIN too, but there are times, there are not any active Rainers anymore.  Jennifer will be a great referral!

Hi Maria- this is the magic of this community. SEO and Google juice aside, you will not find another resource as well as one as giving as the ActiveRain members.

This is such a great network to have and although I have yet to receive any referrals from people on here that claim to believe I am a great agent, I am hopeful that will happen in the future, haha.

Oh this is such a wonderful testament to the power of AR. It frustrates me when people abandon this platform over the loss of SEO. What about all of the other great benefits?  SO happy you got the help you needed.  D

Maria, I miss the days we had more active members and had plentiful posts to comment and learn from.
