One of many things I like about Active Rain!

Network, Grow & Learn on your time! What a concept!

As a real estate agent I am a very social guy and I like to see how everyone is doing in the industry!

But when I am in the office I am there to work not talk about this or that and at undetermined times. I got work to do at that moment and time and when I am done I want to go out and be with the framily or meet more people for future business!

AR gives me both! A chance to see what is happening in our industry build comraderie with fellow agents but I control when! If I need a break from what I am doing, I just log on and see what everyone in the real estate industry has to say and learn something at the same time.

And the beauty is, I am not bothering you unless you want me to. You can comment if you would like or read my comments if you like but it is up to you!

I keep AR up on a tab through out the day at the office and check in while I need a minute to reset my focus. Its great.

George, You've hit the nail on the head as to why I now enjoy working from home so much. I get everything done without a lot of unexpected socialization. But with Active Rain, I can still "discuss" ideas, thoughts, etc, so I'm not totally isolated and out of touch.

I like the sharing of ideas and the social aspect of AR. It helps when working from home.

Agree 100%. Enjoy the interaction on my own time. Have learned more on Active Rain in less than a year than I have learned in 19 years of classes and seminars!

It is funny, I joined in 2/08 of this year but really did not get into until the last few weeks and at that time it was all about the points and being on top of my county.

But since then, I see what a vauable tool AR is regardless of the exposure.

Must be a lot of agents who feel the same way.
