Hi Ben!

Kevin Sandridge, here.  I just joined the Active Rain community myself and wanted to drop a line to share some of the good vibes and welcome wishes I have received already. It's great to see another FL-Based colleague in the network! 

I'm very excited about this community - basically because folks seem so willing to help out, provide industry insight, and share their good news and experiences!

A couple of things: 

One:  Please consider increasing the information on your profile page.  Check out the profiles on other Realtor's sites here on Active Rain who are listed as "Featured" or "Tops" in their area (look for high point totals).  You'll find that this will seriously boost your presence on ActiveRain - via the added points. 

Two: I urge you to keep blogging on this site!  You will be AMAZED at the awesome feedback you receive very soon after they hit the network!  I use Google Reader to subscribe to blogs that provide me with ideas about what I'd like to comment on - both industry wise and just for fun!  Check it out I am more than willing to step you through the site and to help you get a few more blog posts generated if you wish - as a way of adding some value and paying forward some good networking vibes!  :)

Lastly, I'm sure you know that 33% of the FHA Loan purchased homes last year used Downpayment Assistance Programs.  Today, this number is way up  - actually over 40% in the 1st five months of 2008!  I'm actually hosting a conference call w/ the FL manager of Nehemiah on August 14th, if you'd like to learn more about DPAs and what's going on.  Drop a line to let me know and I'll be sure you get on the call.

I do quite a lot of work via social networks, email campaigns, and relationship building.  If I can ever be of any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.


Looking forward to what you'll share with us all here on Active Rain!  :)

Blessings,

Kevin Sandridge
