Lead from Active Rain

By
Real Estate Agent with Remax Marketing Specialists

Today I received my first lead because of Active Rain.  I received a phone call from a woman who said she found me on the internet.  Because I had lived in Connecticut, she felt an association with me.  We chatted about the Northeast and what she wanted to find in Florida.  As the call was ending, I asked her if she found me on our website.  She said, "no, Active Rain."  The power of the blog!  I was so excited as this was the first lead I've had due to my being on Active Rain.  My business partner thinks its a waste of time.  Not!  I believe this is just as important as any networking we do.  I have learned so much from the time I have spent on here. 

Finding AR has been such a blessing to me in my business.  Thank you Active Rain.

Bonnie,

AR certainly can open doors for real estate agents. mortgage brokers and others in the industry. One of the benefits is a direct contact from a client, another SEO boost and so on. Got to love it.

Thank you everyone.  My business partner is now a believer in the value of blogging and active rain!  We'll see what happens with this lead but it is definitely encouraging.  I don't blog as often as I did but I have found that you have to have something interesting and beneficial.  We have to have something to tell people so they will find us. 

I read lots of blogs and I have learned so much from AR.  I learned about AR through a women's network group I belong to.  I check out all websites I hear about.  Some are ok and some not.  AR is certainly one that is GREAT!

Keep on blogging!
