What is Active Rain?

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group # S.0190863

There once was a time when everyone knew what it was. Unfortunately, through the years, (and through a change of ownership where it was briefly owned by a corporation that didn’t want to really make it better) many people are not aware of what Active Rain is today.

 

As a real estate agent, Active Rain is a great resource of networking. By connecting with other members on the platform, and especially reading and commenting on their blogs, you get to know top producing agents from all over North America. By reading those blogs, you will learn more about the latest in the real estate industry as well as market trends throughout the nation. This will easily keep you as one of the best-informed agents in your marketplace. Next, as a member it is to your advantage to blog on a regular basis. Not only will this force you to become even sharper with your real estate knowledge, it will allow the real estate community as well as your marketplace learn more about you and what is happening in your particular area.

 

As someone that serves the real estate industry, Active Rain is a great resource to learn who the top agents are that you can do business with. By reading and commenting on blogs you will learn more about what the industry is experiencing in the moment. By posting blogs, top agents will become familiar with your expertise and knowledge helping you generate more business.

 

As a consumer, Active Rain is a great resource to see who knows the most and is doing the most in your local area. By reading their blogs, you can see who truly has knowledge of the neighborhood you live in or desire to move to. Active Rain is also a great source to get the real story of what is going on in the real estate marketplace. When you really want to know what is going on, you will find the latest news stories effecting the real estate industry on a daily basis.

 

Active Rain is the most active source in the real estate industry.

Hi Rocky- I would love for it to become again what it once was. I still feel that for anyone getting into the industry or wanting to keep up with what's going on, this is the best site for it. Whether or not you blog or comment, you can learn a lot if you just stop by and read the posts and comments. That said, you get a lot more out of it if you do become engaged here. Well done, Rocky.

I've been an ActiveRain blogger since 2008.  I thought then, and I still do, that it is a very valuable wellspring of collective real estate knowledge from those who dwell in its waters.

Hello Rocky - although, ActiveRain is a real estate social media information-sharing website the people who participate make it so much more than that.

Rocky you are correct in saying ActiveRain has gone through several owners, and changes since its birth in June of 2006.  During that time many members have come and gone, even some of the ones who at one point were part of the glue that held this website together.  But even with all that has transpired the last 15 years, many of the core members have remained active and kept much of the website in tacked, and hopefully that will always be the case.

Hi Rocky Dickerson - I have been a member since late 2011.  My first post was in 2012.  On my 3rd post, I got over 5500 views with only 1 comment.  AR and the Internet were a lot different back then!

Morning Rocky.

When I started in the Rain I had not idea of what to write about or who to follow.  Things surely has changed.  As with all things one of these days I'll leave this platform, but I do hope it is a long before that happens

I think the leader has promised that ActiveRain will once again become the place to be for real estate, I am looking forward to that actually being the case.
